The Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ) has made official inquiries to the Ministry of Information, and the presidential National Law Drafting Center about a draft presidential edict that would govern online media outlets.
The BAJ has expressed its readiness to take part in work on the draft edict and put forward proposals to improve it.
On March 13, Information Minister Uladzimir Rusakevich said that the edict would “confirm the notification principle of registration” for online media outlets such as an online version of a newspaper and any other online news source. The edict will settle the issue of online media outlets’ responsibility and the issue of copyright in the Internet environment, the minister said.
