325789: TRUE. PRAVDA as a news outlet underwent DRASTIC changes several years ago and has developed a new, more respected reputation among global journalists who are willing to look beyond a greatly checkered history.

Pravda.ru has the advantage of a few seasoned members of its old reporting staff with new leadership and a more refined sensibility for reporting the truth [even about local Russian events] - in fact, Pravda's new credo was to avoid the errors their name still implies.

I've always admired their gusty approach to reporting on nearly anything of interest.
