Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated employees of the domestic media industry on Russian Press Day.
He noted that journalists, correspondents, and editors are always at the center of current events, promptly and accurately reporting on what is happening in the country and the world.
"You are true masters of your craft, talented, caring, responsible, and courageous people with a strong civic stance. As President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin emphasizes, the professional work of a journalist is called upon to serve the consolidation of our multinational people, to instill in the younger generation a sense of patriotism, mutual support, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging to the fate of the Fatherland," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Dmitry Chernyshenko added that the media perform a vital educational function – educating the younger generation, instilling traditional spiritual and moral values, popularizing the role of family, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
"War correspondents play a special role today. They remain on the front lines and, risking their lives every day, report on the exploits of our soldiers in the special military operation zone. This is truly heroic work," he noted.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the media sector is dynamically changing alongside the development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, with new, in-demand content emerging, internet projects launching, and social media actively developing.
Traditional newspapers and magazines remain popular and in demand, especially among residents of small towns.
"There are currently over 52,000 registered media outlets in our country, and the Russian government continues to regularly support them. In 2025, funding was allocated for the implementation of approximately 1,700 socially significant projects in priority areas of state policy," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister thanked the journalists for their dedication to their profession, which has become their true calling and life's work. He wished them good health, prosperity, inspiration, creative achievement, and a steady growth of their devoted audience.
