News 24 is the first Albanian 24-hour news television channel, founded in 2002 in Tirana, Albania, by Italian journalist Carlo Bollino and former shareholder of Gazeta Shqiptare newspaper, Radio Rash, and Balkanweb portal.

[1] The channel's format resembles its Italian equivalent Rai News24.

The news is updated every minute.

[2][3] The portal was established in February 2000 by the Italian publishing company Edisud[4] (e.g. La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno) with funding from the Soros Foundation.

[5][1] Balkanweb's videos come almost exclusively from 'News 24'.
