Information resources of the PORA Expert Center have been recognized at two media competitions

Media projects of the Project Office for Arctic Development (PORA Expert Center) have received recognition at two professional competitions at once. GoArctic portal (goarctic.ru) became the winner of the «MediaLeader-2026» corporate media and media projects competition in the category «Best Telegram channel/MAX channel for external audience.» In addition, GoArctic entered the shortlist of the Zen «People of the Word» award in the categories «Public Agenda» and «National Projects.»

«The development of the Arctic is a long-term state priority, and our task as an expert center is to provide it with a reliable informational and analytical foundation. The online resource GoArctic works in this logic as a resource that reflects an objective picture of life in the macroregion, providing readers and viewers with verified, reliable knowledge about the Far North,» says Maksim Dankin, General Director of the PORA Expert Center and member of the Public Chamber of Russia.

«Recognition at two professional competitions confirms that high-quality, systematic work with the Arctic agenda is in demand both at the platform level and in the corporate media space. The Arctic topic covered by GoArctic has ceased to be niche—it has entered the public agenda and now largely determines the interest of mass audiences,» comments Pavel Sukhov, Deputy General Director for Information Policy of the PORA Expert Center.

«The editorial team of the GoArctic portal has been working for many years to bring together in one space current science, expertise, culture, and the everyday life of the northern territories—so that the reader sees the Arctic as a living, complex, and developing part of our country,» notes Igor Kuznetsov, Editor-in-Chief of GoArctic.

For reference:

«MediaLeader» is an annual competition of corporate media and media projects in which projects of companies, state and public organizations participate. The expert jury evaluates corporate publications, internet resources, social networks, Telegram channels, and other communication projects.

The Zen award recognizes authors and projects that create quality content on the platform. Its categories include thematic areas dedicated to socially significant agendas and the implementation of national projects.
