Today, representatives of the Academy of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan, led by the Rector, visited the University of Journalism and Mass Communications of Uzbekistan. During the meeting, the participants discussed issues related to the professional coverage of judicial activities in the media, as well as expanding cooperation between the fields of education, law, and media.

As part of the meeting, the participants were introduced to the university’s material and technical facilities, media studios, and the organization of the educational process. As a result of the discussions, an agreement was reached to launch a specialized training course in “Judicial Journalism” for university students.

According to the plan, 30 selected students will undergo training under the guidance of professors of the Academy of Justice, practicing judges, and media experts. The course will provide them with knowledge and practical skills related to the legal aspects of covering court proceedings, journalism standards, professional ethics, and the observance of the presumption of innocence.

During the meeting, the university’s rector Sherzodxon Kudratkhoja proposed establishing specialized classrooms and practical training halls on the university campus designed to replicate the environment of court proceedings. The leadership of the Academy expressed its readiness to support this initiative.
