FW: Deceased Russian Journalists, a bilingual online database

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

I am forwarding the following message from John Crowfoot

Best Wishes,

This is the up-to-date version of the database, so far as its woeful
contents are concerned.
 
If you do have a moment, please take a look - especially if you haven't seen
it recently. There have been changes to presentation and, of course, some
developments in investigating recent deaths. There have also been five
homicides so far in this year alone - two in Russia, two in Dagestan and one
in the Kaliningrad enclave.

We are about to overhaul the home page, since it attracts frequent visitors
but many of them do not seem to exploit the resource to the full. Please, if
you have suggestions about adding instructions, removing ambiguities, etc
etc, now is the time to let me know.
 
I shall be presenting this database in Russia, yet again, on 16-17 June in
Moscow. 
 
On that occasion we shall also outline the contents and purpose of the
companion database on Media Conflicts in Russia, to be launched this autumn
(it covers physical assaults on journalists, attacks through the courts,
disruption to media broadcasting & distribution, and much else).
 
John Crowfoot
