The manual was developed in five months. Professors and teachers of the University of Journalism and Mass Communications of Uzbekistan, the Uzbek State University of World Languages, the National University of Uzbekistan, as well as famous journalists of the republic took part in its creation.
The collection includes the following volumes: “Theory, history and development of journalism”, “Journalistic law and ethics”, “Media linguistics and editing”, “Media marketing and management”, “Genres and issues of mastery in the printed media”, “Audiovisual journalism”, “Online journalism and new media trends”, “PR services in the modern media sphere”, “Specialized journalism”, “Sociology and psychology of journalism”. Each volume is published in thousand copies.
According to Makhmudjon Parpiyev, a journalist, deputy chairman of the Senate Committee on Science, Education and Health, earlier there was no decent training manual for media workers in the country.
“This manual has filled the gap. It will become an important source of information not only for future journalists, but also for current ones,” Parpiyev said.
Earlier it became known that Uzbekistan, by June 1 this year, will develop and implement a unified national journalist certificate. The document is planned to be issued by the accredited Agency for Information and Mass Communications to the media staff at no cost.
