Abstract

Information and the means of its dissemination are becoming increasingly important in the modern world. Since the final information product is capable of influencing socio-political processes, political forces prone to authoritarianism strive to monopolize the media space, using the regulatory framework and economic resources for this. At the international level, mostly in Western Europe, the legislative approach to the media meets the democratic standards of society and its political and economic interests. The regulatory framework is synchronized with digitalization, technological development of media and public communications, in contrast to countries with unstable economies that adopt both technology and regulatory innovations from the outside. A study of the legislative framework underlying the formation of the media space and communication system of Mongolia demonstrates a number of errors and deviations in the development of press freedom and national journalism. The authors update the issues of independent professional journalistic activity and the need to inform the public, the openness of government institutions and the transparency of their work. Examples are given of violations of the rights of journalists and pressure on commercial media, which affects the quality of the media space, the economic interests of media owners and the rights of citizens.
