ABSTRACT
In recent years, scholarly attention to ethnic media and ethnic journalism has increased. Attempts have been made to draw a line between ethnic, local, diaspora and community media (Matsaganis, Katz, & Ball-Rokeach, 2011); to study ethnic news media in a broad digitalisation context (Jamil, 2020) and to track current development trends of ethnic media in specific regions of the world, including the Global South (Gladkova, & Jamil, 2021). However, in a large number of cases academic attention has been so far centred primarily around ethnic journalism in Europe (Arnold, & Schneider, 2007) or North America (Yu, 2018). Russia so far remains relatively underexplored when it comes to the analysis of ethnic journalism and ethnic media, with several studies outlining the current state of play in the Russian ethnic media (Gladkova, & Vartanova, 2021) or digging deeper into ethnic journalists’ professional practices and routines (Gladkova, & Mkrtycheva, 2021).
