News media is an essential mouthpiece of a country’s politics, economy and diplomacy, which, as a special symbol of social culture, records social reforms and grasps the context of national development. In the process of information dissemination, the Russian government builds the mainstream media by strengthening media control and integrating national resources and maintains the political rule of those in power by making use of the mutual shaping of politics and news media. The Russian news media plays an increasingly significant role in Russian political life, realising its social control function through public opinion guidance, agenda-setting and supervision towards the government.
