About 24.kg
The specific private ownership structure of 24.kg is not publicly available through authoritative media analysis sources. However, the outlet operates within Kyrgyzstan's media environment, which is characterized by significant government pressure and restrictions on independent media.
24.kg operates in Kyrgyzstan, a country classified as 'not free' by Freedom House since 2021, with Reporters Without Borders (RSF) ranking it 144th out of 180 countries in its 2025 World Press Freedom Index. The media environment has seen an 'unprecedented crackdown' on free press, with new laws requiring mandatory government registration and allowing the blocking of websites. In January 2024, 24.kg's office was raided and its editors questioned under a 'Propaganda of War' investigation related to its reporting on the war in Ukraine, which staff viewed as retaliation for their 'independent position'. The criminal case was later suspended, but the general director stepped down. While no specific bias ratings from major international media watchdogs are available for 24.kg, its targeting by authorities suggests it strives for independent reporting within a highly restrictive and challenging environment.
