The Media Rights Defense Center launches a mobile application - a legal guide for journalists.
The handbook is a short guide to the legal security of a journalist and media editorial staff, contains answers to typical legal questions that journalists have, and also provides access to the necessary extracts from media legislation. The guide includes all the main questions from the basic rights and duties of a journalist, to where a journalist can take photographs without permission, what is libel, how to define extremism in a text, etc.

The convenience of working with the reference book lies not only in its mobile format, but also in its understandable structure, accessible language of presentation, the presence of a hotline through which you can send a question to media lawyers and get an individual answer, and, of course, the possibility of offline access to information.

The information base of the application is constantly updated and its updates become available when connected to the Internet.

The database will be constantly updated by the legal service of the Media Rights Protection Center. In addition to general questions, answers to the most frequently asked questions of users will be posted.

By the decision of the Ministry of Justice on February 26, 2015, the Media Rights Protection Center was entered into the register of foreign agents. In this regard, we point out that the materials of this mobile application are distributed by a non-profit organization performing the functions of a foreign agent (in accordance with part 1 of article 24 of the Federal Law "On non-profit organizations"). The Center for the Protection of Media Rights considers this decision illegal and will seek its cancellation.
