The State Duma proposed to establish a new state award for journalists working in the NWO zone

LDPR Chairman Leonid Slutsky has proposed to establish a state award in the form of a badge for journalists working in the combat zone. He said this during a meeting with war correspondents, where the results of the third season of the "Boris Maksudov School for Young War Correspondents" were summarized.

The corresponding letter will be sent to the presidential administration in the near future, the LDPR told Izvestia.

Slutsky recalled that journalists who distinguished themselves on the front lines are awarded the Order of Courage. In addition, the award "Honored Journalist of the Russian Federation" is usually presented to retirement.

"It turns out that there is no special award for war correspondents today. I suggest you from all of us, participants of the project, war correspondents, from LDPR, to appeal to the President with a proposal to establish a state award in the form of a badge for journalists who carried out professional activities in the territories where martial law is imposed, in areas of hostilities, armed conflicts and in the territories of the counterterrorist operation," - said the leader of LDPR.

He emphasized that military journalists are skillfully opposed to false, fake information, which clogs the information space.

Earlier, on April 22, it was reported that after the death of military correspondent of "Izvestia" Semyon Eremin on April 19, the State Duma and the Public Chamber proposed to equalize the rights of journalists in the zone of special military operation with the military. Andrei Alshevskikh, a member of the Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, told Izvestia that this measure would allow both war correspondents and their children to "feel the support and protection of the state".
