AbstractThe objective of this paper is to reconstruct both the Kursk incident and especially the reaction to it by Russian military and political authorities with the aim of gauging the extent of continuity and change of Soviet-era practices in three key areas of contemporary Russia's public institutional life: (1) the organizational behaviour and institutional culture of the Russian military; (2) the behaviour of Russia's executive political leadership, i.e. President Vladimir Putin; and (3) the media of mass communication. Reaction to such crises, the author argues, can shed much light on the actual behavioural patterns and operating assumptions of relevant institutions and leaders. The method employed is essentially a detailed forensic reconstruction of the incident and its aftermath from three angles: the reactions of the military authorities; the reactions of Putin; and the reactions of the mass media (and of the authorities to the mass media).The individual is nonsense, the individual is zero.Vladimir Mayakovsky, 1921Human life still costs nothing here.Leonid Radzikhovskii, 2000

This impact is thanks to the monopoly in the management, supply, and utilization of information. Businesspersons simply showcase business expectations that they want to spread to the audience. This also makes economic growth more rapidly. Economic development in the various business can easily advance rapidly thanks to the mass media.

The mass-media production of pontifical charisma made of the papal voyage to Canada a veritable mass-communication celebra tion. But, it is precisely in this that the event has taken on its speci fic religious dimension, structuring into one single emotional communion the paradoxical identity of a public otherwise dis pensed.

Recently, the number of studies examining whether media coverage has an effect on the political agenda has been growing strongly. Most studies found that preceding media coverage does exert an effect on the subsequent attention for issues by political actors. These effects are contingent, though, they depend on the type of issue and the type of political actor one is dealing with. Most extant work has drawn on aggregate time-series designs, and the field is as good as fully non-comparative. To further develop our knowledge about how and why the mass media exert influence on the political agenda, three ways forward are suggested. First, we need better theory about why political actors would adopt media issues and start devoting attention to them. The core of such a theory should be the notion of the applicability of information encapsulated in the media coverage to the goals and the task at hand of the political actors. Media information has a number of features that make it very attractive for political actors to use—it is often negative, for instance. Second, we plead for a disaggregation of the level of analysis from the institutional level (e.g., parliament) or the collective actor level (e.g., party) to the individual level (e.g., members of parliament). Since individuals process media information, and since the goals and tasks of individuals that trigger the applicability mechanism are diverse, the best way to move forward is to tackle the agenda setting puzzle at the individual level. This implies surveying individual elites or, even better, implementing experimental designs to individual elite actors. Third, the field is in dire need of comparative work comparing how political actors respond to media coverage across countries or political systems.

With aim to study the influence of the mass media content on Ukrainian society, the anonymous sociological survey was held, the field phase of which took place in December 2013 and January 2014. It was found that the greatest influence on Ukrainian society is made by such channels of mass communication as TV, online news resources and social networks. The study proved a low level of influence of books and printed press, less than those of advertising. We disclosed the main factors, which prevent a large part of the respondents from buying and reading more output of Ukrainian publishers, while the content of the latter is mainly consistent with the readers’ needs and interests. We developed a hypothesis on the survey results, that the readers comprehend worse the contents of electronic books received in illegal manner, than the content of legally purchased books.

Communication is an integral part of human life because our movements are always associated by communication. At this point, the communication is in terms of Islamic communication, i.e. communication of moral al-karimah or ethics. Communication of morality means the communication that comes from the Quran and hadith (sunnah of the Prophet). Islamic communication is a new form of phrase and thought emerged in academic research started from about three decades ago. The emergence of Islamic communication thoughts and activism is based on the failure of the philosophy, paradigm and implementation of western communication which further optimizes the pragmatic, materialistic and capitalist media values. This failure has negative implications especially on the Muslim community throughout the world due to the different religions, cultures and lifestyles of the (western) countries that are as the producers of the sciences. There are two kinds of communication consisting of: (1) direct communication (face to face) either between individual with individual, or individual with group, or group with group, group with society, hence influence the individual relation (interpersonal) included in understanding the communication; and (2) mass communication that is a process of communication made through the mass media with various purposes of communication and to convey information to a wide audience. The basics of communication principles must be mastered. By mastering the principles of communication in Islamic society, it can be able to organize Islamic education and Islamic communication to form a high-quality communication in the society, professionals, and noble character.
