He noted that the presidential decree of February 8 provides for

solutions for the register,' Ismayilov said.
According to him, both media entities and reporters can be
rostered on a voluntary basis.
'The registration of journalists is optional, but media entities
are generally registered. Both audiovisual media and online-print
media workers will be signed up. The media register will also have
a separate section for news agencies,' the CEO of MEDIA stated.
He noted that the purpose of setting up the register is to apply
a systematic approach to the media. The formation of it will
provide an economic and legal basis for media projects.
