Today, Gazeta newspaper celebrates its 18th anniversary. The editorial board has received dozens of messages from readers, state agencies, international organizations, embassies, business and cultural figures. Each message shows that our work is visible and needed.
Readers note that Gazeta always ranks high in media reviews. Over the past 18 years, the publication has earned a worthy place in the country's information space and gained the trust of its audience. The editorial team does not just cover events but tries to reveal the human side behind them, focusing on people's interests and lives.
The European Union Delegation describes Gazeta as an important and reliable part of Uzbekistan's media landscape. Journalists have participated in international press events, interviewed EU representatives, and consistently covered events shaping cooperation. They particularly value the publication's ability to put people's interests at the forefront.
UNICEF representatives praised the thoroughness of Gazeta's journalists in fact-checking and consulting experts, thanking the publication for covering issues related to children in Uzbekistan. The French Embassy welcomes Gazeta's commitment to press freedom and its contribution to the country's development since 2008.
The British Embassy considers Gazeta an integral part of diplomats' daily routine. According to them, the publication has set a high standard for independent journalism in Uzbekistan: professional, responsible, curious, and courageous. UNDP representatives highlight Gazeta's role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, calling it a bridge between information and society.
A well-known blogger and founder of KurbanoffNet recalls that an article in Gazeta about 'smart' driving licenses in 2017 led to a government decision, which in turn gave birth to the KurbanoffNet project. In his words, without Gazeta, Kurbanoff would not exist.
Another reader calls Gazeta a symbol of honesty and professionalism. The publication regularly writes about palliative care issues, which contributed to the adoption of a relevant presidential decree. It is also noted that one article helped stop illegal construction and restore a children's playground to residents.
The editorial board thanks everyone for their congratulations and good wishes. The publication will continue to adhere to the principles of objectivity, verified information, and professional approach.
