Steve Rosenberg has been the BBC’s correspondent in Moscow for over 30 years. Visiting France to receive the Bayeux Calvados-Normandie War Correspondents’ Prize, he gave an interview to RFI’s L’atelier des médias.
In this conversation, he describes his daily life as a foreign journalist in Russia as work comparable to a deep dive. This metaphor illustrates the increasing difficulties and risks he faces in an environment that is becoming more and more hostile to the media.
Despite these challenging conditions, Steve Rosenberg explains why he chooses to remain in Russia, demonstrating his commitment to directly covering events in the country.
