	The St. Petersburg Times - News - Izvestia Still Without An Editor
		MOSCOW - The delay in appointing a replacement for Izvestia editor Raf Shakirov, who resigned after criticism of the newspaper's coverage of the Beslan crisis, is likely due to a dearth of candidates who are qualified and loyal to the Kremlin, lawmakers and analysts said.
		Izvestia publisher Prof-Media, which is owned by billionaire Vladimir Potanin, said after Shakirov's resignation on Sept. 6 that it would find a new editor within a week, but almost a month later an interim editor, Vladimir Borodin, is still running the daily.
		Izvestia held a general shareholders meeting Tuesday to discuss the appointment, a newspaper spokeswoman said.

	Russia: Izvestia changes its design and redefines its "values" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Until its redesign, Izvestia avoided the assembly line approach and relied on “traditional” journalism, which presupposes a degree of independence and creativity on the part of the author.
		However, the return of the editorial column to Izvestia must be viewed in the context of the newspaper’s quasi-official position.
		Izvestia was initially hostile to the October Revolution, but continued to publish as the central organ of the Soviet government, as distinct from Pravda, the organ of the Communist Party.

		When Interros deputy director and Prof-Media chairman Rafael Akopov was asked to explain to the public the changing of the guard at Izvestia, his comments had the whiff of a CEO addressing a shareholders' meeting.
		You'd expect the owner of a newspaper like Izvestia to adopt a slightly loftier tone, to talk about the interests of his readers and the standards of his journalists.
