What sites are really media?
Each country has its own legislation governing the activities of the media. This article will focus only on the Russian.
The Russian legislation is based on the law of the Russian Federation “On the Mass Media” (on the Mass Media) of December 27, 1991 N 2124-1. Since 1991, it has been amended, including regulating the distribution of mass media on the Internet.
Online publishing is the only form of media distribution using the site. I would like to tell about this and the difference between the Information Agency and the Network Publication in this article.
I will not speak about the registration procedure, there is enough information available .

According to the Russian legislation, the site registered as the media is called the Network Edition (registered before 11.11.2011 - electronic periodical). More precisely, it is not a name, but a form of distribution. The site can become a network publication only at the request of its owner (read the domain name administrator), who must act as the founder (as a member of the co-founders) of the Network publication or transfer the rights to this to another person in accordance with the Civil Code. Online edition can contain content of any format (text, images, audio, video).
The site can not be registered as a radio channel, TV channel or news agency. The form of media distribution is related to the physical environment, not content, and the TV channel and radio channel are completely different forms of media distribution. If the owner of the site based on audio-video content wishes to make media out of it, then the Network Edition will have to be registered. An information agency is not a form of media distribution, but by virtue of art. 22 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Mass Media”, the status of the mass media is applied to it, and the registering authority, when issuing a certificate of mass media registration, lists the “Information Agency” in the form of distribution. Why so, a completely different story. Information agency materials can be distributed in any way, including through the site. At the same time, the site does not automatically become a web-based publication. For this you need the appropriate registration.
If on the Internet you meet a site on which an information agency is indicated in the footer and the details of the registration certificate of the media are listed, this site misleads you. This entry only indicates that the site owners are related to the specified information agency, and, perhaps, the site is distributed materials of this information agency. This site may be distributed materials and other news agencies, as well as their own site materials. If the site is distributed only materials of one information agency, and its founder wants to report about it, the inscription in the footer (or other place) of the site should be something like: "The site is distributed only the materials of the information agency" Name ".
Information Agency is in a sense a convenient form of media registration for webmasters. The status of the media allows the editors to enjoy the benefits of legislation in the field of media, on the other hand, not to disclose information about themselves and the site when disseminating information through the site. But I’ll clarify that only the editorial board, not the site, uses such benefits as a means of disseminating information. For example, such a site will not be subject to immunity from the registry of prohibited sites .
