The relevance of the topic of trust is because, in the modern world, the media have a huge impact on public consciousness. Based on what people have heard in the news, read on the Internet, a definite opinion is formed on this or that issue. That is why a person is simultaneously exposed to different sides of such media like television, newspapers, broadcast media. It is not easy to navigate and understand the huge flow of information since a person does not always have the opportunity to check the material's reliability. Most often, after receiving information, a person perceives it as the only correct one, which contributes to the formation of false ideas that have nothing to do with the truth.The constant increase in the volume of information and its sources (in particular, the Internet) raises the question of trust in information. The focus of attention is the very existence of this phenomenon, its relationship with various factors, the relationship between trust in information and broader concepts.During the experiment, the authors revealed that the properties of the information that determine its reliability have a specific hierarchy of significance depending on the type of information. The more important the information is for the user, the more significant is its reliability for trusting it. Once the information's importance decreases, its credibility is determined by several properties of the information. The authors determined which sources users trust most and least and made a user's portrait with the most developed critical thinking.The results obtained can be used to develop a program to increase audience confidence in online media and to develop a program to form a more critical audience attitude to information. The obtained results on trust in information and its socio-psychological factors are based on the key methodological principles of psychological science and supplement the existing knowledge on the issues of trust and distrust concerning information in electronic mass communication.

Changes in language are largely a process of loosening the old norm and gradually creating a new one. It is believed that the media contribute to the preservation of the norm and the maximum slowdown of changes. Newspapers and magazines fix the graphic appearance of the word, and radio and television — sound. Together they set grammatical, syntactic and other patterns, which guides the people who read and listen to them. The author of the article studied the speech features of the interview genre in modern Tatar journalism. Namely 3012 fragments were analysed and the following conclusions were made: due to the interview genre, phonetic, morphological, lexical, syntactic, orthoepic enrichment of the language occurs; many modern elements borrowed from the Internet are used in print magazines in the Tatar language; there is a tendency to reduce words, use abbreviations, typed language constructions, phraseological units, borrowings, terms, professionalisms, dialectisms, slang expressions, and it is also observed that in different printed publications in the Tatar language, different variants of using common terms are offered in interviews.

The paper analyzes the speech structure of the media sphere and determines the place of theater speech practices. The main characteristic of media text, which determines its ontology, is utilitarianism — direct and spontaneous involvement in the general activities of society. The media text is always connected with the time and place of its publication, with the specific coordinates of social space-time. At the time of publication it has the communicative status of the real-time text. With the increase in the time span separating the time of publication of the text from the time of its reading, the communicative status of the media text changes, it becomes the text of the past tense. The main components of the media sphere (in the communicative environment of both traditional media and the Internet) are the speech practice of the media, aimed at forming and maintaining the stability of public consciousness, speech practice of advertising, marketing, PR, GR. This set is open. Analysis of the theatre speech practice provides the basis for referring theatrical speech to the sphere of media speech. Several types of theatrical speech have been identified based on the specifics of the use of semiotic systems and the degree of immediacy of the relation to the audience: the polycode scenic speech of the actor at the moment of his interaction with the audience; speech of actor, director, screenwriter, broadcast in the communicative environment of the media and the Internet. The basis for the analysis is the Russian drama as well as the performances of Erwin Piskator, the creator of the "Political Theatre" movement in Germany in the 20th century. It analyzes the director's approaches to the search for dramatic material, the methods of organizing theatrical time and space, the special relationship between the actor and the viewer, and non-traditional principles of casting performers.

The article presents the data of two research projects - European Values Study (EVS) and sociological monitoring of the information field of the Republic of Belarus conducted by the Centre for Sociological and Political Studies of the Belarusian State University. The authors make the following conclusions: the basic values of the Belarusians are quite similar to the values of other European countries; the values of the Belarussians have developed for centuries under the influence of the key events in the European history; the values of society change slowly and can be transformed only in the life cycle of at least two generations; changes in the basic values are impossible under any external or internal pressure. Any attempts to quickly change value preferences of the people under pressure usually lead to the accumulation of negative moods and finally to social upheavals. Contemporary technologies open wide opportunities for informational violence and manipulation of public consciousness. The informational impact of the traditional media and the Internet (including social media) became one of the main factors affecting the structure and content of individual value orientations. The media create the sustainable intellectual background that determines the individual perception and subsequent behavioral response to events in the country and the world. The changing everyday reality forms a new value matrix, and the media become the key technological player due to the new information-communication possibilities.

The dilemma between war and peace has often created continuous debates among many people even though their countries are not involved in the act of war. What they see on television or read on the Internet and in the newspapers are enough to incite emotions and feelings. Some took to the streets and joined street demonstrators who demonstrate against the act of aggression and war in certain countries. While others, would be glued to the television or the Internet, following minute details on the act of war and silently condemning the perpetrators of war. There are also groups of individuals who are indifferent to what is happening around them. In other words, people react to war news in many ways. Moreover with the potential of the mass media to provide neutral and objective reporting of war and peace, one may ask, how do the media perform in times of conflicts and war. Based on a survey of the Malaysian audience, this paper tries to dwell into how the people of a non-warring country like Malaysia, perceives the act of war. To what extent do they see the role of the media in propagating peace and how do they conceptualise the notion of Peace Journalism.

Barbaric, savage, horrific-these were terms to define the decision of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to murder its captured Jordanian pilot by burning him alive inspired a thesaurus of horror and revulsion. The men who did it, the perpetrators were described by the media as mad men, thugs, monsters. To most of the people, the act itself seemed inexplicable and without sense. However, behind the choreographed and videotaped violence lies a calculated horrible cold logic. Although, ISIS is often portrait as a mighty force on the ground in Syria and Iraq, facts state that they control mainly communications between various provinces in both countries, and, as most guerrilla armies, are militarily weak by conventional measure. ISIS has little or almost none defense against the bombing campaign that is facing now, while US has formed a coalition that is confronting them on the ground as well, after President Barack Obama published the “New Security Doctrine” which includes degrading and finally destroying ISIS. ISIS, however, have proven to be very organized in promoting dramatic acts of violence against their enemies and promoting them two achieve two goals: use terror tactics as a psychological weapon against all those facing them and all those that are to face them in combat. Secondly, through usage of social network platforms to promote killings and executions, the aim of ISIS is to encourage recruits from out of Syria and Iraq, and elsewhere, to join them in their cause. Online operations of ISIS fall under a production group called the Al Hayat Media Center. The Center was created to seduce Westerners into joining the ranks of ISIS and also to distribute propaganda through social and media platforms. It is difficult to assess the success of this operation, but solid sources provided by US military and intelligence estimate that at least 300 Americans are fighting in the ranks of ISIS (at least two Americans have been killed fighting for ISIS in Iraq/Syria region) while the number of Europeans is in thousands. The US Response to this psychological kind of warfare came when President Barack Obama established the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC) aiming to combat terrorist propaganda. The main strategy of CSCC is not directly to confront ISIS operatives, but rather than that to deal with the people they are trying to recruit. Now, with almost entire international public opinion on their side, it is time for US to more actively respond to ISIS especially in the manner of psychological warfare since it is obvious that operations of “winning hearts and minds” of people in Iraq and Syria are not enough compared to ruthless tactics of ISIS which “winning hearts and minds” by brute force, terror, and vivid violent images. The online propaganda war is a new component to conflicts of 21st century that allows enemies to reach one another’s home fronts directly. ISIS might seem not so strong on the ground but it has captured one fundamental flaw of the media of 21st century-the one that bad news is always good news and that televised violence will always have an audience. ISIS has proclaimed that its goal is to create a caliphate of 21st century but its psychological warfare and propaganda is inspiring individuals throughout the West to commit horrible terrorist crimes. Could this be another mind game set up by ISIS, it remains to be seen. However one thing is for certain, US and its allies must tackle ISIS not only by planes and other military means, but also by a strategy that would eliminate its influence in spreading their propaganda.
