This article analyzes modern trends in the formation of public opinion in Uzbekistan. The study examines the role of social networks and traditional media in society and identifies their importance in obtaining information and exchanging opinions.

Also, low media literacy and the spread of misinformation hinder the qualitative formation of public opinion. The article also provides recommendations on the problems of the modern information environment and ways to solve them.
