Open Steppe
An independent home for Central Asian journalism.
Open Steppe is building trusted, independent media for the region and the millions who have left it — across borders and generations.
Central Asia — five nations and a global diaspora of more than 75 million people — has long lacked a single, independent, trusted news destination. Open Steppe was founded to build one: digital platforms, television, and the editorial infrastructure to sustain serious journalism in a difficult environment.
Founded in London in 2026 by a team with experience across media, technology and international affairs.
