During the international conference organized in Tashkent on “The
role of the mass media in ensuring dialogue between the state and
society at a new stage of development of Uzbekistan”, current issues of
strengthening the role of the mass media in improving state and public
construction were discussed.
The event was attended by members of the Senate and deputies of the
Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan,
representatives of ministries and departments, diplomatic corps and
international organizations, experts, managers, creative and technical
workers of TV and radio stations.
It was noted that under the leadership of the President of our country Shavkat Mirziyoyev, large-scale reforms are being implemented in all spheres of society. It was emphasized that the mass media are actively working in this process with the aim of bringing the essence and significance of reforms carried out in society to the public.
The mass media of our country strive to organize their activities in such a way as to widely cover up the changes taking place in society, in the life and worldview of people. Main attention is paid to the establishment of democratic principles on the basis of national customs and oriental traditions.
Despite this, in conditions when dialogue with people, constant
attention to their problems are raised to the rank of state policy, life
itself requires further enhancement of the importance of the mass media
as an open platform for free expression of will.
At the conference it was noted that the Action Strategy, developed at
the initiative of the President of our country Shavkat Mirziyoyev,
determined important areas for turning the mass media into a “fourth
power”, ensuring pluralism of opinions and views in the national media
space, transition of quantitative indicators of their activities to
qualitative ones.
During the event, measures and mechanisms of consistent implementation
of current tasks assigned by the President of our country to the mass
media in the process of bringing to the population the fundamental
changes taking place in the country, covering up the changes in people’s
life and worldview were discussed. Presentations were made on further
liberalization of the information sphere, as well as new methods of
ensuring economic independence of non-state television and radio studios
and issues of management of the digital media market.
Following the conference, recommendations were developed on the issues
