Dmitry Muratov, a co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, is chief editor of Novaya gazeta, a Russian newspaper that has repeatedly exposed corruption at the highest levels of government in the decades since its launch. The Nobel Committee described it as the "most independent newspaper in Russia today," and underlined Muratov's work to "safeguard media freedom" in his country.
