The South Ossetian mass media celebrate their professional holiday on July 23, which is associated with the publication of the first Ossetian newspaper “Iron Gazet” in 1906.
The publication, issued more than a century ago - on July 23 in Vladikavkaz, became the starting point for the development of national media.
The first circulation of “Iron Gazet” was 500 copies; readers could get acquainted with new publications on its pages twice a week.
National Media Day is celebrated in South Ossetia since July 23, 1996.
The state newspaper in the Ossetian language “Khurzærin” was issued in 1924.
Since then, journalism in the Republic has not ceased to develop, improving the forms of work, presenting information, providing readers with access to reliable information about the processes taking place in the country.
The period of work of the mass media during the years of the national liberation struggle of the Ossetian people for freedom and independence deserves special attention; it is difficult to overestimate the contribution of veteran journalists to defending the interests of the Republic during the time of the Georgian aggression against South Ossetia.
In modern realities, the media are increasingly focused on efficiency and expansion of platforms for posting information content.
Media pages on social networks successfully continue to gain subscribers, and the events taking place in the Republic are also observed by readers outside the Republic.
The main principle of work has remained unchanged for the mass media for many years - reliable presentation of news.
Today, media staff will be traditionally receiving words of congratulations from readers - the only connoisseurs and critics of journalistic work.
On this holiday, the state agency "Res" is wishing its colleagues the most positive emotions and positive news feeds, may the reward for your professionalism and unwavering dedication to your chosen work always be a grateful audience!
