What Gazeta.uz does

Gazeta.uz is an Uzbek internet news publication that has operated continuously since August 11, 2008, registered as a private limited liability company (OOO "Gazeta News") under Uzbekistan law. The core product is the gazeta.uz website, which publishes across five editorial sections — Politics, Economy, Society, Culture, and World — plus columns and advice content, available in Uzbek, Russian, and English. Supporting surfaces include a mobile app, RSS feeds, and official channels on Telegram, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X, with utility widgets for real-time air quality (IQAir data for Tashkent) and Central Bank currency exchange rates.

The business is built on a content-plus-advertising model. Editorial operations run from a single headquarters in Tashkent (Parkent ko'chasi, 26A) with roughly 23 employees and a stable founding team led by Azamat Atajanov (founder, Dustlik Order 2019), co-founder Suren Sapov, and editor-in-chief Davlat Umarov. Revenue is generated exclusively through advertising — banner placements (970x250, 300x500, mobile standard/splash, inpage video) priced per 1,000 impressions in UZS, plus one-off PR materials, Telegram posts, Instagram Lenta/Stories, and bundled SMM packages. All commercial advertising sales and client relationships are outsourced to Afisha Media, while cross-links with sister properties Afisha.uz, Spot.uz, and Zira.uz extend reach across entertainment, business, and culinary verticals. The trademark is registered in Uzbekistan (MGU 18444, 2008), and the outlet holds an Electronic Media Registration Certificate (No. 209073, January 19, 2024).
