Summary/Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to describe and contextualise the key stories that circulate in the broadcast and online media, shaping Georgian public discourse. We analyse the Georgian information domain, including the patterns of information flows and their content, media, and messages. This analysis is conducted through the lens of Russia’s strategic interests and influence activities in Georgia. The ongoing hybrid war waged by Russia against Georgia includes information attacks and disinformation, which is identified in official documents of the Georgian government as the one of the main threats to national security. We analyse the power and extent of Russian intervention within the Georgian information domain.
