Raf Shakirov, the editor in chief of \"Izvestiya,\" announced on 6 September that he has submitted his resignation because of differences with the newspaper\'s owners over coverage of the events in Beslan, RIA-Novosti reported. Shakirov told RFE/RL\'s Russian Service that the management of ProfMedia, the media-holding company controlled by oligarch Vladimir Potanin\'s financial-industrial group Interros, reprimanded him for the 4 September issue of the newspaper devoted to the hostage drama in Beslan \"The management at ProfMedia and I disagreed about the format of presenting this material. It was considered too emotional and too poster-like, and [the publishers said] newspapers don\'t do that.\" The newspaper\'s executive secretary, Vladimir Borodin, will temporarily take his place, Shakirov said. Shakirov, who headed \"Izvestiya \" since November 2003, worked for various publications of the Kommersant publishing house from the early 1990s. Meanwhile, noted Marxist philosopher Sergei Kara-Mursa told RosBalt on 1 September that publishing photographs of terrorism victims should be banned as \"it induces horror and in so doing promotes the goals of terrorists.\" (RFE/RL)
