Bright, charismatic broadcaster NTV Alexei Pivovarov went to the channel STS. The radical decision was fostered by the background connected with high-profile dialogues to protect the journalist’s honor of their colleagues and attempts to reach the public’s consciousness with the thought of the need to end total censorship and maintain freedom of speech. However, first things first.
The path to journalism
The ability to sparkle writing, the desire to cover events without veiling their secular etiquette, the ability to be honest and truthful prompted Alexei Pivovarov to graduate from journalism and in the 90s began his career on All-Union Radio, and then on the maximum radio channel.
His reports as a host gathered their interested audience and were distinguished by the accuracy of statements addressed to representatives of those in power.
Alexey Pivovarov on television
Since 1993, an already established journalist is trying his hand at a new field - a television channel. The first place of his working biography in front of the camera was the NTV channel. Here, the work in the program “The other day” as a correspondent was replaced by the role of the presenter in other programs of the channel. In 2005, Alexey broadcasts news in the Today program and works in it until 2008. Then Pivovarov successfully manages NTV evening news programs until October 2013.
Why Alexey Pivovarov leaves NTV
The official and convenient version for reducing the vigilance of the channel’s viewers was expressed by the journalist in the form of summarizing his work on NTV. Say, I have achieved, friends, working on the channel, a lot. The high steps of the career ladder are associated with the rating of our programs and the audience’s feedback on the work of popular programs. The layman was imbued with the speech of Alexei and blessed him to storm new heights in other forms.
A more discerning viewer saw in Pivovarov’s departure a hidden protest against the existing censorship system on the channel. Excuses about the allegedly accomplished mission and the desire to realize oneself behind the scenes in the production field cause deep doubt and skepticism.
Free will or forced castling?
Nevertheless, the journalist’s departure was already discussed in private conversation with NTV Director General Vladimir Kulistikov, who did not hide his joy over parting with the scandalous Pivovarov and approved the wording of Alexey’s departure proposed by himself.
At the same time, the general director commented on the dismissal of the shocking fighter for freedom of speech with mean remarks of regret. According to him, NTV had a unique opportunity to work with such bright people as Alexey Pivovarov. And the stupid saying that there are no irreplaceable people has no right to exist.
Vladimir Kulistikov admitted that he is always ready to meet his colleagues if their dismissal entails career growth. At the same time, it was said that Pivovarov gave his consent to the role of the unofficial adviser to the director for the implementation of his own creative ideas in the projects of NTV documentary and information programs.
Who was looking for the truth Alexey Pivovarov?
Several reasons that pushed the television journalist into a frank dialogue with Dmitry Medvedev did not justify a risky conversation. The boiling annoyance at the harsh censorship of journalistic thought, the desire to stand up for colleagues who left the channel sooner or later had to turn into one big question. What for?
During a confidential conversation, Aleksey Pivovarov held on as he did on air, tried to find the correct wording of the question, barely restraining himself from impatience to speak about everything at once. The key thought was the dream of journalistic freedom. Behind the word “we,” in Alexei’s speech stood fellow television journalist fired from work or about to leave NTV.
Pivovarov tried to inform President Medvedev about the unhealthy situation in the circles of the channel, about the "recommendations" that had not taken place on the air separate stories of "Central Television". Over time, bans turned into a system and jeopardized the quality of television material produced by the team. From such pressure the weak in spirit demoralized, and restless ones like Pivovarov waited for dismissal “of their own free will”. Moreover, he already had one “puncture” when he had to stand up for Leonid Parfenov, who was fired .
Another channel - new perspectives
Where is Alexey Pivovarov now? This question is asked by the audience, imbued with respect for the unbending journalist. STS channel became the next place of work of Alexey. Director General Vyacheslav Murugov came to Pivovarov with a proposal to work on the direction of development of TV in the merger with the Internet. A promising idea has long interested Alexei, and he accepted it without hesitation. In addition, since 2012, the TV journalist has been developing a project for the documentary and journalistic genre “Term” and the documentary epic “Reality”. At STS, Pivovarov, along with his fellow colleagues, was about to continue developing projects in the hope of forging a channel key from Reality.
