Meronnia 24 (Mèronie 24) is a Meronnian state-owned international news network based in Senone. Its channels broadcast in Meronnian, Produese, Lunderfrausian, Jashnagari, Al-Khayman, and other languages are available regionally; for example Vaalser 24 is a service which translates broadcasts into Vaalse.

The service started in 1919. After the Meronnian government nationalized press outlets during the Olympic War, a unified news agency run at arms-length from the government was established, the Meronnian News Network (MNN). After the Olympic War, private press was re-legalized in 1925, though the Meronnian News Network was not privatized. The MNN rebranded to Meronnia 24 in 1952.

Originally controlling national newspapers and radio broadcasts, the network now operates international television channels, online broadcasting via the network's website and mobile app, and live streaming services, as well as continuing to maintain a regular magazine and national newspaper. Radio service was ended in 2008 but 24 Radio, an affiliate group which broadcasts the network's news via radio, was established in 2009 by popular demand, and with most of the previous radio infrastructure.

The stated mission of the network is to "provide a global public service and a common editorial stance".
