Afghanistan has one of the world's most challenging and courageous media landscapes, serving 40 million people across a country with extraordinary linguistic and cultural diversity. Afghan journalism operates primarily in two languages — Pashto and Dari (a dialect of Persian) — reflecting the country's two dominant ethnic communities. Despite immense obstacles since the 2021 Taliban takeover, Afghan journalists continue to serve their compatriots with remarkable courage both inside the country and from exile.

The most watched Afghan TV station is TOLOnews — Afghanistan's first 24/7 news channel. Pajhwok Afghan News is the largest independent agency, publishing in Pashto, Dari and English. BBC Pashto and VOA Pashto/Dari are among the most trusted independent sources. Afghanistan International provides major analysis from an international newsroom. Khaama Press is the leading English-language portal. Radio Azadi (RFE/RL) provides crucial independent coverage.
