The medical insurance of employees is less than 5%.
Monthly income of the majority (87%) of journalists is 500-600 manat.
At 11% of journalists income is 700-800 manat and above. At the same time, the income of journalists in the regions is only 150-250 manat a month.
Among the problems of journalists the report mentioned the unsatisfactory work of the press services of various bodies, lack of health insurance, and poor protection of copyright.
