Polish journalism and its impact on the mass media of Uzbekistan

The monograph written in English presents a comparative study of the evolution and interaction of the Polish and Uzbek press. It explores how both countries, once influenced by Soviet ideology, developed distinct media systems after independence. The author analyzes Poland’s successful transition to democratic journalism within the European Union and compares it with Uzbekistan’s ongoing efforts to modernize its media in the context of national reforms and digital transformation. Using historical, comparative, and content analysis methods, the study highlights the role of Karakalpak journalism within Uzbekistan’s media landscape and offers insights into how Polish experience can help enhance professionalism, editorial independence, and efficiency in Uzbek mass media.
