Novaya Gazeta, a prominent independent newspaper in Russia, announced its closure due to increasing pressure from authorities. Editor-in-chief Sergei Sokolov stated that the editorial team was forced to shut down. The publication plans to release a final edition before ceasing operations on November 9. Founded in 1993, Novaya Gazeta gained a reputation for investigative journalism, exposing government corruption and human rights abuses. The closure follows the designation of the newspaper as a 'foreign agent' by the Russian Justice Ministry, amid ongoing censorship and threats against independent media.
