Abstract This paper investigates the concept of trust at the discourse level. Based on an epistemological discourse approach (Busse 1987), trust is defined as trust-relevant knowledge, which is usually implicit. The paper focuses on the methodology of the analysis of trust at discourse level in the mass media reporting on refugees by identifying implicit indicators of trust constructions (trust dimensions) and their discourse linguistic operationalization through argumentation patterns. The manual annotation of trust dimensions and a combination of hermeneutic and automatic analysis using Maxqda play a central role for the operationalization of the concept trust for discourse linguistic analysis. The implementation of the method is demonstrated by analyzing the media construction of the loss and the rebuilding of trust towards refugees (the discursive trust dynamics) in the context of the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany in December 2015/January 2016. In contrast to sociological studies, the present analysis does not show an increased mass media construction of distrust in the face of this discursive event and therefore demonstrates that discourse linguistic trust research contributes to the interdisciplinary research on trust and provides valid findings about the collective knowledge about refugees.

The article deals with the Russian media coverage of sexual assaults against women during the 2016 New Year's Eve celebrations in Cologne. The authors examine it in the frame of discourse of “Gayropa” that represents the EU via changes in gender order of the West European societies. The pro-Kremlin media coverage of the “Rape of Europe” contributes to positioning Russia in the world, maintaining power legitimacy in the country, and supporting gender order in Russian society. The media discourse treats it as an evidence of decline of the European civilization.

In interdisciplinary research, mass media is primarily considered as a factor of shaping social views on a particular social phenomenon. Meanwhile, the media themselves can act as an object of social views. This article presents the results of an empirical study of the structure of young people’s social perceptions of mass media. This study was done on opinions of students of Saratov State National Research University, involving the sample number of 1,020 people aged 17-23. The empirical material has been collected using the methods of verbal experiment and unfinished sentences. The obtained data have been processed with the help of a prototypical analysis proposed by P. Verges. To control the results obtained, we applied individual conversations, analysis of online discussions, and an author’s questionnaire. The results showed that the concepts of "television" and "Internet" are in the same ambivalent field of perception, yet in different emotional backgrounds. Television is not perceived by respondents as an indispensable attribute of life,but is rather assessed as a type of media that plays an entertaining role, broadcasts news and possesses great manipulative and advocating capabilities. The Internet is perceived by respondents more positively – as a personally meaningful space that translates certain meanings and values, also implementing various significant functions.

This article examines the foreign models of regulation of the media industry aimed at protection of children from information that may harm their health and development. The author reviews the widespread approaches towards classification of the systems of mass media regulation, and the genesis of the corresponding scientific representations. Having compared the key provisions of these approaches, the author determines the universal factors and parameters of the systems of mass media regulation in foreign countries. Addressing the issues of children’s protection from harmful content and taking measures aimed at restriction of distribution of information, the article considers media regulation system as a social practice and vector of information policy. The conclusion is made on the key role of the traditional value orientations, perceptions of risks in relation to health and development of children, mechanisms and technologies for protecting children from harmful information. Pronounced trends in regulation of mass media for the protection of children include the increase in national differentiation despite the globalization of media communication processes, which the author associates with the diversity of the main sources of dynamics of sociocultural national spaces. The growing commercialization of media industry indicates the need for integrating the capacities of state and civil mechanisms of control over the distribution of media products in the face of the threat of monopolization of media industry.

This article uses an interactionist perspective to understand the role of media framings of critical events in catalyzing Western citizens’ support for radical responses to Muslim immigration (e.g., armed self-defense). A multi-method series of three studies tested this perspective in the context of the 2015/2016 Cologne New Year’s Eve sexual assaults on women. Study 1, a content analysis of 163 online newspaper articles, revealed that mass media attributed the assaults to the suspects’ Muslim culture. Study 2, a correlational study ( N = 487) conducted at the peak of the media coverage, confirmed that the degree to which participants accepted the veracity of the culture-focused media representation strengthened the relation between their feelings of symbolic threat as a result of Muslim immigration and their approval of radical responses. Study 3, an experiment with pre-registered hypotheses ( N = 91), replicated and extended these interaction effects. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Mass media has an important role in imaging. Whether we realize it or not, the image is the result of mass media construction. The mass media can lift someone so that they become famous and supported by the community but can also bring down the person to become the most hated figure. The media constructs reality through certain points of view which are then framed or framed. In this study, the framing analysis of the Gamson and Modigliani models was used to find out how the reality or image of Edy Rahmayadi was constructed or framed by MedanBisnisdaily.com. According to Gamson, framing is a way of telling stories or clusters of organized ideas in such a way and presenting the construction of the meaning of events related to the object of a discourse. This type of research is qualitative with a constructivism paradigm. From this research, Medanbisnisdaily.com describes the image of Edy Rahmayadi as a firm, but controversial and seemingly arrogant person.

While persons may differ on the identified start of what evolved into the “Me Too” movement of 2017, the media focus makes the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas saga of October 1991 a starting point for a slow cruise to a season of reckoning. This article explores the circumstances that led to a cataclysm where women have been believed and the alleged perpetrators have experienced consequences. These elements are a grassroots movement against sexual harassment across sectors; high-profile celebrity cases that attracted public attention; the use of a social media venue, the # MeToo, that facilitated the victims speaking publicly, from a safe distance from the harasser or abuser, no longer feeling compelled to silence for personal or career reasons; the election of a President (Trump) who was recorded jesting about engaging in sexual harassment; courageous investigative journalism in the face of threats from powerful persons; and President Obama’s Title IX enhancements that put sexual assaults on college and universities in the news (and Betsy Devos’s reversal of some of these initiatives). A final ingredient is the initial mistrial of Bill Cosby in 2017 (he has since been convicted of sexual assault in 2018).

The prevalence of autism is growing, the problems of stigmatization and discrimination of people with autism spectrum disorders in society are exacerbating. The mass media play an important role in enlightening and reducing stigmatizing effects, in connection with which the goal was formulated to study the construction of images of a person with ASD in the mass media by the method of qualitative and discourse analysis of video clips from the federal channel. According to the results of the study, it can be argued that the range of characteristics used to describe people with autism in media discourse is diverse, but in retrospect, dominant interpretation models can be identified. At an early stage, the prevailing image of a person with ASD was deprived of the quality’s characteristic of normotypical people who do not want to leave their world. People diagnosed with autism were referred to as the intolerant category of "autistic". Since 2013, there has been a discursive turn, within which the category “autist” is replaced by tolerant speech patterns, adults with autism get into the lens of the media, the topic of uncommunicability as a property of a person with autism is replaced by the intention of the lack of opportunities to communicate, one of the reasons for which is social exclusion. In television stories of recent years, the mass media are actively constructing the image of a person with autism spectrum disorder through his inner world, through the advantages that a person with ASD can have due to his characteristics. However, it cannot be said that there has been a complete change of the image: the old cliches, as a rule, manifest themselves at a more latent level of grammatical constructions and semiotic meanings.
