Editorial policy

EWDN is shaped by a single goal – to inform the international business community about Russian IT industries in an objective and reliable manner.

EWDN is a finely tuned combination of news materials, professional analysis, market data and in-depth studies. The content is produced by the EWDN team and its network of expert contributors. Content is also provided by partnering media and industry players or based on selected extracts from the Russian or international press.

To the greatest extent possible, facts, statements and citations reported from EWDN sources are double-checked with alternative media sources or directly with the people or organizations concerned.

Although EWDN provides current, relevant and insightful industry news on a daily basis, it is not itself a provider of breaking real time news. In our position as a market insider and aggregator, we select, verify and translate information from reliable local Russian sources, adding value in cross referencing for clarity and accuracy. In the energetic Russian markets, being a trustworthy resource of information and data is even more important than being first to publish news. We aim to check the facts and fine-tune content to ensure the highest possible level of quality and reliability.

EWDN enjoys fully transparent relations with partnering media, contributors and companies. EWDN editorial independence is a non-negotiable condition in all matters pertaining to editorial or financial relations – be it advertising, sponsorship or investment.
