M100 board member Christoph Lanz about the M100 Media Award to Natalia Sindeeva

“In the midst of an almost exclusively state-controlled media landscape, Natalia Sindeeva has created an island of freedom of expression and diversity of opinion, which for years she has defended against all opposition and threats to her very existence. To support this outstanding achievement, we would like to present her with the M100 Media Award.”

Kai Diekmann, active and commited member of the M100 board, about the M100 Media Award to Natalia Sindeeva

“For seven years Natalia Sindeeva has been leading Doshd TV with remarkable perseverance through the imponderable depths of Russian politics and despite great resistance. Doshd TV is the only independent channel in Russia that reports on social, economic and political events that the state media outlets won’t touch – and to great success! The M100 Media Award recognises her extraordinary courage and should help shine a light on her impressive service.”
