Consider that in every society the freedom of expression is a mirror of<br>democracy, the level of democracy could be measured through level of protection of this<br>right. The media and journalists, in their daily professional duties, face various pressures<br>from certain centers of power, which restrict the implementation of their right to freedom of<br>expression. The subject of this paper is a research of the perception of media workers about<br>the right to freedom of expression, as well as, the reasons that contribute to the restriction of<br>this right.

Macedonia. The basic guide question in the research is “What is the perception<br>of media workers about the degree of freedom of expression in the East Planning Region of<br>the Republic of N.
