Based on the results of the sociological research of the mass media of the Ural region and a survey of journalists, the authors analyze the degree and forms of involvement in this process. As a result, it is concluded that the creative competence of journalists of convergent editions at the same time with good reason can be attributed to the number of system-forming qualities that characterize the factors of development and efficiency of the media as a whole.В условиях трансформации большинства социальных институтов и повсеместной цифровизации контента значимым фактором сохранения конкурентных преимуществ традиционных массмедиа является развитие их конвергентных возможностей, предс...

In these conditions, the methods of organizing the work of the mass media have also changed. Since the number of newsbreaks has decreased, and communication with interviewees and experts is increasingly taking place remotely, this affects the quality of information products. Journalists are often forced to switch to remote work and freelancing, but they remain representatives of a profession with increased risks of infection. The latest practice shows that as a result, the quality of created information products often declined. There were also financial losses because advertisers refused to cooperate with media that were losing their audience. The authors conducted an expert survey of employees of several editorial offices in order to analyze exactly how their work has changed during the pandem...

The next round of this issue’s related narrative is centred around the vaccination against COVID-19.

Although the non-staff journalists existed even in Soviet times, the latest practice has given impetus to the transformation of the essence of the activities of this kind of information actors. Today, freelancing is somewhat not just a way of earning money, but also a life philosophy, which acquires additional significance in the media environment due to the increased social responsibility that characterizes the profession of a journalist.

According to the research, in the era of post-literacy and widespread digitalisation, systemic flaws in the organisation of dialogue between the authorities and the wider Russian population have become visible. By updating the tasks of improving media education and "accumulation" of digital capital, the authors offer the essential elements of a model for developing the creative environment for regional journalism.

It was confirmed that journalists can foster the inclusion of representatives of this social group, first of all, by regularly telling about events with their participation, in order to make people with disabilities feel like full-fledged members of the society. A number of recommendations were also given on the basis of the results of the study and the opinion of an authoritative expert.

Research paper thumbnail of Digital Amnesia of the Youth Mass Media Audience and Ways of Its Overcoming

The empirical basis for this article was formed by the results of sociological research obtained by the authors in the framework of the project "Digitalization of communicative-cultural memory and the problems of its intergenerational transmission" conducted in 2018-2020. Young people in the digital age not only face drastic changes in media practices but also the development of factors affecting the formation of communicative-cultural memory of various societies representatives. This makes it possible to identify some methods of preserving the role of the most important social institution by journalism, as well as the formation of meaningful components of mass media activity under conditions of permanent social and technological transformation. Several conclusions have been drawn from the system analysis. Firstly, the need to introduce the notion of 'functional media literacy' into the theory of communication. Secondly, it is possible to overcome digital amnesia by increasing the number of multimedia products of mass media of various subjects. As an example, the Russian Digital project "1968", created specifically for smartphones and addressed primarily to the generation Y. evoked a wide public response, and this project offers a method to present and promote specific events, facts and phenomena in the form of multimedia stories. The use of the project materials in university pedagogical practice is one of the most effective ways of interaction with a young audience. Thirdly, the study confirms the hypothesis that a method of information selection focused on sensationalism, discontinuity and conflict is not typical for students as consumers of media products. For most of this demogrpahic, the mass media act as a cognitive and ideological phenomenon that primarily assumes a dialogical relationship between the communicator and communicants. This allows us to conclude that digital amnesia as a form of psychological dependence arises in representatives of this audience group most often when the media discourse lacks intellectual and emotional involvement.

Новизна проведённого авторами исследования обусловлена общественной потребностью в изучении роли и выделении идентификационных ресурсов современных массмедиа в организации межпоколенческой коммуникации в цифровой среде. Цель работы-в опоре на классические труды и методологию Я. Ассмана и М. Халбвакса разработать частные методики исследования трансформации коммуникативно-культурной памяти и способов её трансляции в современных условиях; а также, используя результаты исследования информационной среды макрорегиона Большой Урал, проведённого в 2013-2019 годы, доказать, что в центре внимания журналистов и исследователей конвергентных массмедиа должны быть не только проблемы развития и совершенствования технологий, принципов, правил и норм общения с аудиторией, но и коммуникативной и культурной памяти. Это позволяет представителям различных российских социумов даже в условиях постоянно растущих объёмов информационных потоков сохранять свою идентичность. Выделенные авторами основания системного описания мультимедийных возможностей традиционных и новых СМИ как медиаторов коммуникативно-культурной памяти определяют продуктивный подход к оценке эффективности массмедиа цифровой эпохи в данном направлении. В статье системно представлены результаты дискуссий и широкого обсуждения новой парадигмы, ставящей концепт актуальных для человека или того или иного социума «воспоминаний» в центр подхода по осмыслению изменений, совершающихся в науках об обществе и культуре. Авторы пришли к выводу, что трансформации информационной сферы во взаимосвязи с коммуникативно-культурной памятью как одной из основ данного процесса выводят на первый план задачу формирования и развития профессиональной культуры субъектов информационной деятельности.

However, the digital age has created new requirements for the daily work of journalists and other media actors. Freelancing is one of the actively developing trends. According to surveys, media professionals find many advantages to this lifestyle, and the main ones are flexible hours and freedom from the confines of one specific workplace. However, freelance writers often set their own moral and ethical boundaries. The legal and social statuses of media freelancers also remain unclear. The authors analyzed the Accountable Journalism site, which is one of the world’s largest databases of journalistic ethics codes. The project contains more than 400 codes, of which 38 codes cover freelancing issues, and another three codes contain norms on the activities of bloggers. In addition, the current Russian legislation on the status of a freelance journalist was used, as well as data from sociol...

One of the main advantages of this process is the factor of individual development.«Так ли архаичны сегодня печатные СМИ?

This article reviewed the problem of deheroization of the image of a terrorist in modern mass media. Since the media today operate in a constantly updated digital space, the authors have tried to develop an algorithm of deheroization. In this regard, the sequence of creative operations is analyzed and presented, for a journalist or another subject of information activity is able to deprive a terrorist or a criminal group of a hero halo and any other aspects of solidarity with them. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research was scientific works devoted to the problems of counter-terrorism activities and the role of the mass media in its implementation. The empirical basis of the study was the thematic monitoring of 112 texts that covered the resonant terrorist acts of 2016–2021. Comparative analysis and secondary data analysi...

This phenomenon as one of the fundamental subsystems of culture, based on the results of sociological research, is considered in the context of the implementation of value, training and educational functions. Reading is not merely a process of consumption of a certain kind of information, it is not just a technology of interiorization of texts and an essential resource of communicative and cultural memory, but also a factor that largely determines the general and historical culture of a generation, and as a result, the cost of the products materialized by it, left to descendants. The highlighted intergenerational contradictions/gaps, as proved, show that reading in the era of post-literacy should be the most important resource for the formation and development of the communicative and cultur...

In this paper, the concept of studying the specifics of digital communication between the older (... more In this paper, the concept of studying the specifics of digital communication between the older (analogue) and younger (digital) generations in Russia is proposed. The process of communication opens up the possibility of a perception of communicative and cultural memory by the digital generation, which is in the process of socialization and awareness of cultural identity. We suggest methodological development and the testing of research methods into the transformation of communicative and cultural memory and ways of its transmission from the analogue to the digital generation of Russians. The proposed scientific and practical concept assumes the development of three basic directions. The first is related to the study of the general process of transformation of syncretic communicative and cultural memory in the digital environment. The second involves the study and modelling of media texts. Addressing the strategies of organizing multimedia narration and linguistic and statistical pe...
