Turkmenistan has one of the world's most restricted media environments, serving 6 million people in a Central Asian nation blessed with vast natural gas reserves — the world's fourth largest — yet operating under one of the most tightly controlled information systems on Earth. Since independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Turkmenistan has maintained a closed political system, with all major media state-controlled and operating from the remarkable marble city of Ashgabat.

For independent news, Chronicles of Turkmenistan and Gundogar are exile-based outlets widely trusted internationally. Azathabar (RFE/RL) is the most trusted Turkmen-language independent service. VOA Turkmen provides international coverage. State media is led by TDH. The economy is dominated by Turkmengaz — the state gas company. The national football team is covered by the Football Federation TM.
