RUSSIA: SUCCESSOR PUBLICATION TO 'NOVYE IZVESTIYA' TO APPEAR IN MAY.
Many of the staff of the now-defunct newspaper "Novye izvestiya" will work at a new daily called
"Rezonans" that will appear in May, "Gazeta" reported on 31 March. The last issue of "Novye
izvestiya" appeared at the end of February, and the new publication will have a new editor in chief, Valerii Yakov,
and a new sponsor, the Alyans group, which is headed by Musa Bazhaev. Yakov was deputy editor of "Novye
izvestiya." Former Editor in Chief Igor Golembiovskii will become the head of a new publishing group called
Mediapressa, which is owned by Yakov Soskin. Valerii Yakov told "Gazeta" the affair has ended with each party
getting what it wanted and that the journalists have only fond memories of former "Novye izvestiya" owner
Boris Berezovskii. Copyright (c) 2003. RFE/RL, Inc. Reprinted with the permission of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
