Abstract:

Purpose: The article aims to analyze the role of mass media in strengthening freedom of expression and supporting the development of democratic institutions in Uzbekistan. It focuses on how media acts as a strategic tool for effective communication between the state and society within a free and open information environment.

Research methodology: The study uses historical and logical analysis, synthesis, content analysis, systematic analysis, and observation. These methods are applied to explore the transformation of media functions, legislative support for media freedom, and institutional practices in Uzbekistan.

Results: The findings reveal that mass media significantly shape public consciousness, political awareness, and civic culture. The evolution of media functions—especially in the digital age—has made media a vital component of social and political development. The study highlights the necessity of institutional, legal, and economic frameworks to ensure the independence and effectiveness of media. It also underscores the importance of preventing manipulation and promoting balanced regulation between freedom of speech and digital security.
