Topic: Ogonyok


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times
For the past year, Ogonyok has been under the editorial guidance of Viktor Loshak, longtime editor of Moskovskiye Novosti and the 2002 winner of the best editor award from the Union of Journalists.
Loshak was a natural to head Ogonyok: He was esteemed and well-connected, and brought with him a talented team of writers and editors.
In one year alone, Ogonyok's readership grew nationally from 236,900 to 362,000, and almost tripled in Moscow, according to a recent tally by TNS Gallup Media.

 Letters to Ogonyok
Nowadays, the market in sensations is so competitive that Ogonyok's reporting is less distinctive, but in the first years of glasnost, the magazine was often the target of abuse from hard-liners and resistance from the party, which was officially the publisher.
In July 1990, staff members announced plans to establish Ogonyok as legally independent, although it continued to be printed by the party publishing house on a contract basis.
Ogonyok's letters column continued to be one of the country's best&emdash;a weekly cri de coeur from the cogs in the Soviet machine.

At Ogonyok, when we changed in 1987, instead of receiving 20 letters a day as we had in 1985, we were receiving around 1,000 letters a day.
Ogonyok’s new editor in chief came to me to tell me what is going on - that now maybe 30 percent of the new publications will die in the beginning of next year because of the costs; people at Ogonyok are fighting not to die themselves.
Sometimes I even have the impression that democracy is something for well-fed people because in my country, when people are hungry and I ask them whether they want good newspapers or good sausages, I am afraid that many of them would answer that they prefer sausages even though the press is working hard.

 "Soviet Weekly Predicts 20 Million AIDS Infections by the Year 2000"
The weekly Soviet magazine Ogonyok, as part of an AIDS information campaign, has predicted 20 million Soviets with HIV infections by the year 2000 caused by shortages of condoms and hypodermic needles.
Paul Sato, a physician and medical epidemiologist with the World Health Organization, has called the prediction "a little high," but "that doesn't mean the forecast is unreasonable." Sato agrees that potential for HIV infection is large in the Soviet Union.
The editors of Ogonyok claim their apocalyptic forecast is based on the fact that the Soviet medical establishment contributes to the epidemic.

 "A Soviet Tragedy: Shortages Help Spread AIDS"
The editors of the Soviet weekly Ogonyok have begun a campaign to elicit donations of money and medical supplies from abroad, because of the pathetically backward state of Soviet medicine.
Ogonyok predicts 20 million HIV infections by the year 2000, which Fortune says is "surely exaggerated." However, the apocalyptic forecast" is based on the fact of shortages.
Two billion syringes are required to treat children alone, and the Soviet Ministry of Public Health will receive perhaps 650 million this year.

 ISCIP - Perspective
Despite the apparent boom in the number of publications and the continuous change and disarray in the market, journalists themselves are not really free: Individual publications are tightly controlled.
For instance at Ogonyok, the magazine that I edited in the 1980s and early '90s, most employees work under renewable two-month contracts.
The well-publicized cases, such as the murder of editor Vadim Biryukov, who had worked for a business-oriented journal in Moscow, and the removal of Igor Golembiowski from Izvestia, testify to a general insecurity in the profession.
