History
The change of ownership at NTV was followed by a redesign of the news site which remained with the former NTV owner Vladimir Gusinsky.[3][4]
In April 2001 the TV channel became part of OAO Gazprom Media.[5][6]
In October 2002 the news site moved to another domain name, NEWSru.com[7][8] and the original domain ntv.ru has been transferred to the broadcasting company under the mutual arrangement.
Projects
Besides the basic site, the NEWSru service owns a number of special interest news sites.
Among defunct projects is 2004.newsru.com, devoted in due time to Russian presidential election, 2004.[9]
