The mass media and the Internet, which inform young people about illegal actions and conduct propaganda on the way to raising the level of legal culture as the main factor in preventing it, are an important tool for combating lawlessness.

The paper attempts to identify common features characteristic of the expression of a threat in different communicative situations, as well as to describe the circumstances affecting the choice of certain language means to express threat. The direct and indirect forms of speech aggression seen as threat are studied in four spheres: political, business, everyday vernacular and mass media. We used data obtained by the method of continuous sampling from the Internet as material for the study: screenshots of personal correspondence, posts on social networks, photographs of paper media. In all these data, the speech act of the threat is recorded in writing and represents a threat-warning.

Purpose. The article is devoted to the consideration of narrative media strategies for creating a longread of historical themes in the Russian Internet space. We are talking about the documentary-gaming network resources of Mikhail Zygar – “1917. Free history” and “Map of history”. Results. It is concluded that history is in many respects an object, which is almost endless material for various “experiments with formats”. The article presents the different views of researchers on the nature and modern mechanisms of mediastoritelling. It is noted that the game focuses the reader-user on the immersive nature of the historical Internet product: describes such ways to attract the addressee's attention, such as animation, infographics, reception “past in the present” – social networks become the mechanism of narrative explication of historical events. The materials of the “Map of History” are considered separately from the point of view of their compositional construction. Conclusion. It is argued that the authors of the project have created a complex and interesting rhizomatic mass media product, which can be perceived simultaneously as historical evidence, an exciting documentary game, and a journalistic longread, and an artistic text.

Over the past two decades, Russian and foreign researchers have documented the growing influence of social networks on political communication. The Internet has become a new mass media. In Russia, bloggers with more than 3,000 subscribers acquire a mass media status. Internet users are not passive recipients of messages: they distribute them and generate their own content. The Internet is a different kind of reality, where anything is possible. Traditional mass media are less efficient than the Internet in providing news. As a result, the Internet and social networks have become a new means of political interaction. The COVID-19 pandemic boosted the digitalization of mass communications and made this process irreversible. The present article reviews 250 foreign research papers published by Taylor and Francis, Oxford University Press, and SAGE Publications in 2020–2021. The objective was to determine the attractiveness of political communication in social networks as a research topic. 12 % of the articles featured the role of social nets in political communication, Facebook being the most popular research material. A similar amount of papers focused on the behavior of network users and the role of the state in the management of social networks. Foreign terms used to describe the research topic appeared to be different from those used by Russian linguists. For instance, foreign authors use "social media" as a synonym for "sites of social networks", while Russian scientists prefer a much broader interpretation. Some terms and acronyms, such as SNSa, are absent from Russian works. Foreign authors exploit classical political science theories to study the issues of political content, the effect of social networks on protest movements and racial conflicts, and the use of new media in election campaigns. They are unfamiliar with Russian approaches to empirical data analysis, e.g. theory of "weak ties", "close world", two-stage flow of communication, the concept of "third place", etc.

Partindo da diversidade de bandeiras de luta destes movimentos, analisa a concepção de ciência por trás das críticas feitas a eles. Descreve a apropriação das tecnologias de informação e comunicação pela juventude na cobertura destes eventos e a crise instalada na tradicional mídia de massa. O texto analisa os conceitos de educação que estão postos em debate, fazendo uma crítica à visão produtivista que toma conta da educação em todo o mundo. A partir destas considerações, propõe a implantação de um “ecossistema pedagógico de aprendizagem e de produção de culturas e conhecimento” como sendo uma das possibilidades para a escola enfrentar os desafios contemporâneos.Palavras-chave: Redes Sociais; Educação; Ativismo; Políticas Educacionais.   ABSTRACT The paper begins with a brief description of recent demonstrations in Brazil against various economic and politics aspects.

This Major Research Paper (MRP) explores sonic logos, which are short sound bites used in commercial advertising to represent brands to the public. I discuss how these types of sounds are increasingly being used to attract audience attention in the current corporate and mass media landscape. My research is informed by scholarly debates about the role of the audience in contemporary media environments and traces key positions in this debate, including Celia Lury’s (1993) suggestion that contemporary audiences are passive and Philip Napoli’s (2010) suggestion that social media audiences now play a more active role in producing and sharing media content. Henry Jenkins (2004) provides a synthesis of these two views and states that while the audience has the option to be participatory on social media platforms, there is still an increasing trend toward concentrated ownership in the entertainment industry. I conducted interviews with advertising and branding professionals and analyzed the manner in which producers’ conceptualizations of the audience shape sonic branding practices. One key finding of my study is that media producers believe that changes in technology have changed the way that brand and media institutions interact with their audience. Another key finding is that producers view the contemporary media audience as distracted but also ore sophisticated due to their access and use of communication technologies.
