At the recent Media Forum held in Moldova, much was said about the need to improve media legislation and adopt a new Broadcasting Code. What provisions does the draft of the new code contain and when the document may reach the parliament? – These are the topics discussed in the 62nd edition of the “Media Azi” [Media Today] show by the journalist Nicolae Negru, host of the show, and his guest, expert Vasile State, director of the Electronic Press Association (APEL).

Participanții la cea de-a treia ediție a Forumului mass-media din Republica Moldova, care s-a desfăşurat la Chişinău în perioada 14-15 noiembrie 2017, au adoptat o Rezoluţie în care condamnă lipsa unor politici publice coerente de limitare a monopolurilor în domeniul mass-media și în domeniile conexe, ceea ce se răsfrânge negativ asupra calității informațiilor oferite consumatorilor de presă și permite utilizarea presei ca instrument de manipulare și propagandă.
