About News.MN

Major Daily Read with context

News.MN was launched in 2007 by Mongol Mass Media Group and sold in 2012 to News Agency LLC. News Agency LLC is owned by S. Temuulen, who also serves as Editor-in-Chief, and Boldbaatar Kh. There have been unproven anecdotal claims of significant investment from the former Mongolian President.

Mongolia's media environment is considered partly-free, with legal protections for press freedom but also challenges such as legal harassment of journalists, political influence, and financial pressures. While a controversial 'false information' law (Article 13.14) was recently ruled unconstitutional, it had been used to intimidate journalists. News.MN is a popular online news portal with a professional editorial staff. The inclusion of an opinion piece by a Chinese ambassador in its recent headlines suggests it publishes content from official sources. No specific bias assessment for News.MN from third-party media watchdogs is publicly available.
