Today, the media is divided into two major types: print and electronic. Text written for print media is significantly different from text written for radio, television, internet media. Accordingly, media texts cover several forms in terms of their specific features, ideological and technological aspects. Since reality in television language is usually expressed through images, a great deal of attention is paid to the power of the image. However, given the impossibility of achieving absolute efficiency with a dry image, there is a need for analysis of media texts. The issue of language and style of the anchorperson (author) has a special place in television journalism. While recreational programs on national TV channels are among the most popular programs of the audience, the process of interactive dialogue, debates and discussions, the expression of opinions, changes in the culture of individual communication of each person. Thus, the language of radio and television influences the language of the citizens of the whole country, its development. New words and phrases that are heard on the radio or television will soon spread to everyone and become fashionable. This fact shows that the language of TV and radio journalists has a special responsibility. Journalists and anchorperson need to preserve the language culture, preserve the lively and nice voice, and speak in accordance with the norms of literary language. Recently, television technologies, especially the latest methods of editing, have been used in order to raise the rating of programs, to penetrate the hearts of the public, to have a sharp impact on the mind and psychology. While the faster impact on the mind through image is a key factor, the naming of programs to engage the audience has also begun to play an important role because a resonant name quickly affects the consciousness of the audience. The article analyzes language issues in recreational television programs, in particular, the use of words from foreign languages in naming them, their impact on the language of the audience, programs based on the norms of the Uzbek literary language and the analysis of their status.

The role of communications and information media long has been acknowledged as a key factor in religious controversy. Since the 1970s “cult wars,” new religions scholars have focused considerable attention on how the media communicate, influence and frame public perception of new religious movements. In this article, I briefly survey ways in which constant changes in communications media and consumption require scholars to reassess interaction between the media and new religious movements. Using as a test-case the Church of Scientology’s interaction with Australian “tabloid television” programs in a series of heavily publicized controversies, I outline some traditional journalistic practices and media constraints, identified by scholars, in television coverage of Scientology in Australia. I will introduce a series of additional practices and contingent factors dealing specifically with tabloid television which may assist scholars in assessing the complex relationship between the media and new religions.

The article analyzes the scientific achievements of academician Shora Sarybaev about the language of the press. It deals with opinions on violations of literary norms in the use of incorrect translations, and the use of many variant words and non-literary slang in the Kazakh media are presented. Scientist Sh. Sarybaev analyzes the conclusions about the dynamics of the penetration of new words into the literary language in 1920-30. A number of features of the language of newspapers and magazines of the period of independence are discussed in the article of the scientist Sh. Sarybaev "New applications of the language of the media", written in 1999. The language of the press of the society that supported the only ideology of the Soviet era was written in a literary language, with strict stylistic and spelling norms. However, the scientist Shora Sarybaev noted that there are difficulties with the translation of new foreign words in the media. Difficulties arose to give the correct translation of the neologisms. Given the proliferation of new use cases in periodicals, the scientist considered it prudent to use alternative names in newspapers and magazines along with the keyword before Terminсom approval.

The article considers the problem of functioning in the language of the media of the Russian explanatory structure. The study is based on the results of studying explanatory sentences in Russian syntactic science, which is reflected in the article as a brief history of their study. The study is based on observations of explanatory constructions in the language of various modern media presented on the Internet. As a starting point, it is argued that in order to solve a problem in a media text, it is necessary to distinguish between the text itself and the paratext, as well as the author’s beginning of the text. The study revealed that the explanatory structure acts as the headings of news texts, subheadings of author columns and interview leads. At the same time, news texts found a special type of speech news, the heading of which is an explanatory structure, and the author’s beginning is mainly verbs of speech. The most significant grammatical result is that the media language not only uses the entire repertoire of explanatory constructions known to the literary language, but also forms a number of spe cial constructions based on the reduction of various elements of the modus proposition and even its whole: these are constructions with a omitted modus predicate of the type “Author about the problem”, “author: replica”, as well as a predicative deliberation with interrogative pronouns like who, where, why, what, it is increasingly used as a heading in a number of pub lications. All these reduced constructions meet the conditions of media communication and genre differentiation of media texts. In addition, it has been shown that important textual and grammatical characteristics of the media text are set in the paratext.

Metaphors of family play a particular part in representing and justifying the public role of elite families and media empires in Mexico and the Philippines, two countries on opposite sides of the Pacific that feature linked histories of Spanish colonial heritage and intimate connections to the cultural and economic history of the modern United States. The media industries of Mexico and the Philippines share some important characteristics: powerful commercial television networks are operated by prominent elite family companies, whose multimedia empires wield political and economic influence nationwide. An industry model of elite family dominance is reflected in the ways that contemporary television programs, hosts, and viewers understand themselves as belonging to sorts of ‘television families’. The nature of Mexican and Philippine television industries as family businesses writ large merits more extensive comparative historical exploration. These parallel cases draw attention to how media may be productively compared and studied across the Pacific regions of Asia and the Americas.

Television programs such as animation and drama series from Japan have become common transnational products in Malaysia. Since studies on Malaysians who consume Japanese popular culture are lacking even a decade after its substantial rise in popularity, this qualitative study was designed to explore the media consumption of Japanese popular culture in Malaysia. In this article I examined how Malaysians are interpreting their favorite media texts from Japan specifically revisiting the concepts of “cultural proximity” and “reflexivity” suggested in the other studies of Japanese popular culture and the audience. I conducted in-depth interviews with 12 participants who have been consuming various Japanese popular cultural products over the years, and thematically analyzed transcribed audio-recordings of the interviews. Individual proximity in the particular life stage was found in their favorite media texts, and that was a part of their pleasure in addition to enjoying encountering foreignness, which they did not find or accept in their real lives. Transnational media texts of Japanese popular culture are suggested to be potential materials to reflect upon and discuss the individual proximity in people, social issues, or phenomenon rather than essential “culture” which is often associated with national or ethnic origin.

The article examines a number of issues pertaining to how reality can be discursively presented in media texts. The modern era is characterized by the rapidly increasing influence of the media on the socio-political changes taking place in the world. The media frequently model events and phenomena around us, and this type of activity is associated with actively transforming reality and constructing a new reality, media reality. All this inevitably raises the question how authentically or accurately the world is represented or reflected in the media. In structuralist studies, the representation in the media is not a key problem and thus is only partially touched upon. In critical linguistics, however, where the concept of biased, distorted, prejudiced representation of reality in discourse is introduced, this problem becomes central. The linguistic approach to the analysis of media reality is based on the idea of discursive construal of the world, which derives from the concept of social design of the world. The purpose of the study presented in this article is to examine the names of subjects or attributes associated with the same facts and events but featured in different Internet media. Using the method of comparative analysis of alternative nominations, the author analyzes media texts from Russian, Belarusian, European, and American sites, and the results of the analysis confirm the fact of alternativeness in the reality representation in the media discourse. The theoretical significance of the results lies in confirming the idea that the choice of nomination is directly related to the creation of the “possible world” and thus contributing to the field of cognitive, discursive, and critical linguistics. The practical value of the results lies in their possible introduction into relevant university courses.

The article examines the technology of click-bait headlines, which have become one of the main tools to attract the attention of the media audience, but the public opinion continues to regard them as an unacceptable tabloid technique. Most of the definitions of clickbait contain negative connotations and are not exactly what modern clickbait is. It has evolved significantly: it has become less formulaic, primitive and annoying to the audience, but it has retained its unique advantage of attracting clicks. It is a necessary technology for the media in today's unprecedentedly competitive information market. Throughout the history of the media there has been a competition for audiences and for the best way to attract attention: for example, in the 19th century, the press used the means of sensation, in the 20th century – expressive means on television. But never before has the manner of presenting material played such an important role as it does now. This can be explained by the transition of all traditional media to one competitive platform – the Internet. They all have to compete for audience's time with online media that only exist in e-format, as well as with professional bloggers and ordinary users who also produce content. Creative and appropriate clickbait is designed to help draw the consumer's attention to the information product. This is an effective method in a situation where the competition for consumers' time has reached an unprecedented level. The chances to get a large audience with a headline that does not stand out among others and does not arouse emotion are small. Thus, clickbait has become an integral part of the functioning of most media market participants.

<p><em>The content of television as a public media broadcasts generally present news or social reality eventsyet it seems to be appropriate that the content must be received wisely andcritically. Receiving information without discretion will create a wrong and misleading image of the world, including an overview of multicultural education. Currently, mass media has a significant potential to instill prejudice between religions, cultures, and so on. The media in this case also has social responsibility to the public about the issues of freedom and protection of multicultural educationunderstanding. Therefore to support the theoretical approachof this study, theory about value of multicultural education whichisreinforcedby theory of social media responsibility was taken into account. The results showed thatRagam Indonesia as one of the television programs in Indonesia (in Trans 7) has been presenting shows that could be used as a good start to develop innovations in multicultural communication education, given the impressions of the content in Ragam Indonesia including the aspects of life; economics, religion, tradition, as well as local identities that can be wrapped into national identities as learning material for students, college students, and society. This kind of publication is considered to be very urgent in order to build national identity.</em></p><strong>Key words: </strong><em>Inovation, Multicultural Education, Media, and National Identity</em>
