ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE MASS MEDIA IN UZBEKISTAN DURING THE COVID-
19 PANDEMY
Dj. Sagatov
Abstract: The article highlights the activities of the mass media in the
Republic of Uzbekistan during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the
coverage of preventive measures during the pandemic, as well as the role of
the media in the implementation of online education in the school education
system. At the same time, the achievements in the field of media coverage of
preventive work against COVID-19 in the country were described.
Keywords: COVID-19, pandemic, prevention, mass media, emergency,
social networks, fake news, online school.
The mass media is a separate institution that provides full and objective
information about the political, economic and social processes taking place
in society, and serves as a reflection of the problems, achievements and
reforms between the state and society. One of the most pressing issues today
is the professionalism, competitiveness and image of the mass media
operating in the country in the process of collecting, analyzing and
disseminating information. Currently, the world is changing rapidly. Like all
industries, competition is fierce in terms of obtaining and transmitting
information and forming an influential public opinion. In such a complex
environment, life puts new demands and tasks [1]. As a result of the spread
of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, the growing trend of emergencies
in most parts of the world, preventive measures and socio-economic
problems are widely covered on global social networks and in the mass
media and attracts a large portion of the population. This is increasing the

population's need for information. In such a complex situation, if the media
does not fully, impartially and expeditiously inform the population about the
processes of emergencies in the country, the confidence of citizens in the
state, society and the media will decline. This, in turn, leads to mistrust
between the state and citizens, "alienation" and the spread of various false
"fake" messages among the population. The role of the media in preventing
such negative situations is important. As a result of the rapid spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic to many countries in a short period of time, many
countries remain in a whirlpool of economic and social problems. The
spread of COVID-19 has not bypassed the Republic of Uzbekistan. Our
government is working to prevent COVID-19 infection, which has not yet
reached pandemic level (the World Health Organization declared COVID-19
a pandemic on March 11, 2020) [2] much earlier, in January 2020, to
prevent, control and prevent the disease events, including videos, shows,
broadcasts, talk shows, debates on sanitary and hygienic rules for the fight
against the disease, disease prevention and preventive work in the mass
media, as well as the fight against pandemic by relevant organizations, press
conferences were organized on the ongoing activities. The arrival of the
COVID-19 pandemic in Uzbekistan has led to significant changes in the
activities of the mass media. Because in the recent history in our country
there have been no incidents related to cross-border emergencies, and our
media has gained a great deal of experience in covering the processes
associated with the pandemic. Cooperation has been established between
the Ministries of Health, Emergency Situations, Interior, Ministries of
Defense, the National Guard, local authorities and the mass media in the
implementation of pandemic response measures.
Therefore, today's media in their activities provide full coverage of the
origin of the disease, its sources, causes of its spread, social, economic
(number of patients, forecasts of unemployment, etc.) statistics, medical and
anti-COVID-19 pandemic in our country, information on preventive
measures, including sanitary-hygienic rules, symptoms of the disease, the
rules of disease control, the recommendations of the population by qualified
specialists. As a result of systematic cooperation between the mass media
and the responsible organizations, the spread of various false "fake"
messages was stopped due to the rapid, transparent and regular coverage of
the activities carried out by the government. For example, the establishment
of âKoronavirusinfouzâ channel on the Telegram social network, which is
used by a large part of the population to inform the general public about the
activities carried out in the context of the pandemic, and the fact that about
1.5 million people use the channel. The fact that people have all the
information about COVID-19 using it is positively assessed by experts from
the world's leading countries. For example, The Diplomat press published

âHow Is Central Asia Handling COVID-19?â on March 31, 2020, by Collin
Wood, a graduate student in political science at Columbia University says
that Uzbekistan's information policy is transparent about the disease, the
Ministry of Health has launched a separate telegram channel on COVID-19,
and its subscribers the success of Uzbekistan in the fight against the COVID-
19 pandemic should be an example to others, as the government provides
free services and facilities for the use of Internet and mobile communication
systems [3].
Despite the difficult situation during the pandemic, the process of
education in Uzbekistan has not stopped, but continued to operate as a new
system. For example, in the field of school education, the Ministry of Public
Education has launched the âOnline Schoolâ project, in cooperation with the
National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan, has launched online
classes from 1st grade to 11th grade. The Online School project was one of
the first in Uzbekistan within the Commonwealth of Independent States.
From April 22 to May 8 this year, the project covered 1,646 television
lessons, prepared more than 3,900 video lessons and broadcast them on
three TV channels and the Internet. The project was highly praised by the
World Bank and other organizations. We can present this project as one of
our major achievements in the field of online education in a pandemic
environment [4]. Through the "Online School" project, more than 9 million
pupils in the country were taught by enterprising, creative and qualified
teachers in a quality and interesting way. During the strong "wave" of the
COVID-19 pandemic in our country, the quality and fun of the new direction
of classes in the school education system by our government was warmly
welcomed by the general public.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the global spread of the COVID-19
pandemic has ushered in a new era in the world of information. Therefore,
in the Republic of Uzbekistan, as in any other country in the world, as a "test
period" in the life of the media in the complex conditions of the pandemic,
as a result of productive, honorable and hard work of journalists, our people
are covered in detail. However, it should be noted that today the problems
related to the activities of the media in our society are not fully resolved as
a result of regulations adopted by the government and the ongoing reforms
to create greater opportunities for the media.
At the same time, the ongoing reforms in the country allow the mass
media to cover the topic of emergencies, provide our citizens with open,
transparent and reasonable information about the causes, consequences
and preventive measures in this regard, its role in society will also increase.
It should also be noted that another important aspect of covering the topic
of emergencies is that citizens will also gain knowledge and skills on
awareness and protection of human life from emergencies.
