International Center for Retraining Journalists

The Center for Retraining Journalists of Uzbekistan (CPJ) was established in 1997, recently the Center has celebrated its 20th anniversary. That this was the time of the emergence of new media in Uzbekistan after the country gained independence. Of course, then it was difficult to move away from the old, familiar Soviet approaches and stereotypes in the press, journalists were under great pressure from censorship and self-censorship, they could not immediately abandon traditional forms and established cliches in the content of materials, and their access to public meaningful information.  The press, radio and television were in fact active agents of leadership policy. Thus, the authorities and the media turned out to be on one side, and society on the other.

All these problems required consistent and deep training in new approaches and skills, deepening political and legal education, and studying international best practices. It was for these purposes that the CPJ was then created as the first non-governmental public organization in the country to improve the skills of workers in the domestic media of Uzbekistan. During the period of independence, the model of complete state control over the media has already begun to change into a model of independence from the state and cooperation with power structures. And this also demanded the development of a new way of thinking of journalists and the promotion of liberalization ideas in society through mass media channels, and the building of a strong civil society. In accordance with the demand of the time, the role of the media in society, the educational program of our Center was built.
