Abstract: 
This article is devoted to the legal analysis of the legal consequences of unjustified 
interference with journalistic activities. The article shows that until this period, the law 
regulating social relations related to unjustified interference in journalistic activities has not been 
adopted . It is justified that this social relationship cannot be regulated through the analogy of 
law and law. 
At the end of the article, it was agreed that the protection of the journalist should be ensured in a 
special order, and only then, in practice, it is possible to achieve the realization of the freedom of 
opinion and expression by representatives of mass media, which is necessary for the 
development of civil society. It was concluded that this freedom is guaranteed to every person, 
but his practical realization in journalistic activities shows the level of freedom of thought and 
expression of the whole society.
The role of mass media in the life of society is high. We can see this in the allocation of a 
separate chapter for mass media in the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which has 
supreme legal power. This chapter consists of only one article, Article 81 . This shows that the 
Constitution was adopted based on the principle of aiming for the future goal and development. 
That is , the Constitution should not only aim to regulate existing social relations, it should also 
define future tasks and include social relations that may arise in the future. 
That need to be regulated regarding mass media emerge and increase as society develops. In the 
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, relations with mass media are formalized as a 
separate chapter. 
Mass media and its activities are one of the main factors determining the development of society. 
It is also the most influential institution in society . The human mind is influenced by mass 
media. Freedom of thought and speech through it; freedom to seek, receive, disseminate or think 
and express information. Therefore, the mass media are related to the rights and freedoms of the 
individual, which are strengthened by the Constitution, and also help in their implementation. 
We look at the tasks of the media, they are: 

formulating separate relevant opinions; 

providing information about the happenings; 

ensuring pluralism, freedom of speech and thought; 

represents the interests of various agencies and political institutions; 

protects the rights and freedoms of citizens;
