Tiflis24 is an independent online magazine dedicated to a task that is becoming increasingly uncomfortable in Georgia: critical journalism – free from party political, state or economic interests.
In a polarized, often intimidated media landscape, Tiflis24 relies on facts, context, and transparency. We report on political developments, social trends, and international issues – in an understandable, nuanced way, and with a touch of irony.
Our editorial team operates across borders – with headquarters in Hamburg and operational coordination in Tbilisi. Tiflis24 is funded exclusively by private means. We consciously avoid government subsidies that influence our content, non-transparent donations, and native advertising. This independence comes at a price—and that's precisely why we rely on institutional partnerships that share journalistic integrity and European values.
