О Розанове как публицисте. Рецензия на: Казакова Н.Ю. «Розанов не был двуличен, он был двулик…»: Василий Розанов – публицист и полемист. – М.: РГГУ, 2021. – 238 с.

The essay examines the latest book by Natalia Yurievna Kazakova «“Rozanov was not hypocritical, he was two-faced...”: Vasily Rozanov as Publicist and Polemicist», published in 2022 by Russian State University for the Humanities. Kazakova's book is both a study of insufficiently explored aspects of Vasily Rozanov's journalistic work and a survey (with the aim of providing an initial introduction to the subject) of his persona as a journalist, and also includes a carefully commented publication of Rozanov's letters to S.P. Kablukov, dated October-November 1918 (and now preserved in the Bakhmeteff Archive at Columbia University, New York). In addition to the appendix (in which the letters to Kablukov are published), the book consists of an introduction, a conclusion, and four chapters. The first chapter deals with general characteristics of Rozanov as a journalist; the author presents a kind of «parallel biography» of Rozanov and A.S. Suvorin, and describes Rozanov's relationship with the editors of “Russkoe Slovo”, the second major national newspaper after “Novoe Vremya”; Rozanov was associated with “Russkoe Slovo” for a long time, but not publicly (unlike his cooperation with “Novoe Vremya”). The following two chapters are organized chronologically: the second chapter analyzes the significance of his ideological predecessors for Rozanov (A.S. Khomyakov, N.N. Strakhov, and K.N. Leontiev) and Rozanov's first great debates (with N.K. Mikhailovsky and V.S. Solovyov), and in the third chapter the author considers Rozanov’s polemics with his contemporaries, where Rozanov appears as an «equal value». The final chapter is devoted to Rozanov's interpretation of various themes related to 19th-century Russian literature and describes his general perception of Russian classical literature and its complete image that Rozanov creates. The book concludes with a brief thoughtful analysis of Rozanov's “Apocalypse...”, in which he summarizes the main themes of his entire publicist and philosophical

Importing a new outgroup? Foreign right-wing alternative media coverage of Black Lives Matter: The case of Resett1

This explorative study analyses the Norwegian right-wing alternative media outlet Resett’s extensive coverage of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in the United States – not a traditional enemy of the European far right. It discusses and suggests explanations of the puzzling phenomenon of an ideological and media actor in a very different part of the world becoming politically invested in an internal American conflict. This research finds that Resett is strongly biased against BLM, disproportionally tying BLM to law and order issues and framing it as a threat. Resett portrays BLM as an extremist organization that attacks Trump supporters. Moreover, Resett, itself relying on American right-wing media for information, claims that mainstream media is not telling the truth about BLM. I suggest that future research should explore if interest in American politics and support for the American (far) right is something that influences the journalistic work of non-American right-wing alternative media.

PLACE OF YOUTH SLANG AND BANTER IN THE LEXICAL SYSTEM OF MODERN ENGLISH AND UKRAINIAN LANGUAGES

Objective. The objective of the article is to study the features of youth slang and banter and their place in modern language systems; to investigate the specificity of the translation of youth slang and banter into Ukrainian from English and vice versa. Methods. The need to consider the formation of interactive relations between youth slang and banter in English and Ukrainian languages has led to recourse to the methods of historical and analytical approach, as well as analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the problems of youth slang and banter. Results. Youth slang is an integral part of expressive vocabulary and serves to enrich and diversify the process of communication, works of literature, reports and journalistic works. Already at the beginning of the research, it was clear that this is a special vocabulary that not everyone understands, therefore, for the sake of an effective comparative analysis in English and Ukrainian languages, the main difficulties of translating youth slang and banter were first of all solved and considered. This is a rather important stage, because in order to move on to the main ways of education, it is necessary to correctly translate this or that slang expression. Having researched and presented an analysis of various scientific works and opinions on this matter, we learned that this branch of linguistics has been and continues to be of interest to many researchers. They described slang vocabulary from different angles, trying to analyze the origin, distribution, representatives and conditions of distribution. When writing, it was found that, in addition to the ways of formation acceptable for linguistics, one should rely on the emergence of social groups, because they are the beginners who lay the foundation for the creation of jargonisms. The obtained results also have given us an understanding that jargon is gaining popularity among all strata of the population and because of this, it is often used without even understanding the meaning of what is said or written. But on the other hand, in some spheres of distribution, it acts as an effective and even necessary means of communication. The topic was not chosen by chance, a large number of examples and a wide field of distribution provided an opportunity to investigate the initial stages of the formation of jargonisms. In addition, we paid attention to neoplasms in this area. Observation shows that any lexical structure of the language is a dynamic organism. It is constantly in need of development, rejects outdated units and accepts new ones. Having characterized the examples related to the new phenomena of the world scale, we made sure that the slang vocabulary is capable of changes and transformations. Having analysed the jargon of Oxford and Kyiv-Mohyla Academy students, we can draw conclusions about vocabulary in both languages. First of all, a comparative analysis of different ways of formation in English and Ukrainian languages was carried out. We singled out the main methods and, based on examples, provided certain statistics regarding the composition of methods (in percentage) in both analysed languages. Moreover, the results showed a tendency towards the spread of one or another path in certain social groups. Another important issue was the study of the appropriateness of the use of jargon. As the study showed, when submitting certain literary works, periodicals, journalistic articles and materials for public review, it is necessary to monitor not only the quantity and quality of this vocabulary, but also the topic where it will look appropriate. After all, in pursuit of popularity and attractiveness, authors often oversaturate the text. Sometimes it causes dissatisfaction in the reader, and sometimes even disgust. Understanding that modern Ukrainian literature is filled with so much youth slang and banter gave us the opportunity to make an in-depth analysis, illustrated with samples taken from the works. Considering everything analysed above, we note that we encounter jargon in everyday life almost every day. Currently, it is used in many areas and we can now clearly define the signs of its use, formation and distribution.

Mastery of information technology and strengthening collaboration between editors and marketing: Local media strategies for surviving during Covid-19 pandemic

There was a global pandemic with the emergence of the Covid-19 virus from 2019 until 2022. The pandemic affected all aspects of life, including the press/media world. Media crews had been facing tough challenges during the midst of a pandemic situation. Journalists were required to do work in the field to produce quality content. The business division was required to continue to generate revenue for the company in order to produce quality journalistic works. On the other hand, they had to protect themselves from contracting the plague while carrying out their duties with all the challenges and risks. Since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, local media revenue has continued to fall. Newspaper sales dwindled, advertising sales slumped, events could not run. While operational costs were not reduced but instead increased. Local media also had to struggle with their own strategies to survive. Mastery of information technology to strengthen collaboration between the editorial department and the marketing department was the key to succeed

Russian-Bashkir schools in the Orenburg Province in the post-reform period

The paper analyzes the number, composition and major problems in the work of Russian-Bashkir schools in the Orenburg province in the second half of the 19th early 20th centuries The analysis has been carried out on the basis of unpublished sources from the funds of the Joint State Archive of the Orenburg Region and published sources of zemsky records, as well as a number of scientific and journalistic works of the post-reform period. The connection between the development of this segment of the educational system and the theoretical study of the Bashkir language by Russian linguists is shown. The author has come to the conclusion that with time the priority in the system of Russian-Bashkir schools in the Orenburg province was the full development of their graduates in the Russian language, which required, paradoxically enough, more attention to the study of their native (Bashkir) language. The paper proves that the Congress of directors and inspectors of national schools of the Orenburg school district, which took place in Ufa in 1912, initiated a reform of the Russian-Bashkir non-Russian educational system aimed at the integration of teaching in Russian and Bashkir languages within the single curriculum. It is shown that since the establishment of the Orenburg zemstvo in 1913 the issues of non-Russian education were in the focus of its attention. The study also shows the resistance to the processes of Tatarization in Russian-Bashkir schools at the level of regional administration of the system of non-Russian education.

Popularisation of Science and Science Journalism on Social Media in Slovakia

This study focuses on the presentation and interpretation of scientific information and data by Slovak creators on the social platform Instagram. Media content presented on social media often becomes problematic, as popular science posts are more in an entertaining than scientific form. It happens that popular science content is presented inaccurately, without deeper context. In addition, scientific misinformation and misleading information appears, which can pose a danger to audience members who trust such information. Science journalism has found its place not only in traditional media, but also on social media platforms, where problematic information on scientific topics goes viral and achieves a high level of user interaction. In an unregulated or under-regulated social networking environment, it is also more difficult for users to discern the credibility and relevance of the information presented, especially when referring to existing scientific studies or authorities. However, data from these sources may be taken out of context, interpreted in a misleading way or accompanied by completely fabricated or distorted conclusions. Such false scientific content undermines confidence in objective science journalism and discredits the work of science journalists. Several digital tools are now available that can help readers distinguish real scientific information from false information. Critical thinking, media literacy and scientific literacy are key skills that can be used to detect manipulative techniques and navigate the issue of false media content. In this paper, we therefore clarify the importance of media, scientific and information literacy skills to help identify misinformation in media content related to science and research.

Women’s Theme in the Works by V. S. Solovyov

The article is devoted to the consideration of the views of the philosopher Vladimir Solovyov on the nature of a woman and her place in society. The purpose of the study is to reveal Solovyov’s position in relation to a woman, her essence, relationship with a man, family and society, as well as to demonstrate the attitude of the Russian philosopher to the women’s movement. The relevance of the study is due to the low level of knowledge of the positions of Russian philosophers in general and Solovyov in particular in resolving issues raised by the women’s feminist movement. Hermeneutic, comparative and comparative historical methods were used for analyzing philosophical works, literary and journalistic works of the philosopher. The author of the article shows that Solovyov’s reflections on the Divine Sophia, Eternal Femininity, the image of the Beautiful Lady does not prevent the philosopher from unequivocally rejecting the idea of female emancipation, education, paid professions. The female ideal created by the philosopher is a vivid example of a feminine image, represented by a man and reflecting masculine ideas about the nature of a woman. A specific woman as a bearer of the Divine Sophia is called by Solovyov the keeper of a religious secret, but at the same time she is deindividualized, depersonalized. Speaking of a woman as a mediator between the earthly world and the heavenly world, the philosopher emphasizes the secondary nature of her nature, functional complementarity in relation to a man.The author comes to the conclusion that V. Solovyov did not accept the idea of a woman’s independence and her desire for liberation from male control. The article shows that Solovyov is inclined to a negative assessment of a real woman, speaks negatively about the feminist movement and those ladies who actively defend their rights.

Arabic Romanticists on the Form and Content of the Poem

Arab romanticists touched on important issues related to art and literature in their artistic works or journalistic works. Their views on the relationship between the form and content of the poem were new. They fought against the form and content of classical Arabic verse and tried to renew Arabic literature based on Western literature. They advocated unity of form and content. The attitude of the Arab romantics towards the theme, rhythm, measures and verse line - Beit - was a novelty. They demanded to write a poem, regardless of its size, on one topic, rejected the necessity of writing a poem with one rhyme and one meter as legalized by classical Arabic poetry, etc. Sh.

Becoming a Target: Journalists’ Perspectives on Anti-Press Discourse and Experiences with Hate Speech

ABSTRACT In many parts of the world, journalists work in increasingly hostile environments. To better understand the characteristics and implications of hostility against the press in a hybrid regime, this study explores how journalists in Serbia perceive and experience anti-press hate speech. Based on 20 interviews with diverse reporters, we describe hate speech against journalists as an ad hominem attack triggered by the very nature of journalistic conduct. We discuss two identified mechanisms of hate speech propagation. The first, machinery of hate speech, refers to orchestrated attacks on independent journalists by ruling party officials, pro-government news outlets, and troll armies. In contrast, the lone-wolf-haters mechanism refers to authentic and sporadic expressions of hate by extreme partisan audiences to which all journalists are susceptible, regardless of their affiliation. Describing their personal experiences, the participants report various responses to encountering hate speech, ranging from immediate emotions to less immediate psychological reactions to physical health problems. To prevent hateful acts from interfering with their journalistic performance, they rely on a variety of coping strategies and mechanisms, including psychological and professional strategies, as well as social and institutional support.

‘No, buddy, I will not speak to the press – I am working!’: criminal justice and the interprofessional dynamics of communication production in the Chilean Public Prosecutorial Office

AbstractThis article analyses the interprofessional dynamics of communication production in the criminal justice system. Through 26 in‐depth interviews, we investigate the production of media information on prosecutorial work in Chile, tracking the relationships between internal communication agents, prosecutors, and external legal journalists. Previous scholarship has shown the success of police organizations in defining the content of crime communication based on asymmetrical power relations with the media. By contrast, our study reveals that legal journalists can bypass attempts to control the flow of information from the prosecutorial office and impose extra‐organizational goals. Lawyers regularly dismiss the work of journalists, particularly those working as strategic communication advisors with prosecutors, but the asymmetrical relationship between the criminal justice agency and the media plays in favour of external legal journalists. Our article considers several explanations for this configuration, including interprofessional values, transactional relationships between journalists and prosecutors, and local legal culture.

Оцінка й переосмислення роботи журналістів в умовах війни за незалежність України

Роль журналістів, фотокореспондентів, операторів, блогерів-очевидців, фіксерів – усіх тих героїчних медійників, які прагнуть донести правду світові про російську агресію – неоціненна. Мова піде про тих українських та закордонних журналістів, які акредитовані українською владою, зокрема Міністерством оборони України, а не російськими інституціями чи адміністраціями на захоплених і невизнаних світовою спільнотою територіях.
 Статтю присвячено журналістам (як українським, так і закордонним), які, по-перше, виконують свій професійний обовʼязок і висвітлюють хід війни за незалежність України; по-друге, виконують громадянський обовʼязок і захищають рідну землю від московської орди зі зброєю в руках. Актуальність такої наукової публікації продиктована метою дослідження (потребою оцінки й переосмислення роботи представників журналістського корпусу в екстремальних умовах ведення бойових дій), завданнями (віддати шану загиблим за свободу й демократію в Україні, закарбувати в памʼяті українців імена журналістів – жертв і героїв війни), новизною (у науковому ракурсі поки що дуже мало публікацій саме про журналістів на війні в Україні, наймасштабнішій і найкривавішій на європейському континенті з часів Другої світової).
 Методи дослідження: аналіз контенту з відкритих джерел, систематизація й концептуалізація даних.
 Замість висновків. 1. Започатковано наукове осмислення героїзму й жертовності представників журналістського корпусу під час війни за незалежність України протии московщини, яка поставила собі за мету відродити імперію, знищити спершу українську державу й українців, а згодом і країни Європейського Союзу та ідеали західної демократії. 2. Зроблено перші кроки щодо створення журналістського некрополя в Україні.

СПРАВЕДЛИВІСТЬ І ГУМАНІЗМ ЯК ЦІННІСНІ ОРІЄНТИРИ ПРАВОСВІДОМОСТІ ТА ПРАВОВОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ ГЕТЬМАНЩИНИ

The article is devoted to the analysis of such value guidelines of legal awareness and legal culture of the Hetmanate as justice and humanism. Their durability, connection with previous eras, and continuity for future generations are substantiated. Stating that the society of the studied era was stratified, and therefore the axiological orientations of different social groups could differ, the author mainly considers the common values inherent in the legal awareness and legal culture of all structural components of the Ukrainian society at that time, namely fairness, truth, justice, humanism. Attention is focused on the fact that these values constitute the basis of the idea of law, express its essence, and this is how law was perceived by Ukrainian society – as God's command, the support of the world order, the eternally just value. This testified to the high level of its legal awareness and legal culture. The content of the axiological guidelines of legal awareness and legal culture of the Hetmanate is illustrated through the analysis of legal acts, monuments of legal thought, poetic and journalistic works, folk art. In particular, they include the 1743 Code "Laws for which the Little Russian people are judged", the 1730 Instruction to the Courts of Hetman D. Apostol, the political and legal treatise of the graduate and later teacher of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Mykhailo Kozachynskyi "Philosophy of Aristotelianism" (1744), works of the Ukrainian philosopher, poet, cossack Semen Klymovskyi. Folk art is represented by Ukrainian proverbs and sayings, which give an idea of the everyday level of legal awareness, feelings, views, ideas of Ukrainians regarding law, its meaning and value characteristics. Based on the results of the research, it is concluded that such value categories as fairness, justice, and humanism were rooted in the legal awareness and legal culture of both the Cossack-elderly elite and the ordinary Cossacks, the bourgeoisie, and even the peasantry with its orientation to eternal Christian virtues, among which truth, justice, mercy, humanity, equality play an important role. Such ideas were not formed in an empty place, but were inherited from the previous Kyiv-Rus’ and Lithuanian-Polish eras. Therefore, the succession of value markers at the level of all its constituent parts, including legal awareness and legal culture, is clearly tracked in the legal system of the Hetmanate. The perceptions, feelings, evaluations, views, theories, ideas of representatives of Ukrainian society regarding justice and humanism, as for that era, were quite progressive and reflected the European style of thinking.

“There is Nothing More Useful Than the Abolition of this Fruitless Punishment”: The Narrative of the Abolition of Exile to Siberia in N. M. Yadrintsev's Work of the 1870s

The aim of this study is to reconstruct and demonstrate the narrative of the Siberian exile as an unsustainable form of punishment, which was widely represented in the literary and journalistic works of N.M. Yadrintsev, the leader of the Siberian regional movement in the 1870s. The chronological framework used in this study is not coincidental, as it seeks to expand the understanding of the diverse legacy of the “worthy son of Siberia” by examining the topic of exile during the initial period of his career as an enlightener in the 1870s.
 The study mainly employs published sources, with emphasis on N.M. Yadrintsev's works during the 1870s. Additionally, archival materials from N.M. Yadrintsev's collection in the Department of Manuscripts and Book Monuments of the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University are utilized. This set of sources highlights N.M. Yadrintsev's actual involvement in attempting to reform the penitentiary system in the Russian Empire.
 The paper notes that N.M. Yadrintsev's journalism reflects the idea that exile, by combining almost all categories of crimes, became a panacea for all ills. Exile was also considered a crucial economic tool, replacing short-term and long-term prisons.
 The authors conclude that N.M. Yadrintsev's ideological and journalistic legacy, as demonstrated in central and regional periodicals during the 1870s, succinctly showed that exile has no corrective value for criminals. Instead, it contributes to the criminalization of the region and leads to an increase in illegal activity. The state spends too many financial resources on the exile system, and its colonization influence is insignificant.

Peripheral News Workers’ Autonomy: The Case of a Czech Regional Television Newsroom

ABSTRACT In this article, we revisit some of the debates about changing journalistic labour that have first emerged when digital technologies became widely available in newsrooms. The terms multiskilling, deskilling, up-skilling and re-skilling have been applied in a variety of contexts and in a range of studies, but explorations of journalistic labour have tended to focus on core (news) workers. The de-skilling debate that originated in Braverman’s work continues to be relevant but we need a more nuanced approach to journalistic labour. Our case study addresses skills and changing work conditions in a regional Czech public service television newsroom and takes into account the experience of core as well as peripheral news workers. We conclude that camera reporters—those at the periphery of journalistic work—have faced the most detrimental loss of professional autonomy. We argue that a holistic approach to the core and the periphery of a newsroom helps us overcome some of the shortcomings of the conceptual variety of understandings of the journalistic field and the journalistic profession as well as the divergent definitions of skills involved in journalistic labour. Our case study is also important because it centres on under-researched public service media.

Reporting Safely in Crisis Zones: Medical First Response for Journalists and Filmmakers

Introduction:Journalists work in dangerous places. In recent years, the risk of illness and injury while reporting has increased, whether in the setting of conflict, protest, extreme weather, or environmental disaster. Journalists are targeted more than ever before. Working safely in remote and dangerous settings, especially without the protection of a large organization, requires a wide range of skills related to safety and security. For several years, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University has offered brief, intensive courses focused on personal safety, self defense, cyber-security and medical skills for freelance journalists working in dangerous settings.Method:We re-conceptualized the medical first responder portion of the Dart Center's "Reporting from Crisis Zones" course to emphasize basic skills related to acute injury and illness, from trauma resuscitation (e.g, hemorrhage control) to environmental exposure and medical illness. We identified the most common medical concerns that these learners might encounter and incorporated feedback from prior courses to develop a one-day curriculum meant to address the most pressing needs of incidental first responders with minimal medical training, and whose primary mission is not providing medical care to others.Results:The resulting 8-10 hour curriculum focuses on hemorrhage control, basic airway and respiratory maneuvers and wound care, with additional focus on medical illness, indications for evacuation, and communication and prevention techniques. The re-structured curriculum was first offered in Spring 2022. Feedback from learners was positive.Conclusion:Basic first responder skills are critical for journalists working in dangerous settings, who represent a unique population of learners with specific needs and objectives. Next steps include developing a better understanding of the medical and traumatic problems truly encountered by this population in the field, assessing the long-term educational impact of the course, and developing ongoing opportunities to reinforce learning via online resources, refresher sessions, and guideline development.
