WASHINGTON — SDI Media, a California-based provider of dubbing, subtitling and translation services to the global entertainment industry, announced this week that it was expanding into Russia.
SDI Media Russia, a joint venture with the Moscow-based media company New Media, will be majority owned and operated by SDI.
"With a strong and experienced local partner in New Media — a very successful company that specializes in developing content and materials for television content owners serving Russian cable and satellite markets — SDI can now provide a complete Russian solution to clients locally and worldwide," SDI said in a press release.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.

Remind me later.
