The journalist Marina Owsyannikova, who became known for her protest on Russian television, now reports as a freelance correspondent for “Die Welt”. About a month ago, during a live broadcast, she held up a sign that read “Stop the War.” Ovsyannikova sees it as her task to stand up for freedom.
Now the journalist will both write for the newspaper and be regularly connected to the news channel “Welt”, German publisher Axel Springer said Monday. Marina Owsyannikova will report from Ukraine and Russia, among others. Your first message is already online.
“Marina Ovsyannikova at a decisive moment had the courage to confront viewers in Russia with an unadorned image of reality. In doing so, she defended the most important journalistic virtues – despite the threat of state repression,” said Ulf Poschardt, editor-in-chief of the “Welt” group and spokesman for the management of WeltN24-GmbH.

The 43-year-old journalist appeared behind the news anchor on March 14 during the news program “Vremya” on the Perwy Kanal channel, where she herself worked. She was holding a sign that read ‘Stop the war. Don’t believe the propaganda. You’re being lied to here’ in the camera. She also shouted “Stop the war!” before the live broadcast ended.
“I see it as my duty as a journalist to stand up for this freedom. I’m thrilled to be doing this for ‘Welt’,” Owshannikova said of her new role.
