The article views a circle of issues connected with the responsibility of contemporary work of media for the quality of information. The metalanguage actual for the new Russian media sphere is generalized. All types of up-to-date information resources are viewed and classified. The types and forms of their content variation are analysed. Special attention is paid to a new information phenomenon – infonoise – whose harmful nature is revealed. Among intended and unintended fluctuations of the language norm there is a process of constructing createmes as a means of communicative freedom, expressivisation and emotionalisation of the media discourse. The journalists are reminded of their responsibility for the quality of information presented to the public. A most significant definition of responsibility including all its necessary notional specifiers is introduced. The absence of these specifiers is illustrated in the information materials, which impedes adequate understanding of them by the mass media consumers and does not lead to the unified reflection. It is stated that the most important of these specifiers is the truthfulness of information. Special attention is paid to the ecological risks of the irresponsibility of some journalists in regard to their fishing, transmitting and broadcasting low-quality information. Emphasis is put on the fact that the practice of journalists represents a specific communicative sphere, which often disorients information consumers. This fact is mostly obvious in connection with incompliance of mass media in a common methodology of presenting information, which has resulted in destruction of the dialogue function of mass media: only the Internet still preserves this function. Highlighted is the role of the language in creating linguistic reality as opposed to the objective one.

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aktivitas hubungan media yang dilakukan oleh Universitas Islam Indonesia, saat kejadian Tragedi Diksar Mapala UII. Kejadian tersebut merupakan krisis karena tidak diduga, terjadi secara mendadak, dan menimbulkan gangguan pada aktivitas dan citra organisasi. Hubungan media adalah salah satu aktivitas yang penting dalam manajemen krisis, karena media massa mampu mempengaruhi persepsi masyarakat terhadap satu organisasi dalam krisis. Dalam situasi krisis sendiri, persepsi dapat menjadi lebih kuat daripada fakta. Batasan hubungan media dalam tulisan ini adalah dalam aspek penyediaan informasi yang terdiri dari : (1) kualitas narasumber organisasi dan (2) cara organisasi dalam membantu liputan media. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dengan mewawancarai wartawan dari media di Yogyakarta yang meliput Diksar Mapala UII. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa media membutuhkan narasumber pimpinan tertinggi universitas. Informasi yang diperoleh dari humas universitas dirasa masih kurang cukup. Dalam hal upaya organisasi membantu aktivitas liputan, UII dinilai masih kurang cepat dan kurang terbuka dalam memberikan informasi. The purpose of this article is to analyse the media relations activities by Islamic University of Indonesia (UII), related to crisis "Tragedi Diksar Mapala UII". This incident lead to crisis because it is unpredictable, happen suddenly, disturb the organizational activities, and make the organization's image being at risk. Media relations is one important activites in crisis management. It is because mass media could affect the public perception toward an organization. In crisis situation, perception could be stronger than the fact. The limitation of media relations in this article are information subsidies. Information subsidies consist of : (1) the quality of news sources that provided by the organization, and (2) how organization facilitate the news gathering process by the media. The data for this article is being collected from interview with journalist from the mass media in Yogyakarta. The results are media want the top management of the universities as the news sources. The information that being provided by public relations is not enough. The university also lack of quickness and lack of openess.

The dynamic development of traditional media: print, radio, television, the emergence of new computer information technologies, the globalization of the world information space makes a huge impact on the current state of the language. Mass media are the most important tool in the development and the preservation of the language. On the one hand, all the latest language changes are reflected in the media, and on the other hand, the media influence language changes and development. This article outlines the results of the study concerning the role of regional media in the distribution and popularization of the national language. A full description is given to modern Tatar-language media within the Russian media space. Nowadays, despite an active distribution of network mass media, television remains one of the main communication channels. For a large part of the Russian population, including the viewers of the Republic of Tatarstan, it is one of the most accessible ways to obtain the information in native language. In this regard, in the course of the study, they studied the experience of the main Tatar-language television and radio companies in the popularization of the national language

The article discusses the media discourse, analyzes its role in shaping the picture of the world of modern person: the typological features of the media text, the means and techniques of speech impact on the audience are highlighted. In the study of media texts, the author used the method of discursive analysis. As a result of an experimental study, linguistic techniques and means were revealed by which mass media influence the formation of public opinion, control communication in society. After analyzing publications in Russian media, the author comes to the conclusion that many of the linguistic techniques used in socio-political discourse today are mostly manipulative in nature, and are a powerful tool in the information confrontation. The identification of these tools and techniques, their systematization allows us to understand the specifics of the formation of the picture of the world of modern person, especially communication in society.

Annotation. Introduction. In today’s rapidly evolving Internet, new opportunities are emerging for scientific communication among scientists around the world. The dissemination of scientific ideas in society through the media is a daily norm abroad. In Ukraine, the attitude of the research community towards the promotion of scientific research still raises many questions: it is rather wary. For the even development of Ukrainian science, scientists need to cover the results of their work to a wide audience, communicate with press services and journalists and disseminate their ideas in society. With the emergence of new more effective ways and forms of scientific communication through Internet resources and relevant platforms, the creation of new information and scientific technologies, there is a need for state support of scientific activities, communication in Ukraine and ensuring the appropriate level of copyright protection of these scientists, developers etc. Purpose. The main purpose of the study is to monitor the state and trends of scientific communication in Ukraine in modern conditions and to develop recommendations for its further development. Results. The analysis of development of scientific communication in Ukraine is carried out. The definition of the concept of scientific communication is indicated. The process of scientific communication is schematically presented. The most common classification of scientific communication is given. The significance of the created National Research Fund of Ukraine for scientists and science in general is noted. The dynamics of the number of employees involved in the implementation of research and development, who have the degree of Doctor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The analysis of the employees number by level of education is involved in the implementation of research and development. Conclusions. We are convinced that the improvement of the support mechanism for Ukrainian science, scientists and scientists by the state will help to minimize the possible risks and dangers associated with copyright infringement and the decline of domestic science in general.

Urban society is a society that always tries to improve its quality of life and is open to receiving influences from outside, especially those from the media. The media and the use of information technology in all fields significantly increases the quality of people’s lives. Film as a part of media can reach various groups, in terms of age, education, socio-economic status, cultural background, and religion. Film becomes a strategic media for transforming ideas. It is one of the commodification products that is popular among the people. It is important to monitor the culture of media consumption in urban society from the films. This study aimed at finding out how far films can affect human life. The films that were sampled were two Indonesian films. The problem was solved using questionnaires. The sample community was the community living in the city of Jakarta. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents (80%) stated that they were watching films not just for entertainment but also to gain insight. Films are produced not only for profit orientation but can also be used for educational purposes. Keywords: culture of mass media consumption, urban society, films

The article gives the rationale for the necessity of developing a theoretical and methodological basis of mass media theory and up-dating its research tools. It is shown that the main direction of further research should be its mathematization and software-based algorithm development of models for managing information flows. It is established that in order to implement this idea it is necessary to apply a process approach to mass media system research as solutions based on the process approach significantly increase the potential for planning and forecasting changes in the media system, as well as forming effective models of information flows management. In the framework of the process approach, mass information activities are considered as processes that result in creating an information product meeting the needs of a particular consumer or a group of consumers. By integrating all the information product processes that take place in media organizations, a process-type media system that in general results in meeting information needs of the society relevant to peoples interests, preferences and requests is formed. In order to study the system, the authors highlight its most important properties such as integrity, nonadditivity and focus. It is demonstrated that it is impossible to apply conventional mathematical methods and models in the conditions of transient influence of external factors and nonlinear interrelations between processes. The authors prove that revealed interrelations can be successfully visualized by means of cognitive mapping. The authors suggest а cognitive map for evaluation of mass media performance, where a target concept is the level of awareness of the population that provides them with landmarks to guide themselves in the world while governing concepts are the quantity demanded and supplied and the quality of information products. At the same time, it is specified that the quality of mass media products is determined by mass media accessibility, promptness, reliability and feedback from consumers. The proposed cognitive map is formalized by means of fuzzy information about concepts and power of their influence, which is presented in the form of a knowledge database according to fuzzy logic rules. Use of the given knowledge database allows to develop an algorithm for evaluating performance of the media system with the help of MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, which provides an opportunity to set performance targets and thus to give different scenarios of information flows management.

Abstract Background With the COVID-19 pandemic’s outbreak, millions flocked to Wikipedia for updated information. Amid growing concerns regarding an “infodemic,” ensuring the quality of information is a crucial vector of public health. Investigating whether and how Wikipedia remained up to date and in line with science is key to formulating strategies to counter misinformation. Using citation analyses, we asked which sources informed Wikipedia’s COVID-19–related articles before and during the pandemic’s first wave (January–May 2020). Results We found that coronavirus-related articles referenced trusted media outlets and high-quality academic sources. Regarding academic sources, Wikipedia was found to be highly selective in terms of what science was cited. Moreover, despite a surge in COVID-19 preprints, Wikipedia had a clear preference for open-access studies published in respected journals and made little use of preprints. Building a timeline of English-language COVID-19 articles from 2001–2020 revealed a nuanced trade-off between quality and timeliness. It further showed how pre-existing articles on key topics related to the virus created a framework for integrating new knowledge. Supported by a rigid sourcing policy, this “scientific infrastructure” facilitated contextualization and regulated the influx of new information. Last, we constructed a network of DOI-Wikipedia articles, which showed the landscape of pandemic-related knowledge on Wikipedia and how academic citations create a web of shared knowledge supporting topics like COVID-19 drug development. Conclusions Understanding how scientific research interacts with the digital knowledge-sphere during the pandemic provides insight into how Wikipedia can facilitate access to science. It also reveals how, aided by what we term its “citizen encyclopedists,” it successfully fended off COVID-19 disinformation and how this unique model may be deployed in other contexts.

The Mass Media

Media freedom is pivotal to the sustenance and consolidation of democracy, as the quality of democracy in any society depends on the level of freedom accorded the media and the plurality of views entertained (Diamond, 2008). The ability of the mass media to carry out their traditional functions of educating, entertaining and enlightening the public about their democratic rights, and holding governments accountable, will subsequently lead to the establishment of a strong democratic institution. Hence there is need to protect media freedom in any democratic society (Baker, 2007; Norris, 2008). The Nigerian media environment, however, is characterised by a series of laws such as sedition law, official secret act, amongst others, which have directly and indirectly hindered the freedom of the mass media and their responsibility of promoting and advancing democracy. This is made worse by the incomprehensive nature of the 1999 Constitution. Using interviews and policy analysis, this chapter critically examines the policy framework of media freedom in Nigeria and its impact on the operation of the mass media. The ability of the media to live up to their responsibility of promoting and advancing the democratisation process in Nigeria within the available framework is also examined.

Information is considered one of the main factors of the current geopolitical dynamics. The information paradigm of geopolitics defines the canons of conquest and control of a global information space, as well as the nature of the relationship between geopolitical actors. It covers a range of issues related to geographic information policy, which includes the activities aimed at increasing the power of State information, including in the media. Helping people understand the changing world order has become the main goal of mass media. In an emerging global information field, the media no longer divide events into domestic and foreign ones. Russia’s propaganda offensive is a carefully prepared strategy. The country built an array of soft power instruments and transformed them into effective weapons in a new information war with the West. Initially intended as a tool to enhance Russia’s soft power, it quickly developed into one of the main instruments of Russia’s new imperialism. The minimum task may be the integration of part of the post-Soviet space, whereas the maximum task is to unite civilizations into a single Eurasian continental block in order to restore civilization balance
