Circassian Congress of Adygea published first issue of its newspaper

ADYGEA, 24 February, Caucasus Times. Circassian Congress of Adygea published first issue of its newspaper “Circassian Congress”. Circulation of the first issue of this newspaper was one thousand copies. Ali Berzegov, head of press service of Circassian Congress, is at the head of editorial board of the newspaper.

Earlier Circassian Congress of Adygea and Karachaevo-Cherkessia launched a joint issue of interregional newspaper under the same title. This newspaper has a circulation of one thousand copies and is distributed in the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachaevo-Cherkessia, Adygea as well as in the villages of Shapsugia region in the Black Sea coast.

However, leaders of Circassian Congress of Adygea explain the necessity to have their own newspaper by the fact that part of circulation set aside for Adygea is insignificant. Moreover, monthly periodicity of the newspaper cannot satisfy the needs of the readers as well as of the the members of Circassian Congress of Adygea.

Leaders of Circassian Congress are planning to create common pool of information resources which can be used by the local editorial offices for putting together their publications.

We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
