Despite the fact that the constitution explicitly bans censorship, press
censorship is routine. In 1992 twelve daily newspapers, with a total
circulation of 452,000, were published. In 1993 the government required
all periodicals to register, and the applications of all independent
titles were denied. In early 1996, no independent press had emerged, and
all forms of information dissemination were monitored closely. The largest
daily newspapers were Khalk Suzi (People's World), the organ of
the Oly Majlis; Narodnoye Slovo , a Russian-language government
daily; Pravda Vostoka , an organ of the Oly Majlis and the
cabinet, in Russian; and Uzbekiston Adabiyoti va San'ati
(Uzbekistan Literature and Art), the organ of the Union of Writers of
Uzbekistan. The only news agency was the government-controlled Uzbekistan
Telegraph Agency (UzTAG).
