Tajik Newspapers Online

Tajikistan has a developing media landscape serving 10 million people in the poorest and most mountainous of the Central Asian republics, a country of breathtaking Pamir highland scenery bordering Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Tajikistan's press publishes primarily in Tajik (closely related to Persian/Farsi) and Russian, reflecting the country's bilingual heritage as part of the former Soviet Union.

Radio Ozodi (RFE/RL) and BBC Tajik are the most trusted independent Tajik-language sources. Asia-Plus is the leading independent Russian and English portal. Khovar is the official national news agency publishing bilingually. The official TFF covers Tajikistan's national football team — a rapidly improving side in Asian competition.
