The New York Times and The Guardian included on list of the most anti-Russian media

The Russian Institute of Strategic Studies (RISS) recently published a report “Foreign Media in 2015: The Anti-Russian Vector.” The report cites the leading mass media organizations from around the world—from countries such as the UK, the United States, Germany and France—that are most aggressively anti-Russian. A correspondent from Meduza attended the presentation of the RISS report.

In the report, the authors develop an “Aggression Index,” which is calculated by dividing the number of “negative” articles on Russia against the number of “neutral material.” Among media organizations to rank most highly in the Aggression Index include Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung from Germany, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal from the US, The Guardian, The Financial Times and the BBC from the UK, and Le Monde and Le Figaro from France.

The report ranks the countries producing the most anti-Russian as the Czech Republic, followed by Poland, Germany, Ukraine and the United States.
