We're getting slightly conflicting tweets today about the situation in east Ukraine
We've already posted a tweet or two about a new media law that would prevent Russians from setting up TV stations in Ukraine (among other things). Here are a few more details:
The Ukrainian parliament has passed a law on media-ownership transparency, as well as on implementation of state policy in television and radio.
The law will oblige "subjects of information activity" to disclose their actual ownership structure and provide information about the ultimate company owner and beneficiary. A system to control the accuracy of this information will also be implemented. In addition, the law will forbid the establishment and operation of TV organizations whose members are registered in offshore havens or are citizens of Russia.
