Kyrgyz Newspapers Online

Kyrgyzstan has one of Central Asia's most pluralistic media landscapes, often ranked as the most press-free country in the region. Serving 7 million people in a mountainous landlocked nation of spectacular scenery, Kyrgyzstan's press publishes in both Kyrgyz and Russian — reflecting the country's bilingual society and its position at the crossroads of Central Asian and post-Soviet cultures.

Azattyk (RFE/RL) is Kyrgyzstan's most trusted independent Kyrgyz-language outlet. Kloop is respected for investigative journalism. Vecherny Bishkek is the leading Russian daily. KTRK is the national public broadcaster. AKIpress is the leading bilingual news agency. The KFF covers Kyrgyzstan's national football team. The Kyrgyz Stock Exchange provides official market data.
