Greetings on the opening of the second New Media Festival

August 15, 2025

Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the second New Media Festival.

The message reads, in part:

“I am delighted that your festival has firmly established itself as a prominent platform offering a great opportunity for media professionals, including reporters, editors, observers, and executives heading press services and news websites from both within and outside Russia to engage in direct and meaningful networking. By gathering here at the Senezh Public Management Workshop, you will be able to communicate with major experts and your colleagues and discuss priorities for developing the media sector by presenting your own approaches to addressing existing challenges. Of course, your festival has a very important consolidating and unifying mission and is expected to help promote corporate ethics, responsible civic stand of the media, and a culture of honest and impartial journalism.

I am certain that this forum will take place in a positive atmosphere of creativity and will help you devise recommendations for the benefit of our national media community.”
