发展独立新闻的重大努力在中亚遭遇了严重挫折，政治，经济和普遍自我审查的不可预见的后果已经破坏了西方式媒体及其所服务的民主的发展。更糟糕的是，从哈萨克斯坦到乌兹别克斯坦，发展一个可信的、以事实为基础的新闻业的前景看起来很黯淡。大部分的麻烦都可以归咎于自我审查，这种审查以不同寻常的活力遍布整个地区。中亚新闻业的状况比后共产主义世界的其他地区更糟，这主要是因为这个相对偏远地区的社会经济和政治局势仍然处于落后状态，现代化只是最近才缓慢地影响。阻碍中亚新闻业发展的最令人困惑的因素之一是推动新的后共产主义机构和该地区社会政治，经济和文化精英心态的文化。因此，那些谁奋进帮助中亚媒体的发展应该看看该地区的历史和文化，然后传授西方新闻的使命，价值观，角色，和健全的新闻商业惯例更完整的理解，然后再解决新闻技术.
Significant efforts to develop an independent journalism have stumbled badly in Central Asia, where politics, economics and the unforeseen consequence of widespread self-censorship have derailed development of a Western-style media and the democracy it serves. What is worse, from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan, prospects for developing a believable, fact-based journalism look grim. Much of this trouble can be laid at the doorstep of self-censorship, which flourishes across the region with uncommon vigor. Central Asian journalism is in worse shape than the rest of the post-Communist world, largely because the socioeconomic and political situations in this relatively remote region remain in flux from a backwardness that modernity is only of late and slowly affecting. One of the most confounding elements that stymie the evolution of Central Asia journalism is a culture that drives the new post-Communist institutions and the mentalities of the region's sociopolitical, economic, and cultural elites. Consequently, those who endeavor to aid the evolution of Central Asian media should look to the history and culture of the region and then impart a more complete understanding of Western journalism's mission, values, roles, and sound news business practices before addressing journalistic techniques.
