Inside Global Media: Where Stories are Made

Before a story reaches the screen, it goes through dozens of decisions. For a month, InteRussia fellows from South Asian countries in Journalism stepped into this process — working in newsrooms and engaging with how global media operates.

Here’s how the program unfolded in practice

At the Sputnik studio, fellows followed editorial processes from the inside observing how stories are selected, shaped, and adapted for different audiences.

Fellows had the opportunity to speak with Maria Zakharova and Andrey Rudenko, as well as other representatives from the foreign policy and media sphere.

The program also included visits to major media platforms such as RT and TV BRICS. Fellows explored how international broadcasting works in practice.

Walking through Moscow and a visit to the ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre offered a different form of storytelling where expression is carried through movement, music, and visual composition.

By the end of the program, the experience brought together different aspects of journalism — from newsroom practice to public dialogue and cultural observation — showing how stories are shaped across spaces, formats, and perspectives.

And if you want to be part of this experience — just go for it.

The InteRussia fellowship in journalism for South Asia countries is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and the Sputnik International News Agency and Radio Broadcast Service with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
