В статті розглядаються проблемні питання взаємодії влади та суспільства за допомогою механізмів соціально-правових комунікацій, які у свою чергу досліджуються з позиції від­повідності правовим ідеалам. Особлива роль у цьому процесі відводиться засобам масової інформації, функції яких варіюються від забезпечення свободи слова до «сліпої» реалізації державної інформаційної політики. Водночас пропонуються новітні (транзактні) моделі ко­мунікацій, що в змозі нівелювати диктат влади над публічною сферою і, відповідно, розвит­ком громадянського суспільства.   The article considers the issues of interaction between the authorities and society through mechanisms of socio-legal communications, which in turn are investigated from the perspective of compliance with legal ideals. A special role in this process is seen in the media, whose functions range from ensuring freedom of speech to "blind" implementation of the state information policy. However, the latest (transaction) models of communication are offered, which are able to neutralize the dictates of the authorities over the public sphere and, accordingly, over the development of civil society.
