Media in Afghanistan
Media was a new phenomenon in the years when the Taliban was ousted from power (2001-2021). But due to poor literacy and less culture of reading in Afghanistan, print-media is limited to urban areas. Radio is the only media source for the majority rural population in far-flung areas of the country.

Daily Afghanistan mostly goes to embassies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, public places, educational institutions and other organizations. Both papers go to most provinces. A limited number of copies also go to Pakistan and Dubai. Many independent newspapers are emerging in Afghanistan.
