Meduza is an independent Russian-language digital media outlet founded in 2014 and currently headquartered in Riga, Latvia, after moving its operations abroad due to censorship in Russia. It focuses on news, investigative reporting, politics, and social issues, delivering content that is largely inaccessible within Russia because of government restrictions. The platform combines breaking news, in-depth investigations, and analytical features, often tackling stories that expose corruption, human rights violations, and abuses of power. Meduza is known for its fast-paced reporting and ability to explain complex political and social developments in clear, accessible language for a wide Russian-speaking audience. Meduza operates with full editorial independence, funded primarily through subscriptions, reader support, and grants, avoiding reliance on advertising or political influence. This model allows it to pursue investigative work without compromise and maintain credibility with its readers. Over the years, Meduza has grown into one of the most influential Russian-language independent news outlets, providing millions of readers with reliable information, accountability journalism, and coverage of stories that would otherwise remain hidden in Russia.
