Since 2003, the collective Chto Delat has been publishing an eponymous newspaper. The newspaper is edited by Dmitry Vilensky in collaboration with the collective (till 2008 it was mainly co-edited by Vilensky and David Riff). The newspaper is bilingual (Russian/English), and appears roughly 2 – 5 issues a year. It varies between 16 and 32 pages (A3). Its editions (2,000- 10,000 copies) are distributed for free, as a take-away medium. Each newspaper addresses a theme or problem related to the current artistic production of the collective. Sometimes the newspaper is used as a form of intervention into concrete situations dictated by the urgencies of protests, intellectual provocations or comments.

The graphic politics of the newspaper are based on inviting one artist (often from the collective) who produces the whole set of images which conceptually contribute to the theme of publication.
