Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia published a new report - "Who owns regional media: TI Georgia releases a new report". Report looks at the ownership, operations and financing of local media outlets, which in many cities, towns and communities across the country play an important role in communicating and shaping local discussions and events. Their role will further increase as a result of the recent local self-governance reform which introduced direct election of mayors in 12 cities in the June 2014 elections.
