'It's too late for me to be afraid:' Why this Russian journalist is staying in the country
CNN
In light of Russia's newly imposed draconian anti-press law, journalists are ceasing to report from inside Russia and many have left the country — including international reporters from outlets such as CNN and The New York Times.
But one Russian journalist — Yevgenia Albats, editor-in-chief and CEO of the liberal, independent New Times, is staying. She told CNN's chief media correspondent Brian Stelter on Reliable Sources Sunday that she's "not afraid" of the Kremlin's crackdown.
"I'm not a martyr. But I feel like somebody has to do that," Albats said, noting that up to 160 of the "best reporters" have left Russia.
