Over the past six months, many new and original media have appeared in Russia. Below Megamind lists a list of 10 new domestic media that deserve attention, according to the version of the publication "Iodine . "

1 arzamas

The main content of "Arzamas" - courses "on culture and man" - a selection of materials on history, literature, art, philosophy and so on. Arzamas is positioning itself as a non-commercial project - access to all materials on the site is completely free.

2 The Question

The Question is a service in which users can ask any questions and promptly receive competent answers to them. The founder of the project is Echo of Moscow and Dozhd journalist Tonya Samsonova.

3 Mediazone

The founders of "Mediazone" - participants of Pussy Riot Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, as well as their faithful companion Peter Verzilov. “Courts, prisons, arrests, sentences, riots in zones, political criminal cases, crimes in shoulder straps, the fate of prisoners,” according to Tolokonnikova, writes Mediazon.

4 " Open Russia "

The publication covers all those processes that excite the Russian society in our time. In addition to the publication of materials by professional journalists, Open Russia also works as a blogging platform.

5 Geektimes

Geektimes is one of two Habrahabr projects that have separated from the main site over the past few months. On Geektimes from a serious "Habra" (dedicated to programming, IT-market and the Internet economy in general) moved some non-core topics: games, gadgets, geek-culture, issues about Internet regulation, discussion of Roskomnadzor and IT-law.

6 " Megamind "

“Megamind” is another younger brother of “Habrakhabr”. The reason for separation - the transfer of non-core topics in a separate project. Megamozg positions itself as a project for IT managers and managers, who are interested not in the technical side of any project, but in marketing and organizational.

7 " Sigma "

The Sigma project, launched in November 2014, is an aggregator of cultural texts. According to the authors of the project, “Sigma” is “a platform for publishing texts about a person, cultural events and society”.

8 " Hedonist "

In our time, the emergence of new print media is already a precedent. The newspaper “Hedonist”, created by Gleb Neuman, looks like a men's magazine, but in this case, it balances somewhere on the verge of fashionable lifestyle and youth columnists. The “Hedonist” is also distributed locally and independently - the newspaper can be found in a few points in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnoyarsk.

9 The Challenger

A brand new lifestyle edition that appeared literally this month. The editors of The Challenger, led by Maria Commandna, position the publication as a website about health, raising topics like healthy nutrition and sports, from recipes of food and choosing sneakers to diets and exercise regimes.

10 " Last 30 "

The media project, which is scheduled to start on April 23 of this year, will be devoted to the “last 30” of post-Soviet Russia - a country that is no longer the Soviet Union, but also no other real Russia.
The name of the project is directly related to the date of its launch - April 23, 2015 will be exactly 30 years since Mikhail Gorbachev announced the course on Perestroika.
