The management of the media holding
News Media has decided to restart
Marker . It is planned to make a bet on the youth audience. The editor-in-chief of Izvestia,
Alexander Potapov, and his deputy,
Anastasia Kashevarova , will work on this.

“The chief has always focused us on digital, on the Internet, on the social network, on the youth. Unfortunately, this glade is empty. Business and socio-political media have become boring and tedious, one can say patterned. We all think that we need to focus on the "nerds" and "elite", but all have forgotten about the youth, "
