The role of mass media in the history of the period of independence

The article covers the role, formation, development and legal basis of mass media in the history of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the period of independence. The most important thing is that censorship was canceled. With the Prohibition of censorship, pressure on the media was taken. This constitutional rule is a legal guarantee of the truly free functioning of the mass media and unprecedented importance in the process of the renewal of society. In Uzbekistan, the granting of freedom of the mass media and the strengthening of this freedom in the legal sense is a process directly related to independence, and even open information was kept secret due to the fact that during the old regime-Soviet power, the system of administrative command and the cult of the individual found a firm decision. Nevertheless, the introduction of changes and additions to legal and normative documents in the process of development in this sphere is dictated by the times and the period itself.
