Kurdistan24 describes television, radio and web publication for Kurdish-speaking audiences, with Sorani and Kurmanji explicitly distinguished. Its website also lists several language destinations. Keep the actual programme, medium and language together: a website’s English, Arabic or Farsi section does not establish an identical full television edition in that language.
The institution describes more than a channel
The official About page identifies a network spanning television, radio and the web. Its stated audience is Kurdish-speaking viewers and readers across the region. It separately discusses broadcast languages and a website available in Kurdish, English, Turkish, Arabic and Farsi.
These are different publication contexts. A written English report, a Kurdish television discussion and an audio bulletin can all be legitimate network items without being equivalent editions of one programme. Preserve the format shown by the selected entry.
Start with the language the viewer needs
Ask for Sorani or Kurmanji when that distinction is relevant, rather than replacing both with a single broad Kurdish label. Keep the original title and script if available. Translated headlines and alternative spellings can help explain a subject but may not identify the complete programme.
| Viewing need | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|
| A current television bulletin | Programme language and edition date |
| A written report | Website-language section and item URL |
| A radio programme | Audio identity and date |
| A studio discussion | Programme, guest and actual video language |
Validate a programme before relying on its branding
For a current event, check the timestamp attached to the actual report. For a discussion, compare the guest and subject. For an older feature, retain the original programme date separately from a later upload. A familiar logo identifies the network, while those details establish the item.
For planned live viewing, inspect the current service’s programme information. For a missed edition, look for its own official entry and verify what the entry contains. The About page explains media and language identities; it does not establish a complete archive, every route’s available tracks or identical access through other television services. Its editorial aspirations are not presented here as an independent assessment of its reporting.
