The State Information Agency (Russian: Государственное информационное агентство) better known by its abbreviation RES (Russian: РEC) is the State media agency of the South Ossetian government.

[1] The agency opened its website on April 7, 2003, which is one of the few free and readily available source of digital news in South Ossetia.

[1] The agency operated independently until August 9, 2016, when it was taken over by the Information and Press Committee of the Parliament of South Ossetia.

[1][3] Due to the government's direct control of the agency, its independence has been criticized, namely by the Freedom House for almost exclusively posting pro-government and pro-Russian stories and opinions.

[4] Despite this, the agency has occasionally been cited in Western Media such as Radio Free Europe as a reliable source for the opinions of the South Ossetian government.
