[Presenter] The Russian media market is expanding rapidly and will be worth some 15bn dollars by 2014, a conference on the problems facing the mass media, publishers and printing industry in Moscow heard today. First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitriy Medvedev was there. He stressed that the burgeoning electronic media should not squeeze out the print media.
[Medvedev, addressing conference] Print subscriptions should not be wiped out by the new technology. In our traditionally minded, European-style country, the morning newspapers shouldn't be squeezed out by the Internet.
I have some difficulty imagining the older generation sitting down with a sandwich and cup of coffee in front of a computer to look at the morning paper. That's not our way of thinking, and here we should be mindful of our traditions.
