About us

T-Media is an independent, public interest media company in Kyrgyzstan. The TV channel launched in 2019 and quickly gained public trust through investigative journalism, fact-checking, and analytical reporting.

T-Media’s origins trace back to the Tairjan Tursunaliev Media School. This media school was established in 2016 with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and was aimed at developing quality and responsible journalism in Kyrgyzstan.

In 2018, the media school’s founders, trainers, and experienced journalists from Osh came together to establish T-Media, an independent news outlet pursuing no political or commercial interests and operating independently from the state.
