NewsLab Russia is the first phase of the NewsLab Eurasia project.
Russians overwhelmingly rely on television news as an information
source, yet relatively little is known about the content of Russian news. The NewsLab Russia archive contains stories from the Moscow prime-time news broadcast on Russia's three national television networks: Channel One, NTV, and Rossiya.

The initial NewsLab Russia archive encompasses nearly all such broadcasts for the twelve months beginning March 1, 2007, a period that includes but is not limited to the 2007 Duma and 2008 presidential campaigns. The archive may be extended at some point in the future. Archived broadcasts are available to any scholar possessing a high-speed internet connection and willing to abide by basic terms of use.
