The globalization of the modern information world has led to the adoption of media culture in virtually all areas of human life – manufacturing, the public sphere, education, communication, and the arts. Media connections are formed between all social structures, countries, different communities. It is through mass communication that the process of rooting values and behaviors that dominate society at a certain time takes place. In the proposed article, the author argues that at the present stage particular importance is gained by the involvement of an individual in the media culture in the context of preparing young people to interact with the complex information world. It is determined that these processes are important for the professional training of translators, because very often they are representatives of contemporary Ukrainian culture in the world. It is proved that the training of modern specialists requires from them mastering of a whole range of competences - from traditional language to modern information ones. This is justified by the fact that future translation specialists must have up-to-date information technologies in order to ensure high-level translation activities. The modern standards of higher professional pedagogical education mark that the graduating students of pedagogical educational establishments must be aware of the methods of search, treatment and use of information; be able her to interpret and adapt addressees in accordance with queries. The marked intercommunications of mediaeducation and professional preparation of future translator are examined as important constituents of his/her professional competence. Analytical activity of a future translator in relation to mediatext provides for : finding out of conformities to law of construction of mediatext on the whole; immersion in logic of the authorial thinking; reconstruction of conception to the author of a mediatext; determination of the own point of view in relation to a concrete work of mediaculture. Theoretical preparation of future translators in the context of tasks of mediaeducation necessarily includes different questions in relation to co-operation of medias of the world in the society, theory and history of mediaculture. An informative supply in industry of theory and history of mediaeducation will form the ground not only for successful communicative practice in industry of medias, but also for creation of the own programs of educational orientation medias in the future process of independent pedagogical work at school. The specificity of professional training of future translators in pedagogical institutions of higher learning predetermines the special attention to the development of professional knowledge and abilities that teachers need for perfecting their own pedagogical culture. Such professional knowledge and abilities can be marked by such indexes: motivational (reasons of mediaeducational activity; aspiring to perfecting one’s own knowledge of media); informative (a level of being informed; pedagogical knowledge of the media industry); methodical (methodical abilities in the sphere of mediaeducation); activity (quality of medias of educational activity); creativity (a level of the creative elements in media educational activity). Translator that received media education in an institution of higher learning will be able: to encourage students, develop a desire to formulate the problem questions concerning media; use in teaching the research methodology aimed at the organization of independent search of information in media by students for substantiating certain questions; help students to develop skills in relation to the use of various sources of mediainformation; organize discussions in the process of students’ learning to listentolerantlyand tactfully to othersand to express their own opinion. Development of pedagogical terms of application of mediaeducation in the process of professional training of future translators at the initial stage requires the study of the real practice of intercommunication of modern student youth and mediaculture.

Abstract The Wukan Incident attracted extensive attention both in China and around the world, and has been interpreted from many different perspectives. In both the media and academia, the focus has very much been on the temporal level of the Incident. The political and legal dimensions, as well as the implications of the Incident in terms of human rights have all been pored over. However, what all of these discussions have overlooked is the role played by religious force during the Incident. The village of Wukan has a history of over four hundred years, and is deeply influenced by the religious beliefs of its people. Within both the system of religious beliefs and in everyday life in the village, the divine immortal Zhenxiu Xianweng and the religious rite of casting shengbei have a powerful influence. In times of peace, Xianweng and casting shengbei work to bestow good fortune, wealth and longevity on both the village itself, and the individuals who live there. During the Wukan Incident, they had a harmonizing influence, and helped to unify and protect the people. Looking at the specific roles played by religion throughout the Wukan Incident will not only enable us to develop a more meaningful understanding of the cultural nature and the complexity of the Incident itself, it will also enrich our understanding, on a divine level, of innovations in social management.

The goal of the present study is to demonstrate the media-aesthetic potential of infographic messages on particular cases. This can be done due to an integrated approach to the analysis of the visual content of media content. That indicates the case study method implementation as well as description and generalization. The theoretical basis of the research is represented by scientific studies of various directions. That includes the history of media and visual media culture; features of the concepts of media culture and media language, media aesthetics; infographics as a tool of media language. The empirical basis of the study is journalistic materials containing infographic content of such publications as by RIA Novosti (ria.ru), TASS (tass.ru). The examples of visual image implementation in the transmission of information — media content containing infographics — are given and analyzed. Considering media aesthetics as the formation of a sensory perception of the proposed media content, the author turns to the philosophical and aesthetic foundations of visual practices in the media and post-humanistic trends in journalism. As a result of the analysis of the theoretical and practical basis of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that today the role of the media aesthetic component of messages is most relevant. And infographics, as the connecting link of language and consciousness, is its most striking tool.

FEMEN embodies many ambiguities as a feminist group using its members' bare breasts to inscribe messages and attract media attention. Now settled in France, a context wherein the women’s movement has a long history of activism and theory, these ambiguities are particularly visible through strong criticism from feminist figures. In this article, I argue that FEMEN actions are both beneficial and detrimental to feminism as they present the media with eroticized militant women while empowering such representations of women. In the vein of popfeminism and girl power media culture, FEMEN contributes to a transformation of contemporary feminist activism in continuity with feminist claims to agency, and in rupture with feminist criticisms of neoliberal commodification of women.

Between the mid-1920s and the early 1930s German photojournalism experienced a profound, far-reaching upheaval. Up until this time, the illustrated mass media had favoured the reproduction of single photos, but during this brief period the photo-essay rose to prominence. Photographs and texts were integrated into a new, complex narrative unity: photoreportage. This article aims to reconstruct the historical conditions under which modern photo-reportage arose during the Weimar Republic. It will also revise certain accepted judgements about the history of photojournalism between the world wars. The development of modern photojournalism has until now been identified almost exclusively with the achievements of individual protagonists, mainly prominent photographers. Although these individuals played an important role in the production process of photoreportage, they were rarely consulted regarding editorial questions and layout. In order to better understand the economic development of photoreportage and its growth as a medium, it is necessary to examine the editorial work being done behind the scenes at the magazines and newspapers of the time. This article will therefore focus more on the development of the media and economic macrostructures at play in the emergence and growth of photo-reportage, and less on individual photographers’ contributions and photojournalistic output. It ultimately shows that the consolidation of modern photo-reportage was the result of closely connected media-related and social developments, commercial strategies and aesthetic decisions that went far beyond the agency of individuals.

This themed issue of MIA highlights the complex nature of evolving, emerging, mediated public spheres in India, a large, imperfect democracy that is home to the most diverse mediated public spheres anywhere in the world. The history of the public sphere in India has followed a trajectory that is very different from – even at odds with – the history of this sphere as described by Habermas.
