The number of daily newspapers in Azerbaijan has dropped to a quarter.
Medianews.az reports that by 2026, 10 daily newspapers were published in the country: “Azərbaycan”, “Xalq qəzeti”, “İki sahil”, “Yeni Azərbaycan”, “Yeni Müsavat”, “525-ci qəzet”, “Bakı xəbər”, “Səs”, “Şərq”, “Novoye vremya”.
Currently, only three of these newspapers (“Azərbaycan”, “Xalq qəzeti”, “Yeni Azərbaycan”) continue to be published as before, five times a week (every day except Sunday and Monday).
The Russian-language “Novoye vremya” has also not changed its frequency, and as usual, will appear four times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday).
The remaining newspapers (except for “Səs”, which will be published twice a week) have switched to weekly publication.
Thus, currently, there are three Azerbaijani-language and one Russian-language daily newspapers published in the country.
