Armenia media guide
- Published
TV remains the most popular source of information, though not among the young.
Facebook and Telegram are the main platforms for political discussion. Online media are largely free and are growing in influence, especially among the young.
However, some internet freedoms have declined significantly as a result of restrictions on the free flow of information adopted by the Armenian government during the 2020 Karabakh war with Azerbaijan.
A lack of financial independence, professionalism and ownership transparency remain substantial challenges for most media outlets. Newspaper circulations are low.
There were 2.2 million internet users by July 2022, comprising 77% of the population (Worldinternetstats.com).
