The erosion of media trust raises concerns about the ways in which the conduit of political information could undermine citizens' trust in democracy. While a large body of research in western democracies shows that media trust is contingent on specific media-system, political and cultural factors pertaining to national contexts, little is known about the sources of media trust in the new democracies from Central and Eastern Europe. Based on statistical analyses of public opinion surveys, this research tests if levels of trust in various traditional (television, radio, written press) and alternative mediums (Internet and online social networks) are differentiated along political party lines and depending on media consumption patterns in post-communist Romania. The results reveal a stronger association between trust in political parties and trust in traditional mediums, while trust in online media is more strongly linked to consumption patterns. These findings have practical, theoretical and normative implications for the functioning of democracy in post-communist societies.
Mass-media discourse is a "mirror" of sorts, which reflects general opinions and allows for understanding society's mindset concerning migration issues. This article is devoted to analyzing the images created by Spanish mass-media regarding Latin American immigrants residing in Spain. Such a vision ultimately led to the emergence of an enduring perception of said immigrants by Spanish society from two main points of view – fear and pity. Columbians and Ecuadorians served as the prototypes for all Latin Americans who illegally entered Spain. The author reveals the reasons for the "divide" in Spanish mass-media's perception of Columbia and Columbians, who became synonymous with danger, as well as Ecuador and Ecuadorian immigrants, who are primarily associated with Испанские СМИ о латиноамериканских мигрантах: между страхом и жалостью 110 № 4, Том 10, 2019 compassion and pity. This article examines the main stages of Latin American migration to Spain at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, which were primarily comprised in succession by immigrants from Columbia, Argentina, Venezuela and Cuba. The author characterizes the most numerous of Spain's Latin American Diasporas. It is revealed that immigration is a collectively constructed social phenomenon. In turn the host society attributes certain characteristics to visitors ("others") which they in fact do not possess. Such artificially assigned qualities are the result of a so-called "symbolic structure", attributed to each "imaginary migrant". Latin American migration to Spain is a result of a multitude of factors lying on various levels. However, it is very uncommon for the news to carefully examine the regional and global aspects of this process. This article reveals the specific image of Latin American migrants which developed in Spain towards the beginning of the 21st century. The author attempts to define the hidden ideology supporting the vast majority of those negative Latin American migrant stereotypes broadcast by national mass-media.

Modern political sociology covers in detail the issues of formation of public opinion in the traditional media - TV, press, and radio. But the problem of direct influence of informational agencies on target audience remains fairly undeveloped. The role of information agencies in mass communication has undergone a number of changes over the previous two decades. The dynamics and nature of these changes are identified in the framework of this article. Thanks to the progress of science and technology, news agencies, bypassing the media, have become able to establish links with the end consumer of the news. Researchers are required to "reassemble links" of the classical communication model: the source of information - the message - the transmitting channel (news agency) - the information interpreter (media) - the recipients of the message (the audience). ; В современной политико-социологической литературе подробно освещаются вопросы формирования общественного мнения традиционными средствами массовой информации (телевидением, прессой, радио), но при этом еще недостаточно разработана проблематика направленного воздействия информационных агентств на конечную аудиторию. Рассматривается изменение роли информационных агентств в средствах массовой коммуникации за последние два десятилетия и предпринимается попытка раскрыть динамику и характер этих изменений. Благодаря прогрессу науки и техники информационные агентства, минуя СМИ, получили возможность устанавливать связи с конечным потребителем новостей. От исследователей требуется заново «перебрать звенья» классической коммуникационной модели: источник информации - сообщение - передающий канал (информагентство) - интерпретатор информации (СМИ) - получатели сообщения (аудитория).
The article presents the results of a study of employment in the Russian media. Given the global trend of feminization of the media, the issues of professional self-realization, salary and career growth were analyzed through the prism of gender. The research tools included, firstly, a mass questionnaire of media workers holding both creative and administrative positions; secondly, a series of in-depth structured interviews with experts experienced in working as journalists and editors-in-chief; heads of journalistic associations; owners and founders of publications; heads of HR services of media structures; and thirdly, analysis of statistics relating to the editorial corps of editions at the municipal, regional and national levels — in the latter case the data on leading news agencies and Internet resources were analyzed. The study confirmed the trend of feminization, which is based on the socio-political (reducing the influence of the media and, consequently, lower salaries) and technological aspects (spread of information technology, forcing traditional media to compete with social media, saving on staff and reducing the quality of materials). Dissatisfied with the decline in income and in the prestige of the profession men were replaced by women, that was facilitated by a marked increase in the accessibility of journalistic education. The size of salaries depends on decisiveness of the media, on region, and also on the topics that a journalist is engaged in; in general, the willingness of women to work for a lower salary is forced. Precarious employment that is widespread in the industry deprives workers of social protection, while most of them are young women. The article examines the so-called "glass ceilings": the more influential the media, the less often it is led by a woman. At the same time, only a quarter of the respondents acknowledge the presence of gender discrimination in their industry, and most of them are women. This is partly due to the prevalence among journalists of both sexes of traditional ideas about the distribution of the social roles of men and women in family and in society.
