Independent Media
Introduction
In Mongolia independent Media is a reality over the
last transitional years but media is not able to be
a 4th estate and cannot play a role of public watch
-dog. If journalists are not permitted to provide the
public with information of their interests, democracy
cannot be a real. Journalists are not isolated in the
society. They are in cooperation defending their own
rights. They are there to defend rights of citizens.
Media freedom is a not only journalists right, the first
it is a right for all citizens. That is why journalists
have to work with other organizations in the civil society
in order to promote a better democracy. The informed
citizenship that is aware of the need for media freedom
is the best protection for media freedom.
