Today, an order from Roskomnadzor has appeared on the official Internet portal of legal information, which establishes requirements for distinctive signs for media representatives who are in places where public events (rallies, pickets and demonstrations) are held.
Now journalists are required to wear a badge indicating the data of the media they represent, their data, and must also wear reflective green vests with the words “press”. The order contains a detailed description of the specific dimensions of these attributes and reminds of the statutory duties of journalists who are present at rallies.
For example, representatives of the press are prohibited from participating in campaigning, using leaflets and posters, or helping organizers of public events.
