Conclusion 
The main conclusions indicated that the media market in Kazakhstan was unevenly 
financed. The governmental public information orders primarily supported the financial 
well-being and probably the quality of their product. In contrast, private media struggled 
financially. They were put in uneven position even in their efforts to attract business's 
advertising budgets because they competed against the same financially well-off public 
media. Some of the articles raised the issue that those governmental public information 
orders might be used as leverages to influence the media tone and content. State 
propaganda is the most acute problem, as a result of which low-quality journalists appear. 
Unfortunately, underfunded media produces a low quality of content, which 
affects journalistic education. Yesterday's students are very often completely illiterate, 
which means their grammar skills are pretty low, have no idea how to work. Employers 
lose a considerable amount of time on training graduates of journalism schools, as well

as on editing or rewriting their materials. The journalism education system in 
Kazakhstan needs radical reform. The main reason is the lack of education and training. 
Some media outlets consciously refuse graduates of journalism departments since the 
quality of their education leaves much to be desired. The Kazakhstani journalistic 
community needs improvement of the mass media financial stability, as well as 
professional training and retraining of personnel.
