Founded in 2005 by the Russian government, RT (formerly known as Russia Today) has become a prominent, albeit controversial, player in the global news landscape. Currently operated by ANO TV-Novosti, an autonomous non-profit organization closely linked to the Russian state, it offers a diverse range of content, including breaking news, politics, international affairs, culture and arts, sports, and documentaries and investigative reports. RT is known for presenting alternative perspective often overlooked in Western media, promoting Russian interests, extensive digital reach, award winning documentaries, and being a lightning rod for controversy, facing accusations of bias, misinformation and propaganda, particularly in the context of geopolitical conflicts and Western Russian relations. It is headquartered in Moscow, Russia.
RT is ranked 99 among other media sources and has an average of 100,700,000 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
