The Essay about comparison of journalistic potentials
It so happened that within about a day Sergei Sergeyevich read some materials published in "Meduza" and in "Novaya Gazeta".
All the materials are interesting...
Somehow by itself the thought came - and that if to look at them in comparison?
And whether there is a sense?
Such a comparison will inevitably be subjective...
First, it will be subjective because it is subjective.
Secondly, it is subjective as it was succeeded to read not so many materials, and they cannot be considered representative.
But, after all... As an experiment... The Essais ("Essays") by Michel de Montaigne ("What do I know?")
There are two materials which can be referred to category "Portraits" conditionally.
Sergei Sergeyevich liked the material about a former soldier, a man with a sense of self-respect and dignity. (Paul Merzlikin "Torture are present. Someone hangs himself, someone was hanged" Stanislav Zimovets served 2.5 years for the attack on the riot police during the rally "He's not Dimon." We talked to him. 16:01, 31 July 2019. Source: Meduza) (https://meduza.io/feature/2019/07/31/pytki-prisutstvuyut-kto-to-veshaetsya-kogo-to-veshayut).
The hero of material isn't bringing, isn't delivering some undertakings (studing, military service, etc.) to an understandable finish... But not about him is the speech.
Material is made well, qualitative photos.
Opposite to this material it is possible to put material about the municipal deputy. ("My world is not the apartment, it is the city, the country". A portrait of Anastasia Bryukhanova, the deputy of the Region of Shchukino whom do not allow to participate in elections to the Moscow City Duma. 18:44. August 01, 2019. Lilith Sargsyan, correspondent of department of policy). (https://www.novayagazeta.ru/articles/2019/08/01/81456-moy-mir-eto-ne-kvartira-eto-gorod-strana)
Or the girl, - the municipal deputy, - was not ready for a broad conversation, or - circumstances were such, - generally, the interview did not give a portrait of that depth, as in an interview with the former serviceman. Photos, as it seemed to Sergei Sergeyevich, weaker.
An interesting article by Leonid Nikitinskiy "A counts with a courts. The question of the legitimacy of the elections should be resolved by the representatives of the citizens - as follows from article 32 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation" (https://www.novayagazeta.ru/articles/2019/07/30/81429-sami-s-sudami). (Slightly reminiscent of Boris Vishnevsky "Comprehensive deportation. The authorities again want to evict residents without their consent" (https://www.novayagazeta.ru/articles/2019/07/13/81229-kompleksnaya-deportatsiya)).
Slightly timid Leonid Nikitinsky. He offers: ".. make an open count of the signatures submitted by Muscovites for the registration of all candidates in the municipal elections of 2019, with the participation of the Board formed by voters on the model of the jury ...".
Timidly, timidly...
It is necessary to raise a question of transfer of electoral cases to competence of the courts of jurors, and it is possible, about creation of special courts of jurors (special jury courts) for permission of electoral disputes.
As for "Meduza", as it seemed to Sergei Sergeyevich, theoretical reasonings not in style of this edition. However, an edition itself does not reasoning, a specific thinkers produce a reasoning.
A lack of such thinkers does not spoil "Meduza", and personally Sergei Sergeyevich to read theoretical reasonings is interesting. But not everyone has a penchant for such a reading.
Looked informative material about the "local diplomacy" and about the Diaspora, placed in Novaya Gazeta (https://www.novayagazeta.ru/articles/2019/07/28/81403-hozyain-chechentsev).
When "Golunov case" was making noise, Sergei Sergeevich read a number of materials in "Meduza", which can be put on a one level with the material about the "local diplomacy".
In the materials of "Meduza" were read just (recently) Sergei Sergeyevich did not meet similar analytical material.
Generally, if to compare, then what conclusion can be drawn?
"Yes, the journalism in the Russia has a potential!" - Sergei Sergeyevich came to a conclusion.
