Mass Media In Uzbekistan
Media in Uzbekistan is currently being censored to an extent. Although a government decree officially eliminated state censorship in 2002, it has continued to severely restrict independent journalism, particularly following the Andijan uprising of 2005. Licensing and regulation are controlled by the State Press Committee and the Inter-Agency Coordination Committee, which use their authority to harass, delay and obstruct the activities of independent media outlets. In late 2006, authorities further tightened state control by requiring re-registration by all media outlets not passing a summary review of qualifications. In 2005 some 30 to 40 independent television stations and seven independent radio stations were in operation, but four state-owned television stations, run by the Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan, dominated the market. No live programming is allowed. Total newspaper readership is estimated at only 50,000; the newspaper market is dominated by the state-o ...
