Higher School students said that students of programs “Journalism” and “Media Communications” were forbidden to practice practice in foreign agents. The university denies this

The HSE Media Department forbade students of bachelor's programs “Journalism” and “Media Communications” to practice in organizations recognized by the Ministry of Justice “Ino -Agents”. The corresponding letter is at the disposal of Novaya Gazeta.

It says that in order to complete the practice in the “profile organization” it is necessary to decide on the place of its passage. Under the footnote it is said: "We will not be able to issue a practice in organizations: individual entrepreneurs and foreign agents."

It is not known whether the ban on other VSH units applies. "New" sent questions to the press service of the university.

The answer to NIU HSE
“Information about the ban on the students of the FKMD of Practice in organizations of the IP and the media-foreign agents is incorrect, we do not have such a ban, such decisions were not made either at the level of the rector or at the level of the faculty. At the same time, students really received a letter containing erroneous, incorrect information. The mistake of the practice manager, who sent the letter on his own initiative and without coordination with his leadership, is associated with the incorrect understanding of the legislation. ”

Now in the register of the media, “foreign agents” are 103 points. There, the Ministry of Justice makes journalists, media and organizations created by individuals for reporting to the ministry.
