The Role of Journalism in Mediatization of the World of Everyday Life

The article gives an overview of key approaches to studying the media and journalism as factors that enable participants of the current social environment to deal with disagreements and resolve conflicts. The authors prove that, from the perspective of the objet field of media studies and its integrative character, social conflicts of various scales and levels are the primary object for analysis. Large-scale theoretical generalizations require practical knowledge of conflict resolution; therefore, journalism, being the reflector of the world of everyday life, is the main source of the relevant empirical data. Thus, the authors consider journalism and media the key tools for preventing and resolving social conflicts. They also emphasize the high degree of responsibility of the media and journalists in covering and analyzing conflicts in the world arena, which is becoming even higher in the current processes of digitalization and mediatization of all social realities. The article gives a definition of journalism in the context of conflictology as a theory of social conflict resolution, highlights the importance of further researches into the new field — mediaconflictology, and recommends using empirical and theoretical approaches and the principle of interdisciplinarity. This should provide for a better sensemaking and generalization of social practices, as well as determining the key role of journalism in forecasting and diagnosing social conflicts and disagreements, in de-escalation of social tensions and forming the right culture of conflict perception by the public, which will eventually result in harmonization of social processes.

Mediatization is a relatively new approach to understanding the processes that take place in various spheres of human life. In media research, when studying this topic, politics, culture, and social practices are most often examined, but the sphere of economics is only mentioned and has rarely been explored. The purpose of the article is to determine new areas of research in the field of mediatization of the economy. The article examined traditional types of economic mass communication, provided an overview of modern economic communication practices (e-commerce, social networks, co-sharing companies, crowdfunding platforms, mobile applications, block chain and cryptocurrencies) that have arisen as a result of the digitalization of the economy. The author argues that the concept of economic communications in a digital society becomes expansive, and the digital economy can be called an economy via communications. In the digital world, there are economic interactions between the audience members themselves. It is proved that mediatization is not only a process that accompanies the functioning of the economy but the media themselves become a business environment. The mediatization of the economy triggers new and actualizes the existing threats to the livelihood of the audience ("economic power" of monopolies, "social engineering", scams on the Web, deception, etc.). We need a legal mechanism for regulating the digital economy, ethical codes. The intellectual potential of society created online should develop not only in the direction of the accumulation of new economic information and technologies for running online business, but also in the development of moral rules considering axiological and deontological aspects. In the context of mediatization the role of economic journalism is increasing, going beyond the scope of business journalism. The study of economic communications in the digital environment should become one of the current issues of modern journalism theory.

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.
