MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN GEORGIA

Publishing in the South Caucasus has transitioned from a historic state-run model to an independent, privately owned press market dominated by weekly and daily print editions. Major national publications include Rezonansi, an independent Georgian-language daily founded in 1992, and Kviris Palitra, a widely read privately owned weekly. English-language readers are primarily served by The Messenger, the leading English daily, and Georgia Today, a prominent weekly established in 2000. Beyond the capital of Tbilisi, regional markets sustain smaller circulations, with minority-language editions available for readers in Russian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani.
