Independent news agency, established in 2017. However, Kaktus is the direct successor of the online news agency Zanoza, which was closed in 2017 after a defamation suit by ex-president Atambayev. Kaktus media covers political, economic and social news. Despite a low number of daily articles and news reports, it has many editorials and opinion pieces. Most of the content is neutral or presents critical views on government policies and actions. Despite that, it does not openly support one political opposition group.
