So, Vitaly Sych, who headed the editorial office for more than 10 years weekly magazine"Correspondent" headed a new media project. The first issue, 66 pages of which we have already flipped through, goes on sale on May 16 through the Press network of newsstands and the Soyuzpechat agency. The impression is good. Good because of the quality of work of the people who prepared the publication. And those who wrote and edited, and those who were involved in design and layout, and those who printed. In general, the first pancake is not lumpy. It is clear that the guys carefully prepared the premiere.

In terms of the nature of the materials and print format, “New Time” is in many ways reminiscent of the team’s first creation. Although there is certainly no complete identity. However, those who are familiar with “Correspondent” and shared the views and approaches to writing materials from its previous edition will find quite a lot in common.

Editorial, topic of the issue, as can be seen from the illustration, is dedicated to the most pressing issue of the last month - the situation in Donbass. Author, famous economist Alexander Paskhover, addressed the question of how Putin, with the help of ex-President of Ukraine Yanukovych, is shaking up the conflict in Donbass. I was hooked by the unbiased analysis done by this very tolerant and observant person. To be honest, in the tense atmosphere of an overheated information field, I often lack balanced material from the hottest point of the last month. I’ll also mention a few publications that immediately caught my attention.

IN section "Week"Elena Geda publishes an interview with Alexander Usik. The magazine's correspondent's first questions to the boxer from Simferopol were devoted to Crimea and the difficulties that Alexander faced after the annexation of the peninsula. In the same section, the magazine collected the opinions of famous people in Ukraine, how much for them Crimean peninsula is lost in terms of personal recreation.

IN section "Country" in addition to Paskhover's article, included on the front cover, materials were published in Odessa after May 2 and, twists and turns presidential election races in Ukraine. About Odessa, it was again important for me to find out the impressions of a person with an unclouded look. The opinions of Odessa residents, of course, are also very important, especially since the author often refers to them. But I wanted to hear impressions from the outside. And thanks for that Anastasia Bereza.

IN section "People"Maxim Butchenko publishes a kind of confession Vladimir Klitschko about what has happened recently. And sports. And Maidan. About brother. About how what was happening in the country forced us to take up social activities. About the relationship with Hayden, of course, and about much more.

Finally, I would like to say a few words to the magazine staff from our editors. Thank you for your honest work. I wish further fruitful work and a strong rear, as well as long years of life for “New Time” in a happy country. Congratulations to you, colleagues.

This news can be formulated differently. The printing house that printed The New Times magazine cannot continue printing it, but does not want to. And you can formulate it again in a different way. It’s not that the printing house can’t or doesn’t want to, but it can no longer print such a magazine. The magazine has “zero debt” before the printing press, as Evgenia Albats says. And it is right. Because we understand that if the independent press has even three kopecks of debt, this is a reason. Three kopecks for the printing house or three kopecks for utilities and rent, three kopecks for the security guard on the first floor at the entrance to the editorial office. Doesn't matter! This is a reason to paralyze your work. But if there is no reason, then you can basically do without it. No debts - well, no need! We'll close your shop just like that.

We will eventually say that we ran out of paper, the paint dried up, the typesetter and his friend the printer got drunk, the computers froze, the lights went out. If you need to find an excuse not to do something, we have no equal here, here we are world champions. One can, of course, say that to hell with this printing house, in the end, it will lose a good order and good money and sooner or later it will fold. Because the media are moving away from paper and moving to the Internet, and that this is a reason to start living in in electronic format. But we already had illustrative examples when, in exactly the same way, without any good reason, “Grani”, “Yozh”, and Kasparov’s website were blocked. The question is not in what form an independent press will exist. The question is that it cannot exist in our country in any form. We are always told in response: what about Novaya Gazeta, and what about Ekho Moskvy? But not so long ago, people in this group confidently asked: what about RBC, what about Kommersant, and what about Lenta.ru?

A list of these “but what about?” It's getting shorter. The New Times magazine is still included in this list and, I knock on wood three times, I hope it will be included. But we see how easily everything can be changed. Here the shareholder suddenly changed his point of view, and along with it the management and composition of the editorial board changed. The concept has changed here, the financing has changed there. There was something here that the supervisory authorities didn’t like. And now the printing house “can’t.” In each specific case there will be some particular reason. And no one will directly say, let’s say, that you shouldn’t have scolded Sobyanin. Or: we have elections here, and you are disturbing us. Or: don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong with your investigations. Don’t discuss Putin and his family, don’t discuss the president’s friends, leave Shuvalov, his dogs, apartments and planes alone. No, nothing like that will be said. They will tell you about a change in concept, about three kopecks of debt, or they will simply say that they can no longer print your magazine. But the thing is that the problems of the magazine, websites, radio or TV channel “Dozhd” are primarily your problems, dear friends.

Your window into the world of free information is being sealed up more and more every day. And the old days come back to you. Old Times, so to speak.

E. Albats:

Unfortunately, I must inform the readers of the magazine that on Monday The New Times magazine will not reach newsstands, will not reach stores, and will not reach subscribers. Because today the printing house “Pushkinskaya Ploshchad”, which has been printing the magazine for eight years, and to which we have zero debts, again zero debts, announced that it will not be able to print the next issue. The New Times magazine is typed using software installed by our Pushkinskaya Ploshchad printing house on the night from Friday to Saturday, the circulation is printed on Saturday, and on Sunday, and on Sunday and Monday it is delivered to kiosks. However, suddenly, completely unexpectedly, the printing house said that it did not have the opportunity to print the magazine. So that our readers understand, the Pushkinskaya Ploshchad printing house is the product of two Moscow printing houses: Almaz-press and Pushkinskaya Ploshchad, they not only have no capacity, but they were forced to lay off great amount people, because, as you know, many magazines have stopped publishing. We are one of the last Russian magazines, which is published not in Finland, not in Poland, but precisely in Moscow, in Russia. This is about workload and so on.
I can't, I've been trying to call since this morning general director printing house Mr. Zaitseva, to his deputy Mr. Bakov, they are all terribly busy, not one of them can talk to me. My employee went to the printing house, where she was told that they did not want to sign the contract and would not be able to print the magazine.

The New Times magazine is one of the few that are alive and well today -cancer-te-ra. What do you consider important for yourself when participating in its development?

It was important for me that when I wrote a little, he fully responded to my I imagined about the spirit of time. Fi-lip-p Dzyad-ko, the former editor of “Bol-sho-go Go-ro-da,” and I were invited to announce the zhur - cash I made a ma-ket, helped him get it out, and since February I have no intention of releasing those new ones. measures Now the head designer there is Ivan Ste-pa-nen-ko.

The New Times and Big City are quite different journals, as are their audiences. How would you find and feel that visual language that you need? How long did it take to re-design?

By the time Philip and I left “Big Go-ro-da,” we were close to the desire to seize- behind the cobblestones, and he was just lying in The New Times. So everything went very smoothly and on time. The re-design took, apparently, two months. The fi-zi-che-ga-ba-ri-you from-yes remained the same - the work went inside. In front of us, there was a simple flock to update the journal. Make it more convenient for reading and editing, and make it so that it speaks the language of today. com. Vi-di-mo, our departure from “Bol-sho-go-go-ro-da” coincided with the desire of the head of the re-dak-to-ra Ev-ge-niy Al -bang, joining the NT is exactly what Philip and I can do. Bo-nus - spiritual orchestras in the edition for holidays.

The image of the journal in a strong degree is formed by its ac-ci-dent font Carmela. There's some kind of ana-logia with the title font of the New Yorker magazine (Irvin Type font, by Rea Irvin, 1925): there is a general manner in plastic elements and some other details. Is he specially designed for the journal?

I think you think it’s possible to compare them because you see they have approximately the same time -men-nye roots. Both of these fonts are somehow related to the aesthetics of modernity. In my case, in the Spanish graphics of the re-in-lu-tsi-on-the-thirties. And her legs are just like that from modern times.

The Carmela font is an ex-tra-va-gant geo-met-ri-che-sky gro-tesque, from-sy-la-yu-schy to the esthe-ti-ke of mo-der-na and the spirit of is -pan-sky re-vo-lu-tsi-on-noy graph-fi-ki of the 30s. Created in 2012 by Yuri Ostro-ments-kim. The font consists of three styles: narrow, wide and stenciled. Publicly, it is not for sale.

In 2011–2012, I got a thrill from the Spanish plaque from the Civil War. I had the feeling that this coincided with what was in the air. I started writing my thoughts in “Big City”, made a couple of fonts, and when I left it, I started writing -Vat Kar-me-lu. When I drew it, I thought that it was important not to make a sti-li-za-tion of the re-creation of the graphic, but , turning back almost a hundred years, passing through myself and looking around, to say something today -no, something that’s on the tips of my fingers. Fi-lip-p and I were called as a co-man-du with an already well-established in-t-on-qi-ey, and we just pro-dol-zha-li go -to speak the way we knew how. And what we want to say in NT has become convenient to say with Kar-meloy. So he became the voice of The New Times. By the way, the font has two more stylistic elements, which are not used in journals, but the font itself is still I'm still at work. And that’s why he calls it that way...

Why the hell are you working on the ma-ke? When will the basic information, typesetting and key fonts appear?

I scratch my head for a while, look around the street, at the horizon-umbrella, and then I sit down and draw on-bro- the juice is ma-ke-ta, then I consider the net-ku, and everything, magically, is almost always perfect, but it goes together with it. This, obviously, is immoral. Re-doing for me is the most painful, unpleasant, difficult, and so on. It seems like I’m working quite quickly, the in-nation appears on its own, just like at the time -go-to-re - either you-have-to-talk-to-talk-with-a-person, or-bye-bye . That's why William was chosen right away and immediately stood up perfectly. On the contrary with Circe and Carmela, as well as for-we-moose.

The words of the “image” and “conception” level appear later, when there is no way around it. Either it’s easy and straight away, or it takes a long time to add something and clarify it, but then neither “image” nor “conception” help.

I have the feeling that the Engraved style of the William font does not have its place in the journal, you are its own asi-stem element. In my opinion, this is done in order to emphasize the structural work of the journal. How important is it to notice and who cares, at what time does he go?

Without a doubt, it doesn’t matter where he is, even if he doesn’t know about it. But in general, the entire magazine is built on strong contrasts. Whatever the day. He’s awkward, aesthetically speaking, he’s kind of a “freak.” He tells inconvenient stories. And just like the content, its appearance requires a lot of effort. Not in the sense of convenience, ra-zu-me-et-sya, but precisely in the sense of esthe-ti-che-comfort ta.

Let's go, a person picks up a journal for the first time. He quickly brushes it all over. From the beginning or from the end is not the point. This first time he should easily understand that the magazine consists of, let's say, three blocks: news, fi-che-rov and ras-pi-sa-niy. The reader should be able to easily understand where something is from the first time: where about “to read”, and where about “quickly run-to-read” “Xia” and so on.

About the meeting of the re-di-zai-na chi-ta-te-la-mi, I always hear about the same thing: one-on-the-lo-vi- the chi-ta-te-lei loudly goes out, and the other ru-sweeps. New ones are not coming to replace the first one.

There is also an in-na-tsi-on-naya so-sta-la-yu-shchaya. In this conventional zhur-na-le, with a hundred what is a certain topic in fi-che-ry (ma-te-ri-a-ly, as pra-vi-lo, in se-re-di-not no-me-ra, specially made for specific -th release: re-port-ta-zhi, inter-view, investigation, etc. - Ed.), and not, for example, in newness. If the interaction with the op-po-zi-tsi-o-ne-rum N is not in the news, but in the fi-chers, this fact itself is already a lot of talk -rit about zhur-na-le as a so-be-sed-ni-ke. And this story is more important than everything else. The editorial office should give the opportunity to read as much as possible, but it is easy to consider the weight of the information and its information on tion.

Unfortunately, it is necessary to admit that the average reader is go-from: on the one hand, believes that everything is purchased, but on the other hand, it is not possible to distinguish the advertising module from the content. For some reason, he successfully sends complaints about this very re-clam.

Sad news from the world of Russian independent media - after 10 years of work, The New Times magazine is closing.

Freedom of speech is shrinking like shagreen leather

It’s a shame that the field of independent information continues to shrink

It's a pity.
Thanks to Evgenia Albats for having such a magazine.

I can't believe this is true. I worked at this magazine for 8 years!

There are so many things connected with this magazine that now I feel like my tooth has fallen out. Front.

There will be no more paper NT. I would like to write some sad, funny, dangerous, idiotic, instructive, but not boring story, because there were so many of them, these stories, that... I won’t write history, NT is history itself. Country, journalism and my little life. Sad.

Near Bessarabka on Khreshchatyk there is a courtyard in which for many years there was a restaurant serving Ukrainian cuisine, and now a craft beer bar. We were sitting in that restaurant on a warm October evening when they called from Moscow and told us the news: Anna Politkovskaya had been killed. Then there was an interview with Irena Stefanovna" Novaya Gazeta", in which she said that there were worse times, but it was unlikely that they were meaner. Then it became known that she acquired “New Time” and would relaunch it with Raf Shakirov and Zhenya Albats. Then at a debate led by one novice blogger, Zhenya invited me to participate in this project. Then there were 5 years of evenings in the editorial office on Tverskoy Boulevard. And now New Times has released last number and this makes me very sad.

I found the very first issue of New Times ten years ago in the school cafeteria.
Then I bought it quite often - probably most often only the Russian Newsweek, so where is it now?
Then, in 2010, it was in New Times that my photograph was first published in print - ridiculous, and even stolen from LiveJournal, but I didn’t think about that then, but thought about the fact that this was an achievement, a holiday and an inspiration.
Then I began to sometimes work with the magazine, and despite all the difficulties, I sometimes shoot very interesting orders.
And in the summer of 2013, my camera was stolen - on the flash drive there were uncopied photographs of the morning shooting of a round table in the editorial office of the magazine, and the shame in front of Evgenia Albats was stronger than the feeling of loss due to the purchase of a new camera.
Each new publication is a great experience of self-assessment in terms of unusual requirements and a new context in which your photographs stand, and the first and not the first pages in New Times taught me a lot.
Then it was in the magazine that I met Olya Osipova and Ivan Stepanenko, without whom my books would not have existed.
Then it was in the magazine that I was advised to find a “visitors” bureau in Texas, without which the trip to Abilene would not have been possible.
I’m not writing here about the investigations of Barabanov or Morar, about the columns of Oleg Navalny or Saprykin - you’ve read all this and know it without me. It’s just that New Times, although it was difficult with him, had the same influence on almost all the journalists you know.
It's a shame that it will no longer be in print. I hope this is temporary. Or that something new will grow.

I remember how in the spring of 2011, after a conversation with the editor-in-chief of The New Times magazine Evgenia Albats, I, very inspired and pleased, looked into the office of the politics department where I was to work.
There sat a shaggy guy with glasses, who first looked carefully at my very inspired and satisfied face, then chuckled and silently put down the ashtray. Then I did not yet know that Yegor Mostovshchikov is almost the entire political department of The New Times magazine (plus the editor - Ilya Barabanov). That we will write a lot of materials about Putin and one material about Putin’s Botox. That the editors will traditionally argue how long I can hold out. That I will last 3.5 years. And during these 3.5 years I myself have more than once become the entire political department of The New Times magazine. And this, perhaps, was the main feature of the editorial office: in it, each person could, even in one day, be completely different sizes.

P.s. I am very sorry that the print version of the magazine is being closed. But the site remains, and this is a little consoling. There is a theory among the magazine's employees that The New Times will work as long as two conditions are met: 1. there is at least one person on staff; 2. this person is Evgenia Markovna. After all, she is The New Times.

Evgenia Albats, hold on. You are stronger than any circumstances. And all of us, really.

The New Times is a huge part of my life. I came to the magazine at the very beginning - at the stage of its creation and preparation of the first issue. At that time, there was also a large online editorial office, which was in many ways ahead of its time - they were preparing streams from mass events, there was a large share of videos and there was a rich website.

But it was the paper version of The New Times that kept up everything and maintained its quality. So much has happened over the years. And mask shows with security forces in the editorial office, and nights at the airport trying to get to Natasha Morar, who was being expelled from the country, and a bookmark found under Zhenya Albats’ car, and Barabanov, who was hidden in some apartments after another investigation, and a cool interview with his family Luzhkov after his resignation, which crashed the publication’s website (and there were hundreds of such interesting interviews!), and dozens of investigations, and live broadcasts of Novodvorskaya...

Thanks to Evgenia Albats for the quality, for the convictions and for the humanity.

Now in Russia it will become simpler, another complex seal disappears, there is even less freedom to be different. I worked at the magazine for 8 months and gained an experience that I never expected in my fifties. thanks to the editor-in-chief, thanks to those with whom I shared this time.

With the cessation of publication of The New Times, socio-political magazines have ended in Russia, only Ogonyok still flickers somewhere far away.

And although Evgenia Albats herself clearly stated the reason - “the money ran out” - it is clear that the state made every effort to do this. From restrictions on advertising market to pressure on the printing house. From Roskomnadzor to Russian Post.

Dealing with magazines is easier than dealing with a crisis.

But these kind, sympathetic words coexist online with outright gloating.

One of the most popular liberal publications, The New Times, is closing its paper version.

Either the market is to blame, it refused to include those who like to spend money on offices. Either the people are not like that again, they are damned fascists, they don’t honor the multinational publication and don’t even read it.

Antonio Gramsci probably shed a few tears.

Another liberal magazine has been closed.

They sarcastically write that for some reason the market’s guardians are not friends with the market. It's right. I'm afraid publishers don't even understand the problem.

In market terms, Ekho Moskvy, for example, does not compete with Vesti FM at all. Because they have different audiences. Ekho Moskvy competes with Novaya Gazeta.

There were too many liberal publications. They were all too monotonous. The same authors, goals, style. Why are there so many of them? They love different business mottos, such as “be different or die,” but they don’t want to be different from each other. We have to die in accordance with the slogan.

The decrease in the audience and its fragmentation have led to the fact that many liberal media began to switch to paid subscriptions. Thus, aggravating your situation. Because their opponents used to read them too. But reading your opponents also costs not so little money? No, excuse me.

The liberal office plankton makes a hard living, it’s not bad in Moscow, but Dozhdi can’t handle everything.

Moreover, the most serious blow to the liberal press was dealt by the Ukrainian press. General radicalization requires tough language. Where are they tougher? Russians are forced to look at the law. Ukrainians are allowed literally everything in relation to Russia and the Kremlin. You can call for hanging, talk about genetic inferiority, curse - whatever you want. Well, everything else is approximately the same as that of our dear liberals. Plus - it's free. As much as you want. And the authors are the same: Muzhdabaev, Ganapolsky are published here, and Sytin, for example, is published there.

Funny. People who advocated for cheap migrant workers are, in fact, suffering from them. Although they are unlikely to realize this.

There is only one road - to federal channels for gladiator fights. But there isn’t enough room for everyone there either.

The overproduction of liberal thought is decimating their ranks. But they will blame everything on censorship.

The editor-in-chief of The New Times magazine, Evgenia Albats, said that the magazine is closing, “only the website will remain.” Moreover, judging by the fact that the subscription button on the site has stopped working (it just takes you to the main page), the site will remain in the sense of an archive, and not as an online publication. Why does this news excite us?

Firstly, because The New Times (like, for example, Republic) is a political magazine that works on a strict subscription model, that is, in some way comparable to Sputnik and Pogrom. There are few publications in Russia that use a strict paywall model (when the best content is only for money, and news/short texts are free) in Russia, and we closely monitor them.

Secondly, because of the attendance figures of The New Times: having an AUDIENCE FOUR TIMES SMALLER than ours, Evgenia Markovna maintained a solid editorial staff, sent correspondents on business trips, and rented an office. I think the office rent alone was more than our entire monthly budget. We work four times better, but we have money... I think half of the editorial staff receives less than Evgenia Markovna spends on manicures per month.

And thirdly, because the example of The New Times will most likely soon be cited as evidence of the ineffectiveness of the subscription model in Russia, like people don’t want to pay money. Although from the comparative statistics shown on the screen it is clearly clear that the Albats publication was deeply subsidized (who subsidized it? I don’t even know who could subsidize the publication of a member of the Public Council of the Russian Jewish Congress...), and, obviously, Albats’ sponsors have run out of desire give money. That is, this is not a failure of the subscription model, but a failure of the model of a subsidized political publication that defends the interests of multinational Russians (for example, the legendary Crimean Tatar nationalist Aidar Muzhdabaev has already expressed his grief over the closure).
