Correspondence with Sputnik or RT
Dear University of Strathclyde,
Please treat this email as an FOI request.
1. Have people acting in an official capacity for Sputnik or RT made an approach to the university journalism or media school with an offer to meet with students, become involved in university teaching programmes, or support the university in any other way?
2. If so, please supply copies of all recorded communications, internal and external correspondence, project proposals, meeting minutes and briefing papers that the university may have received or hold in relation to Sputnik or RT working with the university.
I understand that you may need to redact some materials in order to mitigate against data protection concerns.
For the avoidance of doubt, here are the websites of the two organisations I refer to:
https://sputniknews.com/
https://www.rt.com/uk/
I look forwards to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Ally Tibbitt
