The demand for vlogs (video blogs) in the modern world stipulates the relevance of this work: having turned into a full-fledged media space, vlogs are steadily beginning to win back the position of leading mass media from television. The article studies the audience of vlogs as the most important factor which determines the model of communication of a vlogger and the final design of the media product as a whole and its issues in particular. The sources for the research are popular vlogs of the Runet which make it possible to trace distinguishing features of the vlog audience in comparison with the TV audience and to point out its similarities with the target audience in advertising communication. The retail communication act itself, which is initiated by a vlogger, demonstrates the similarity with the AIDMA model. As a result of the conducted analysis the author is able to make several conclusions: 1) about specific featuresof the audience of the vlog; 2) about the influence of the factor of the addressee on the vloggers’ work; 3) about different means of influence used by a vlogger to retain the audience’s attention and involve the audience in post-communication activity; 4) about the singularity of retail communication in vlogs. The active position of the addressee of communication in the virtual media space, the opportunity and the necessity of interactive communication for vlog promotion induce vloggers to constantly resolve the objectives of attracting and retaining the attention of subscribers, audience augmentation, and elaboration of topics for postcommunication activity of the audience. The vlog format, which is aimed at the creation and dissemination of media texts with complicated semiotics, enables and forces a vlogger to apply the widest range of verbal and nonverbal means of communication.

Статья посвящена изучению COVID-19 как лингвистического явления на материале журнала “The Economist” за март-май 2020 года. В статье отмечается, что в современном мире, характеризующемся переломными моментами цивилизационного плана, особое значение приобретает изучение основ формирования общества, роли информационных технологий и новых дискурсивных практик социального взаимодействия. Начало 2020 года ознаменовалось эпидемией коронавируса, перешедшей в пандемию. Повсеместное распространение заболевания отразилось не только на функционировании медицины и других социальных институтов, но и на лексическом составе многих языков, в частности английского. В статье анализируется структурный и семантический план лексемы «COVID-19». Данная лексема и ее синонимы вводятся в дискурс средств массовой информации, что позволяет рассмотреть их в дискурсивном контексте, выражающем изменения общественного сознания в период пандемии. В статье подчеркивается, что в периоды социальной стабильности процессы языкового развития протекают размеренно и постепенно, а языковые изменения затрагивают отдельные участки системы. В пору социальных потрясений процессы языкового развития ускоряются, создается впечатление хаоса и нестабильности. В соответствии с особенностями ситуации в обществе изменяются психологические установки масс, их языковой вкус и чувство языка. Комплексный лингвистический анализ материала позволил установить, что лексема «COVID-19» в английском массмедийном дискурсе приобретает дополнительные коннотации и служит для формирования информационной картины мира, отражающей национально-культурные особенности мировосприятия и систему ценностных отношений. The article is devoted to the study of COVID-19 as a linguistic phenomenon on the material of The Economist (March-May 2020). The article notes that in the modern world, characterized by critical moments of the civilization plan, the study of the foundations of the formation of society, the role of information technology and new discursive practices of social interaction is of particular importance. The beginning of 2020 was marked by the coronavirus epidemic, which turned into a pandemic. The wide spread of the disease affected not only the functioning of medicine and other social institutions, but also the lexical composition of many languages, in particular English. The article analyzes the structural and semantic plans of the COVID-19 token. This token and its synonyms are introduced into the discourse of the media, which allows us to consider them in the discursive context expressing changes in public consciousness during the pandemic. The article emphasizes that during periods of social stability, the processes of language development proceed gradually, and language changes affect individual parts of the system. At a time of social upheaval, the processes of language development are accelerating, an impression of chaos and instability is created. In accordance with the peculiarities of the situation in society, the psychological attitudes of the masses, their linguistic taste and flair of the language are changing.A comprehensive linguistic analysis of the research material made it possible to establish that the lexeme COVID-19 in the English mass media discourse acquires additional connotations and serves to form an informational picture of the world that reflects the national-cultural characteristics of worldview and the system of axiological relations.

Indirect communication channeled through various forms of media is undoubtedly dominant in the modern world. This is especially true in a situation when a minority language is no longer the most important means of communication within a given community, i.e. when most direct contact between representatives of that minority take place in the dominant language. If the use of a minority language therefore becomes impossible in direct situations, it becomes increasingly eagerly used in forms of indirect communication. Minority language can find natural niches where it can be used in the contemporary world, the most important of these being the mass media. During past 20 years the situation of Kashubian language has changed. The very interesting, complex, and not yet complete processes of standardization, codification,and propagation of a literary language have enabled the Kashubian language to establish its presence in schooling, literature, and the media. Not only has the character of the language changed thanks to these new niches of occurrence, but new cultural niches where the language is used and groups which use it have also emerged.

While conveying his messages, the facts that create and transform society, cultures, and identities, and creation processes occur in this context. The created advertisements, the concepts of self, and the “other,” East and West, have existed since the formation of human history and have been influenced from time to time, and the Orientalist, re-orientalist perspective has shown itself in the advertisements. The underdevelopment of the East is a discourse aimed at religion, language, and races. The West spreads its Orientalist discourse to the world through mass media. This research investigates the orientalism effects in media and communication regarding how the media and communication field is affected by Orientalism.

The current stage in the development of international relations is characterized by an increase of the role of non-state actors, which, among other things, include the media. In diplomatic work, it must be borne in mind that the mass media, despite the lack of an independent status in world political processes, nevertheless make a serious contribution to the implementation of the foreign policy tasks of any countries and even form a political reality. Mass media create a global information space as a cross-border, interactive and rapidly updated environment. As a result, borders, barriers, bureaucratic restrictions, differences in languages, and other factors that had a certain impact on international relations are seriously losing their weight in modern world political processes.

The article reveals the role of mass media in the process of forming the religious identity of modern student youth. The phenomenon of religious self-determination becomes particularly relevant as a process of religious change, which is influenced by factors whose number cannot but change in the modern world. Theoretically significant for this article are the works of Peter Berger, who develops social constructionism in sociology and considers the role and place of religion in modern secularized society. The work also used the theory of mediatization developed by S. Hjarvard and M. Levheim. The empirical basis is the results of qualitative and quantitative research. Using the results of interviews with UdSU students, it was possible to determine the features of practical student religiousness, as well as students' attitude towards the media. Using the results of an online survey of UdSU students, the relationship to religion and religious figures was analyzed depending on what news the student meets. In addition, the main indicators of religiosity were identified, as well as the sources of news about religion. Religious identity is formed primarily in the family. Students mostly go through the process of converting to religion in early childhood. The process of religious conversion is manifested in different ways - baptism, attendance of religious Sunday schools, discussions about religion, and imitation of family members. During student years, students question their religiosity. As active users of electronic technology, students encounter news about religion in the media (mainly on television and on the Internet). However, if they need information related to religion, students tend to turn primarily to religious officials with whom they know, religious relatives, friends who seem to be authority on the subject, and the Internet. The final decision, however, is made by the student.

The mission of Church directed to non- believers didn’t finish. It still lasts. The mission ad gentes is topical, because 4 million people hadn’t believed in Jesus Christ. Also series of Magisterium of the Church documents from the last decades affirm the need to continue missionary work, including traditional distinguishing countries or missionary areas. At the same time the change of the modern world significantly influence on other parallel picture of the mission ad gentes. The processes of developing large cities and agglomerations as well as migrations of people constitute new challenge to Church and its Gospel ministry. These are new horizons of the mission ad gentes. Also the world of social mass media and other cultural areopaguses of the modern world belong to those new missionary spaces. The missionary work of Church (ad gentes) is present for a long time in common law (e.g. The Code of Canon Law 1983 and numerous instructions about above mentioned) and in particular law. Whereas the issue considering new missionary horizons, pointed out in Magisterium of the Church documents, is only partly regulated by the canon law. Pastoral activities have to respond to new challenges (large cities and the migration) as well as to presence of non- Christians in traditionally Christian countries. The Church uses social mass media in evangelization. It finds it response additionally in the canon law. The idea (on a legal ground) of introducing the Gospel into the media environment or other cultural spaces is less noticeable.

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.
