RIA Novosti is a Russian state news agency headquartered in Moscow, publishing in Russian, with roots in 1941. In our feed Russia comes first, followed by the United States, Ukraine, Iran and China. Politics makes up about three fifths of the output, with diplomacy alone about half of it, then military affairs and governance. Its headlines are consistently favourable toward Russia and its leadership and skeptical to neutral toward the United States.
Over the whole period RIA Novosti's headlines are consistently favourable toward Russia and its leadership. Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov and Dmitry Medvedev are quoted as authoritative voices, with verbs such as "stated" and no distancing. The United States is covered neutrally to skeptically, and Ukraine's leadership skeptically. The largest shift concerns Donald Trump, who is treated as a credible and authoritative counterpart through spring, neutrally since early summer and skeptically by late summer. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from February 2026 to August 2026.
RIA Novosti has roots in 1941 and is headquartered in Moscow. It is owned by Rossiya Segodnya, a state-owned media group, and operates as a unitary enterprise.
