Palitra News online - Television live
Palitra News Live Stream
Palitra News is a Georgian news channel broadcasting from Tbilisi, part of the Palitra Media group, covering the country's news and current affairs in Georgian.
Palitra Media
The channel belongs to one of Georgia's media companies, which also publishes online. Its grid runs on news editions, political talk and current-affairs programmes covering Georgia's politics, economy and society, produced by the group's Tbilisi newsroom.
A small market with strong politics
Georgia has about 3.7 million inhabitants and a handful of national channels, most of them owned by or aligned with political and business interests. A newsroom there works with modest advertising revenue and a public that follows politics closely, which makes studio discussion cheaper and more effective than field reporting.
Tbilisi and the regions
The capital holds the parliament, the government and almost all production capacity, and coverage of the regions depends on stringers. Stories from Samegrelo, Kakheti or the mountain districts reach national audiences unevenly.
Distribution
Palitra News broadcasts on Georgian networks and streams through its own platform, reaching the national audience and the diaspora in Russia, Turkey, Greece and the United States.
