SELF-REGULATION OF THE MEDIA
Self-regulation means that the media itself sets the conditions, rather than the laws, for professional behaviour and monitors their compliance. Promoting the development of self-regulatory practices in the media environment is one of the main objectives of the activities of the Media ethics council.
