How can film be operative in the analysis of media discourse?From the point of view of the work of analysis, one thing is the object of study (a piece of press, radio, television or digital based) arriving at the hands of the analyst or the student while finished; another thing is that same object considered referring it to the historical, social and personal context in its genesis. We consider that there is an undeniable addition of value when this happens: given our experience of analysis and teaching, this is what we see that film “does”.We want to bring to the discussion two films: “The Post” (Steven Spielberg, 2017) and “All The President’s Men” (Alan J. Pakula, 1976). From the point of view of the analysis of the discourse of the media, what approximation to space and objects, to the gestation time of journalistic work, to the very physicality of the process do these two films bring? From the point of view of film, since both refer in different ways to the same epoch - one, directly, once is made three years after the narrated events, as is the case of “All The President’s Men ‘; and another as a ‘vintage’ movie, therefore, as a reconstitution, with other objects and other bodies, as is the case of “The Post” - what are the differences between one and the other, from the point of view of representation? What, finally, does film document?

Shock content as a manipulative component of conflict discourseDifficult socio-political situation in Ukraine creates specific media discourse, which in turn gives rise to a number of phenomena, connected to information war categories, war of meanings, hate speech etc. Active entry of military issues into web news content affects traditional approach to the media-text drafting. The report examines the trends of shock visual content and its announcement in the web headlines. The influence of the content emotionalization, which is one of the common features for conflict discourse, not only on text style, but also on features of page making, selection and use of photo illustrations, headline creation, is studied. The material covering military developments usually involve deaths, injuries, loss, destruction of settlements as a result of hostilities, that is, they focus on information on suffering of both military and civilians. This results in stronger integration of shock visual content into the news, which in turn may be used as manipulation and propaganda tool. On the one hand it is used to demonstrate crimes of the enemy, on the other — as an evidence of Ukrainian military success. From the point of view of ethic and humanism the justification of such tactic is doubtful in both cases. However, the study shows that open image of death, blood, injuries in the materials and the announcement of such content in headlines are the cause of high popularity of such publications, and this mainstreams the problem of dehumanizing impact both on material’s subjects and on media audience.

Violence has been a part of daily life in both traditional and digital media. Consequently, neither the existence of violence in the media nor the debates on this subject are new. On the other hand, the presentation of violence in fictional content should be viewed from a different point of view, especially in the context of aesthetization. Within this context, in this chapter, the serial of Penny Dreadful is analyzed. As analyzing method, Tahsin Yücel's model of the “space/time coordinates of narrative” is used. And the subject of “aestheticization of violence” is analyzed through a serial with the elements of person, space, and time. Thus, the role of not only physical beauty but also different components in the aestheticization of violence is examined.

Using the concept of mediatization, in this article, we analyze the relationship between sport and media from a sport-centered perspective. Examining the autobiographies of 14 German and English soccer players, we investigate how athletes use media outlets, what they perceive as the media’s influence and its logic, and—crucially—how this usage and these perceptions affect their own media-related behavior. Our findings demonstrate the important role of the media for the sports systems from the athlete’s point of view and demonstrate the research potential of mediatization as a fruitful concept in studies on sport communication. On the one hand, the sport stars reflect in their autobiographies that their status and income depend on media coverage; and on the other hand, they complain about the omnipresence of the media, especially offside the pitch and feel unfairly treated by the tabloid press, both in England and in Germany.

The article deals with the virtual identity in the media discourse. It states that there must be information for communication to take place, including virtual communication. The object of research is text-generating language tools in Internet linguistics, and the subject is to determine their participation and role in the formation of the text. The realization of virtual communication is carried out in written and oral form of the language. Any language units such as sentences, texts, discourses (written and oral), non-linguistic units (such as graphemes, grapheme combinations, prosodic means, such as syllable stress, intonation, pause, etc.) can be considered a virtual information carrier. Virtual communication participants must use one of these tools in order to have two-way communication in the communication process. It is important to pay attention to the meaning and content of the communication. For virtual communication there must be a text that is formed for a specific purpose. Until recently, in linguistics, an independent and separate sentence was accepted as the last unit of the syntactic level in terms of hierarchical relations. In our opinion, these shortcomings, which exist at the syntactic level, gives a special impetus to the emergence of such a field as textual linguistics. In the modern world of the Internet, at a time when man-made technology is beginning to open the way to all areas of our lives, it is not surprising that a new field of linguistics � Internet linguistics � is developing very rapidly. The language of the Internet is constantly on the move; it is observed and operates in different types of communication. In the 21st century, the study of the Internet language from a systemic and structural point of view is observed. At present, linguists are focusing on the analysis of different expressions of the new media discourse in the various virtual worlds observed in the process of communication. The formation of an anthropocentric scientific paradigm in linguistics leads to the intensification of linguistic trends related to communication problems. It is noteworthy to note that when approaching communication in a semiotic plan, its consideration as an action carried out with the direct participation of linguo-semiotic means is one of the factors that led to the expansion of discourse. The virtual world is a shining example of the transition observed in the modern Internet world (explicit and implicit) on the basis of communication. The Internet is the most remarkable tool created by living things. Its impact on society and the world is undeniable. In this regard, the formation of Internet linguistics should not be considered a coincidence. Internet linguistics plays an important role in studying the influence of the Internet on language, develops under its own name in modern linguistics and forms the means of communication in different languages.

The fundamental objective of the studies was to reconstruct and analyze the category of masculinity in the media discourse that refers to Robert Lewandowski as well as to describe and interpret the most important discursive strategies used in creating the image of the footballer. The research material includes almost 120 Polish-language media messages: mainly Internet articles, commercial spots, and interviews, all of which appeared in the years 2013-2019. This article presents the results of the critical analysis of the discourse, including proposals of the discourse-historical approach. The prime theoretical framework of the studies is made up of the theory of hegemonic masculinity on the one hand and the theory of inclusive masculinity on the other, as well as the concept of caring masculinities. The discourse on Lewandowski is not homogeneous; it includes elements derived from different versions of masculinity. The discourse is divided into two parts: one connected with the professional sphere and the other referring to the private. The strategies describing the footballer’s professional life are quite conservative. The elements of the highest importance within this part of the discourse include hard work, success, rivalry, and the mesomorph body type. The part of the discourse referring to the footballer’s family life is dominated by the strategies connected with the concept of caring masculinities and the notion of egalitarian relationship even though it is not completely free from the traditional gender roles.

The authors analyze the linguo-information model of the country in the modern media discourse of Russia and China. Screening of Russian and Chinese sources uses the method of contextual analysis with an emphasis on the implicit content of the media image of the country, the descriptive method, the method of cultural interpretation, content analysis. Information wars use the image of a country as a starting point in the matrix of media discourse to emphasize the perception of information. The authors propose the concept of a media matrix for understanding the cognitive side of media images of geopolitical topoobjects. The authors substantiate the introduction of the terms linguoinforneme and linguoinformational step into scientific circulation from the point of view of the structure of the matrix of geopolitonyms of the media. The media image of the country in the media discourse is diverse, being realized in evaluative linguistic systems. The authors show what the mythologized / realistic perception of the image of the country is based on, how it is conditioned by the tasks of geopolitics, how it correlates with the strategies of international cooperation and how it affects intercultural communication.

‘American publishers and broadcasters are increasingly exercising self-censorship to avoid costly litigation’ says the editor of Freedom of Information Digest, giving a pessimistic assessment of the situation Despite a strong tradition of press freedom and (especially since Watergate) increasingly aggressive investigative journalism in the USA, the country's libel laws can inhibit journalists and lead to self-censorship. The authors of the two articles that follow examine the effect of libel legislation on the US press — one from a journalist's, the other a lawyer's point of view.

The aim of the article is to analyze selected results of the 2018 survey “Poles and Others after Thirty Years” on attitudes to the arrival of foreigners in Poland and to compare them with the results of analogous studies from 1988 and 1998. The authors suggest that the notion of “foreign” is becoming increasingly definite in the consciousness of Polish society. There is a noticeable decline in openness in regard to more foreigners coming to Poland and an increase in the number of people who are clearly opposed to foreigners. The authors argue that the current attitudes of the respondents could have been influenced, on the one hand, by their personal experiences, which in the last few years have begun to take the form of real (non-abstract) contact with foreigners (immigrants), and on the other hand, by the media discourse related to the migration crisis of 2015. In light of the research, open (inclusive) attitudes toward foreigners can not be reduced to simple yes or no answers but remain related to wider world-outlook complexes reflecting the shape of Polish society, which in recent years has experienced the effects of immigration.

The article considers the problems of cognitive convergence of communication and media studies within the system of values and moral imperatives of Ukrainian identity. The themes «communicative code» and «cultural consumption», presented in the works of historian N. Yakovenko and philosopher J. Habermas, are intellectual meanings. They served as theoretical markers upon which the further research draws. N. Yakovenko defined the communicative code and its connection with cultural memory. She believes that the media play a leading role in the emergence of communication codes today. Habermas’s living philosophy interprets topical issues of journalism and communication. His philosophical paradigm is close to the tasks solved by media and communication. The study’s aim is to show how the intellectual meanings generated by historians, philosophers, and writers in synergy with journalism and communication studies are further updated, while considering modern media discourse. The tasks arising from the outlined aim have been solved through the interpretation of the synergistic circles of J. Habermas, D. McQuail, N. Yakovenko, V. Kulyk, and G. Pocheptsov. Their theoretical reflections and media handlings and communication constructs of complex cultural projects, restoring the national identity. In this study a method of comparative analysis was used for tracing communicative ideas, their theoretical formation and manifestation in media texts. The method of generalization was used for conclusions. The newspaper «Day», the online newspaper «Ukrayinska Pravda», the magazine «The Ukrainian Week» and its online version among Ukrainian media most often appeal to the philosophers and philosophy. From our point of view J. Habermas warns in his scientific conclusions’ successors from mistakes in the development of civil society, which will be formed in the innovative digital environment. Our conclusion will be following: for a high-quality training of specialists in journalism and communication, it is necessary to deepen their intellectual potential. The creation of a new universal learning platform for students who have chosen journalism and social communications should be based on knowledge of politics and morality, on the ability to form the worldview assessments. This is a response to the challenge of time: to join the formation of a new type of elite, the demand for which dominates in Ukrainian society at the beginning of the 21st century.
