Feature Story
About
Chai Khana is a media outlet focused on reality that is often more complex than it appears in the news. Through in-depth reporting, photo stories, and opinion pieces, we explore the social, political, and cultural changes shaping Georgia and help audiences understand important developments from multiple perspectives.
Founded in 2015 as a visual multimedia platform, Chai Khana spent more than a decade telling stories from across the South Caucasus — Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. This approach allowed Chai Khana to develop a distinctive editorial voice and embrace diverse forms of storytelling. Our articles, photo stories, and documentary films have reached thousands of readers and viewers throughout the region.
Over time, Chai Khana has evolved into a media outlet focused on Georgia, with a unique place in the country's media landscape. We strive to uphold the values and standards of traditional journalism while keeping pace with the digital trends that shape audience behavior in an era of technological transformation.
Chai Khana remains committed to the values of truth, independence, and coexistence.
