Join us to discover OC Media
Corporate partner
Do you care about supporting independent journalism in the Caucasus? Then we are in this together. OC Media aspires to be the most definitive, trusted, and influential go-to source on the Caucasus for fact-checked information and in-depth analysis. But we can't do it alone — consider a membership starting at just $5/month or $50/year and enjoy exclusive perks.
Not a fan of long-term commitments? No worries, we understand. Although, be aware that your one-time donations are also highly appreciated.
Why a membership programme?
In 2017, unhappy with the media environment in the Caucasus, Mariam Nikuradze and Dominik K Cagara embarked on a journey to establish OC Media. Their aim was to create a progressive, pro-peace voice — a media organisation that would report the underreported and give voice to the voiceless. A couple of mistakes and some experimenting later, we are proud to say that we’re doing just that.
But independent journalism costs money, and we believe in fair compensation and just working conditions for our small team.
That’s why we need your support — to survive in the climate we operate, and most importantly, to keep our frontline reporting free for all.
Independent journalism in this region is under constant attack and we’re only as strong as our members make us.
