He spoke to the Press Day
In the wave of independence gained in the 90s of the last century, an independent press was also created. With the collapse of the totalitarian regime, journalism was given arms and wings. Examples of independent press began to emerge one after the other. A society starved of freedom of speech mandatory was also freed from the subscription pledge. Now he could buy the newspaper he wanted wherever he wanted: either from kiosks or from hand-held broadcasts that were affordable for everyone at that time.
Although the censorship imposed in 1993 was a blow to freedom of speech, it was independent newspapers increased and continued its publication. Most of them do not receive any support from the state newspapers he maintained the editorship due to high circulation and sales. 50-10With a circulation of 0 thousand newspapers was coming out. This process continued until the end of the century. At the end of the century, another process began – the process of taking over existing newspapers by the authorities. The sale was more successful than expected. As a result, the state opened its arms to the already privatized press. At first, it is not transparent, i.e., the support realized by the conversion method is a newly created institution – President In addition, the disability of the State Support Fund for Mass Media “became transparent”. When this support started, neither those newspapers nor that circulation existed anymore. To his own strength 20– Newspapers with a circulation of 30,000 were reduced to 3-5,000 with the support of the state. Although it has been repeated many times, let us remind you once again that the fund was created until it died 10More than 0 million manat budget funds (the same amount of funds transferred by envelope) were spent on “strengthening the material and technical base of newspapers” and “increasing the professionalism of journalists”. The material and technical base did not increase, nor did the professionalism, the circulation did not increase at all, on the contrary, it decreased even more, the circulation of newspapers decreased…
100 million have been spent, 13 years have passed since the establishment of the Media DF, and at every event, the improvement of the professionalism of journalists is still being discussed and projects are being implemented. However, professionalism does not increase. Moreover, journalists are considered guilty in the increasing number of suicide cases in the country…
The institution created as a continuation of the tradition of “national leader’s care for the media” and “his worthy successor” – KIV Fund of the day a joint line was drawn with its leader.
Now the name of that institution has been changed to Media Agency, but its work is the same as before: giving money to newspapers and websites that they bought years ago. Yapcı who made a statement to AZERTAC today – July 22, on Press Day deputy Hikmet Babaoglu says that the creation of MEDIA Agency national forms a completely new stage in our press history: “… Every developing society needs developed strong institutions. Azerbaijan as it develops and becomes stronger, either internally information in the context of exchange, as well as in the context of international relations and foreign policy, we needed a new and powerful media institution that keeps up with the most modern challenges. Those calls are relevant today and will be relevant tomorrow. The creation of MEDIA was born out of this necessity.”
The same words were said at the conference “Deepening Media Reforms: Towards New Goals” held in Baku on July 21. Also, these words were said by people who used to be in the KIVDF and praised the “reforms” of this institution in the media. Now they work deeper; like the media reforms…
Apparently, Vusnow They have learned from the fate of Safarli, they have chosen new goals, and goals that work deeply. Now, professional training for journalists is not held at the International Press Center, but at the ADA University… Again, our budget will suffer…
Do not go too deep, take into account that you are in danger of sinking together with the press you sink…
