97 years ago, on 11 March 1912, the first issue of the Tajik newspaper Bukhoroi Sharif (Sacred Bukhara) came off the press.

Five Tajik journalists have received the national Lakhuti prize for their input in the development of Tajikistan’s media. The prestigious award is named after Abdulkosim Lakhuti, one of the founders of the contemporary Farsi-language literature.
