Baranova E.A., Novoselova G.G. - Transition Features of the Russian Regional Press to Digital Technology pp. 166-181

DOI:
10.25136/2409-8698.2024.1.69280

Abstract: The regional press plays an important role in the formation of the urban media space. The article examines the adaptation features of the Russian regional press to the changing the digital environment conditions. Despite the slight increase in circulation and audience of print media, the Russian regional press continues to experience a number of difficulties associated with a lack of funding, influence from government agencies, the implementation of government tasks, an aging audience, and publication of news in printed editions with a long delay. Publications are trying to adapt to changing conditions, looking for new ways not only to earn money, but also to attract an audience. Some sites are either a copy of the printed edition or are updated quite rarely. Nevertheless, digitalization does not mean the death of the Russian regional press. The study was based on interviews conducted by the authors in 2021-2023 with the heads of Russian regional newspapers. The authors also conducted a content analysis of materials posted on newspaper websites. The article is the first to examine successful cases of regional press. To attract the widest possible number of subscribers and, in general, active consumers of information products, the content of regional media must be exclusive, prompt, reliable, dialogic (providing different points of view), and multimedia. Unfortunately, Internet resources of Russian regional print media do not always meet these criteria. Digitalization does not mean death for traditional media; it is rather a new opportunity to conquer new “territories”, attract audiences, and implement new tasks. However, the development of local publications is hampered by the policies of government agencies that put pressure on editorial offices. Officials do not understand the specifics of journalistic work. Only a few regional publications manage to cope with existing problems, find sources of funding and attract new audiences.

Baranova E.A., Bocharov I.I. - The problem of implementing the cultural-forming function in the Russian media pp. 1-14

DOI:
10.25136/2409-8698.2023.7.43477

Abstract: In the context of the development of the information and ideological war between Russia and the West, the role of the media in the formation of cultural values is increasing. It is directly related to ensuring national security. One of the most important problems of our time is related to the fact that culture in the media has ceased to be a powerful tool for shaping the value system of society. The article analyzes stories published during the period from December 2022 to May 2023 in the thirteen most cited Russiabn media (Rbc.ru, Russian.rt.com, Gazeta.ru, Lenta.ru, 360tv.ru, Kp.ru, Tsargrad.tv, iz.ru, Life.ru, Mk.ru, Aif .ru, Fontanka.ru, Mosregtoday.ru). Approximately 2,000 stories related to the topic of "culture" in these media were analyzed. The stories were analyzed for compliance with the culture-forming function, which consists in promoting and disseminating high cultural values in society, educating the masses on samples of global culture, contributing to the comprehensive humanistic development of man. The authors come to the conclusion that 1) samples of high, elite culture rarely come to the attention of the media. In stories on cultural topics, gossip, rumors, events from the life of show business stars are replicated. 2) On some media sites, there is no “culture” section at all. In the field of view of the reader who goes to the websites, cultural news rarely falls. 3) The same names appear in the news about culture, famous personalities from the world of show business predominate, and there is not a word about new, young, talented artists. 4) Culture on media sites covers large-scale events, Hollywood premieres, but news about regional festivals, the achievements of creative individuals, and folk crafts rarely get into the headings. 5) Culture on media sites is being replaced by entertainment.

Baranova E.A., Andrianova D.D. - The modern Russian Market of business Information in the Conditions of Competition of daily Mass media and Telegram channels pp. 100-111

DOI:
10.25136/2409-8698.2022.8.38536

Abstract: The subject of the study is the business information market in the context of the development of Telegram channels. The relevance of the work is due to the increased competition in the information market between journalists of classical business publications and the authors of Telegram channels of business orientation. Telegram channels of business topics are developing most actively. This is especially acute in the business environment. The object of research is content created by journalists of classic daily business newspapers (RBC, Vedomosti and Kommersant) and authors of Telegram channels who write on business–related topics. We studied it to find out how the business information market is being transformed in Russia. The problem associated with the fact that traditional media are losing their importance as translators of socially significant information and expert opinion is being heard more and more often. For the first time, we consider it on the example of the competition of daily business media and Telegram channels. Using the random sampling method, we reviewed materials published from October 30 to November 5, 2021 in seven Telegram channels, with an audience of 5 to 86 thousand subscribers. We considered the channels that write about the real estate market ("Real estate insiders", "Reinforced concrete batch", "Kompromat GROUP", "Domostroy", "Novostroyman. Moscow. Real estate", "Real Estate", "Moskvastroy"). For the period from 2021 to 2022, three authors of anonymous Telegram channels were interviewed ("Reinforced Concrete batch", "Real Estate insiders" and "Novostroyman. Moscow. Real estate"). In October-November 2021, expert interviews were conducted with representatives of the press services of five Russian companies (Colliers, Stone Hedge, Knight Frank, Accent Capital, Dom.RF). The authors come to the conclusion that the press services of companies treat Telegram channels as full-fledged players in the business information market: they send them comments and press releases. The problem of regulating the content published in Telegram channels remains open.

Baranova E.A., Novoselova G.G. - Serpukhovskie Vesti newspaper in the context of the development of Internet technologies (1991-2021) pp. 155-166

DOI:
10.25136/2409-8698.2022.5.37786

Abstract: The regional factor of the development of Russian society is coming to the fore today, as there is a great need for the mediatization of the regional spaces of the Russian Federation. The article addresses the problems of the Russian regional newspaper periodicals, its current state and development trends. The subject of the study is the development of municipal newspapers in the Moscow region. This issue has been studied rather poorly today. At the moment, there is not a single full-fledged study of the printing market of the Moscow region. The object of the study is the formation of one of the newspapers in the south of the Moscow region – the Serpukhov News (SV) edition – in the era of Internet technologies and media convergence. In the late XX – early XXI centuries, many regional newspapers ceased to exist, but the editorial board of Serpukhov News was able to keep the publication thanks to the help of city officials and enterprises. However, we come to the conclusion that the work in the field of digitalization of the publication is going rather badly: "SV" are at one of the first stages of the development of this process. This is largely due to the fact that the newspaper is subordinate to the regional Government and the Main Directorate for Information Policy of the region, is under pressure from the city and regional authorities. The authorities of the Moscow region allowed to engage in the development of the newspaper's website (svesti.ru ), but the Serpukhov editorial office has no resources for this (neither monetary nor personnel). Journalists devote all their efforts to preparing dry materials for a government resource inserpuhov.ru .

Baranova E.A., Novoselova G.G. - Features of the financial and personnel policy of the media of the Moscow region (on the example of the newspaper "Serpukhovskie Vesti") pp. 167-175

DOI:
10.25136/2409-8698.2022.5.38003

Abstract: Many periodicals are today in constant search of means for existence. Even the federal press faces a number of problems that lead to stagnation. Things are even worse in the provinces. The object of the study is the features of the financial and personnel policy of regional media. The authors consider this topic on the example of the oldest newspaper in the south of the Moscow region – Serpukhov News. The authors come to the conclusion that the Government of the Moscow Region and the Main Directorate for Information Policy fully determine both the financial and personnel policies of all municipal newspapers in the region. The media are directly dependent on the decisions of the regional leadership. Anyone who disagrees with this policy is easily dismissed on their own.   Having studied the resolutions of the Government of the Moscow region concerning the activities of the Moscow municipal mass media, as well as analyzing the orders of the Main Directorate for Information Policy of the Moscow region, the authors come to the conclusion that the lack of funding complicates the development of suburban newspapers. A small number of employees have difficulty fulfilling the required volume of publications for the newspaper and its website. The quality of materials suffers greatly. Employees of municipal newspapers, including Serpukhov News, receive a fairly low salary – below the average in the city. This reduces the loyalty of the editorial staff and affects the quality of texts.

Baranova E.A., Shnaider A.A. - Forms of submission of materials in data journalism pp. 98-107

DOI:
10.25136/2409-8698.2022.3.37556

Abstract: The term data journalism appeared in 2005, however, a single definition of the term "data journalism" has not yet appeared in the scientific community, researchers give different interpretations. This is largely due to the fact that there are discrepancies in understanding the essence of the phenomenon: whether it is a new direction of journalism development or a new genre, format of providing information. As part of the preparation of this article, E.A. Baranova conducted expert interviews with Konstantin Poleskov, the editor of SAĬta novayagazeta.ru , Roman Anin, editor of the investigation department of "Novoi Gazeta", Tina Berezhnaya, Advisor to the General Director for Information Technology of the TV channel "Russia Today", Alexey Smagin, a graduate of the Department of Data Journalism of the Higher School of Economics, an active specialist working at Novaya Gazeta. The experts were asked questions concerning the prerequisites for the emergence of data journalism, the forms of providing materials in data journalism, the development of new competencies among media workers, ethical problems that may be associated with the development of data journalism. The subject of the research is data journalism as a new direction of journalism development. The object of research is the forms of submission of materials in data journalism. The authors studied the data materials published on the websites of Russian and foreign media on the Yandex platform. The article highlights five forms of content submission in data journalism: analytical article; picture; flashcards; longrid; interactive multimedia project. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that data journalism today gives a new development to traditional journalistic genres - analytical article, investigation, news genres. The development of data journalism is associated with the emergence of ethical issues. To date, there are practically no specialists in data journalism in Russia, in order to develop this direction, it is necessary to reform educational programs in journalism.
