AzerbaijanMatanat Ahadova The history of the press in Azerbaijan began with "Akinchi" , the first Azerbaijani-language newspaper, published by Hasan bey Zardabi between 1875 and 1877. The national press, the foundation of which was laid by the great enlightener and publisher Hasan bey Zardabi, has always been the mouthpiece of progressive ideas in Azerbaijan and the country's public and political life. The press plays a major role in the preservation and enrichment of the national and spiritual values of people. The Azerbaijani national press, which has rich historical, progressive and glorious traditions, celebrates its 144th anniversary on July 22. The National Press Day proves that journalism in Azerbaijan is paid attention and concern by the state. Gunel Mammadova

Republic of MoldovaJournalism is the activity of collecting, analyzing, verifying and presenting information regarding current events, including trends, results and people. Those who practice journalism are called journalists. From its beginnings, until now, journalism has crossed a path to initiation, from the status of hobby or passion evolving to what is today, namely, an occupation but which has not yet been able to be named definitely a profession but that can still be a business sector. Defining journalism as a social activity in Moldova requires an overview, on multi-faceted and transdisciplinary approach which will identify premises of occurrence historical and social context in which it was stated and to combine the major features and to gather most of the characteristics and peculiarities of its – Which is very important thing in the context of shaping a new model of journalism – social journalism. The basis of local higher education in the field of journalism was laid in 1966, when it was announced, for the first time, admission to the specialty "Journalism". The decision to initiate a new university vocational training chain was stimulated by the increase in the number of domestic periodical publications in the 50-60s of the last century, as well as by the extension of the broadcast area of the Moldovan RTV stations. The training of the 25 student-journalists, admitted to studies in 1966, was carried out within the Chair of Moldovan literature of the Faculty of Philology of the State University of Moldova, to which the task of organizing the university education with journalistic profile was entrusted. In the same year, among the students of the second year from the same Faculty, an academic group was set up, which also was to be trained on the journalistic chain. The first Journalism Chair of the RSSM was created in 1969. The newspaper Glasul appeared at the initiative of Ion Druţă, who encouraged the return to the Latin alphabet as a chance to consolidate the position of the Romanian language in Bessarabia. It was a step towards the recovery of the national identity, and the publication went out of print in the autumn of 1988. Later, the idea was taken over by the poet Leonida Lari.
The first issue of the newspaper The Voice was printed underground in Riga, Latvia. In the Republic of Moldova there were no technical conditions, but it was especially against the authorities to print any Romanian text. Therefore, the mission was difficult to accomplish.
