Investigations are carried out to clarify usage of attributes in the framework of legislation in mass media and for the elimination of abuse. It was clarified that, several mass media abused the state attributes. Press Council declined to say the names of mass media abused state attributes, but they stated that giving images of state emblem, flag along with the names of mass media in the most publications are reproached.
“We come across with this situation in several media outlets, but newspapers, journals not respected etiquette prevail.
Serious comments of the community are understandable in this case,” they said.
Moreover, monitoring carried out by Press Council shows that founders, or general directors are unaware of the rules of using state attributes in the majority of media outlets.
Press Council mentions again that under item 4 “v” of statutes on State Emblem of the Republic of Azerbaijan, only state bodies have rights to use image of state emblem in their blanks.
“This attribute should not be used in the blanks of the media outlets which is regarded corporate person and is not state body. 4th article of law on rules on use of State Flag of Azerbaijan Republic does not envisage use of the image of state flag in the blanks,” they said.
Azerbaijan Press Council recommends media outlets to respect state attributes. /APA/
