How do we
cover the news?

Interfax's mission is to make you the first to know about all the key events in politics and the economy.

We report not only what is happening right now but help you to understand what is going to happen tomorrow.

We reported on the very beginnings of present-day Russia and have been directly involved in all key historic events. We have created a new format of political and economic news.

The quality of our work has been tested by time.

Interfax relies on high quality standards. Our correspondents and editors constantly enhance their skills. Our relationship with our subscribers also makes us better.

We always attend every important event in which the country's leaders, prominent politicians and businessmen take part.

We work with companies' primary data, we talk with decision-makers.

We create and use state-of-the-art online monitoring and fact-checking systems.

Our reporters work all over the country, as well as countries of the former Soviet Union. We cover all important events where they happen and receive information straight from the source.

We live and breathe the market

We were the first in Russia to create a special newswire for stock market traders.

We track all events and factors that influence stock quotations in real time.
