Posted by Lauren Drablier on November 20, 2008 at 9:55 AM
According to the Associated Press, Russian prosecutors will "aggressively monitor" how the media covers and reports on the ongoing financial crisis.
The Prosecutor General's office ordered news organizations to be responsible and not to spread panic, the AP reported. The Russian media has been lacking in financial crisis coverage, this is due to the fact that most media outlets are government controlled or loyal to the Kremlin.
