The objective of our work was to identify the role mass media play in crisis communication. We chose the "methanol affair" as an example of a crisis situation which seriously affected the health and lives of people. We wanted to find out whether there are links between the number of published articles and the subsequent volume of spirits sold during the crisis situation in the Czech Republic such as the methanol affair. We used regression analysis and established that the number of articles related to the methanol affair significantly influenced the sales of spirits. The publication of each article was followed by a decrease in sales of spirits and vice versa, i.e., following a decline in the number of articles, sale volumes went up. Negative consequences have also been reported by producers whose annual sales have fallen in a year-to-year comparison. Last but not least, the government also suffered a loss by collecting significantly less money from excise duty as well as other taxes (VAT, income tax). The role of mass media is crucial in crisis communication, businesses should not underestimate the cooperation with mass media and they should be the first to promptly inform the mass media so that they can maintain the confidence of consumers.

The article deals with legislation on the media, the system of hiring the journalist's skills cadres and their motivation such as national awards in our modern society. The dynamic increase in the number and quality of publications and broadcasting channels in Uzbekistan today, shows collateral works and the achievement of our country in this sphere.

"Focusing on the case of Russia during Putin's first two presidential terms, this book examines media manipulation strategies in electoral authoritarian regimes. Which instruments and approaches do incumbent elites employ to skew media coverage in favour of their preferred candidate in a presidential election? What effects do these strategies have on news content? Based on two case studies of the presidential election campaigns in Russia in 2000 and in 2008, this investigation identifies the critical internal mechanisms according to which these regimes work. Looking at the same country, while it transformed from a competitive into a hegemonic authoritarian regime, allows one to make a diachronic comparison of these two regime types based on the Most-Similar Systems Design. The book explicates the subtle differences between competitive and hegemonic regimes, different types of media manipulation strategies, the diverging extent of media instrumentalisation, various interactions among state actors, large business owners, the media, and journalists, the respective effects that all these factors and interactions have on media content, and the peculiar types of bias prevalent in each type of regime. This deep exploration of post-Soviet politics is based on extensive review of documents, interviews with media professionals, and quantitative as well as qualitative content analyses of news media during two Russian presidential election campaigns"--Provided by publisher

Political agenda-setting research has shown that policy makers are responsive vis-à-vis media priorities. However, the mechanisms behind this effect have remained understudied so far. In particular, agenda-setting scholars have difficulties determining to what extent politicians react to media coverage purely because of the information it contains (information effect), and to what extent the effect is driven not by what the media say but by the fact that certain information is in the media (media channel effect), which is valued for its own sake – for instance, because media coverage is considered to be a reflection of public opinion. By means of a survey-embedded experiment with Belgian, Canadian and Israeli political elites (N = 410), this study tests whether the mere fact that an issue is covered by the news media causes politicians to pay attention to this issue. It shows that a piece of information gets more attention from politicians when it comes via the media rather than an identical piece of information coming via a personal e-mail. This effect occurs largely across the board: it is not dependent on individual politician characteristics.

The role of social networks in the formation of collective behaviour and a
sustainable point of view/position regarding the information events or facts is
studied herein. The purpose of the study is to analyse the reaction of the users of
popular social networks, expressed in quotations and responses to the messages
of mass media resources. A statistical measure of interest in the media news is
identified through unique messages from queries on the topic. The approach
used is aimed at improving the scientific argumentation on the assumption of a
direct relationship between these phenomena. The empirical evaluation is carried
out according to the data obtained from the Russian segment of social networks.
The trends in the distribution of media content in social media and social networks
are revealed using structural and correlation analysis. It is determined that the
publications in online media correlate directly with the activities of social networks
and are caused by the release of one or another information event. The results of
the study also convincingly point out that the importance of the media resources,
expanding due to the integration of social networks, increases, while the classical
model of online media (media edition as own website) is gradually losing
popularity and audience.

After almost two decades of reform, Indonesia is still experiencing a transition to democracy, in almost twenty years Indonesia has found full democratization. Some of the progress that has been gained, such as direct elections and the freedom of mass media, should be appreciated. Elections with mass media cannot be separated from each other.
