Mass media in Afghanistan

The mass media in Afghanistan is monitored by the Ministry of Information and Culture, and includes broadcasting, digital and printing. It is mainly in Dari and Pashto, the official languages of the nation. Prior to the return of the Islamic Emirate in 2021, Afghanistan had over 107 TV stations and 284 radio stations, including 100s of print media and over 1,800 online media outlets. The number of digital media outlets is steadily increasing again with the help of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and other such online platforms. Islamic Emirate's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has emphasized that the media should be in line with Sharia and Afghanistan's national interests.
