Freedom of speech on TV and radio

It is necessary to recognize, that a television announcement – the most mass. For today it reflects a life of a society in all its displays. Broadcasting somewhere is lower a step than TV, but also it is not less important. Private radio stations which occurrence has led to qualitatively new situation in radio ether promptly develop. Radio – it is accessible, conveniently and free-of-charge! Not a secret, that in connection with social and economic problems, the few presume to buy newspapers to themselves. If earlier we observed mass campaigns in cinemas, theatres and libraries, unfortunately, for today such cases are individual. It is possible to tell with confidence, that the TV and radio has replaced to us if not everything, so much … They are not only main, but also unique for a significant part of the Azerbaijan audience means of satisfaction of information and cultural needs, purchases of knowledge, the organizations of leisure. TV channels prophesying from Baku keep access practically too all regions of Azerbaijan and remain in this sense a core of information space. Disputes around a question – What is more important, TV or printed press? – do not calm down long years. There are advantages at each of this mass media. But if, despite of difficulties, TV and radio are accessible enough to Azerbaijan’s, then newspapers have practically lost the once universal scope of the population.
It is necessary to note, that the information by radio is transferred each hour, and this fact testifies that there are not present equal in efficiency and dynamism to radio. The main character of modern broadcasting – conducting (the DJ, the showman), therefore his professional qualities, individuality are very important.
Whether the freedom of speech in these electronic mass-media is kept? The TV has huge authority, in the certain degree operating people, and probably, therefore it is considered the important strategic object. Today only small part of telecast is transferred in records, the majority of transfers we look on the air. Not already speaking about information releases on all channels, such transfers as «Nezer Nogtesi», “Xeberdar”, «Ich Xeber» (ANS), «Sedadan Sonra» (Lider), “Nebz”, “PS” (SPACE) have information-analytical character and directly contact to the spectator. The spectator has an opportunity to receive the answer to a question interesting him on the air. On radio all radiocast leave on the air and at an audience of students more chances to ask questions, to express the opinion on a considered theme. Whether there is a freedom of speech on TV and radio?
