A number of foreign publications have opened free access to their publications for readers from Ukraine and Russia. According to the portal Digiday, we are talking about materials on the military operation in Ukraine.
Paid services were canceled by The Washington Post, Financial Times, Dow Jones, The Economist and other foreign publications.
As Financial Times director John Slade explained, “Part of the mission and purpose of the media is to ensure that people have access to outstanding journalism in challenging and difficult times, so making it free is a simple solution.” In turn, the representative of The Washington Post added that the provision of free access affects a small segment of the publication’s international subscribers. Dow Jones noted that paywalls have been canceled for The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and Financial News in Ukraine, as well as in neighboring countries where there is a large influx of Ukrainian refugees, RBC quotes.
Recall that since the start of the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, some media outlets have been blocked, suspended or closed. Among them are the Dozhd TV channel, the radio station Ekho Moskvy, entered by the Ministry of Justice into the register of media-foreign agents.
