Regional media is an important segment of the socio-communicative model of the information space of Ukraine, which clearly identifies the vectors of ethnically and culturally identified journalism, works hard to preserve historical memory, national consciousness and civic activity of society. Their study is especially relevant in the period of modern socio-political changes associated with the development of democratization, decentralization and local self-government, which will make new adjustments to the typology, content and functions of local media. Currently, there is a growing scholars interest to the problems of regional journalism, but the culturological and axiological aspects of their study are still insufficiently investigated. This explains the choice of the research object, which were the regional media reviews, reflected in the memoirs and publicistics of the famous Ukrainian writer and public figure Oles Honchar.

Oles Honchar cooperation with the mass media lasted for more than sixty years. It was widely disclosed in his diary entries, epistolary and journalistic works of various genres. The writer's connections with the regional press are reproduced in chronological order, starting from the 1930s, the journalistic activity of young Oles Honchar in district and regional newspapers in Poltava and Kharkiv regions and ending with observations of an already experienced publicist and master of the word on the activities of local media during the years of independent Ukraine. An analysis of the congratulation-letters texts addressed to local newspapers and magazines offices ...

We have researched media texts of the anti-terrorist military action participants. There are war diaries, memoirs, blogs, publications of veterans and separately journalistic interviews with them. We used comparative, analytical, synthesis and induction method. Communicative specificity of these texts was concretized. Literary works of anti-terrorist military action participants are amateur and new for Ukrainian information space. They were built on the autobiographical basis. This kind of memoir genre is a valuable source for learning both behavior of some person in concrete conditions and sociopolitical order of some people in determined history period. The authors demonstrate their military personal experience through detailing of war events. Memoir writers explain their motivation of joining military platoons and demonstrate a strong patriotic position. Veterans recite their own history in a chronological order with adding images of comrades, commanders, technique units, tranches, weapon, elements of everyday life to their telling. Also combatants say about exploits of their fighting brothers. The prominent feature of memoirs is a contrast between front realities and civilian life. Military action participants have a colloquial style with military slang and terms. With a great sadness Ukrainian defenders describe a way of life of dead friends. But military texts have a lot of funny stories, jokes, positive notices and interesting cheerful details of communication between soldiers.

The article deals with the analysis of historiographic scientific researches on origin and development of national printed mass media.Ukraineis presented as a country with long-standing traditions of publishing, a country where there are a lot of scientists studying the history of Ukrainian periodicals. Informatization of human activities becomes more and more profound, thorough and complete, and this fact requires constant analysis, assessment of printed products functioning from the point of view of their role in information, scientific, educational and cultural spiritual provision of society. The peculiarity of this revolutionary change forUkrainelies in the fact, that political and social-political changes, connected with obtaining independence and establishing statehood byUkraine: complex and system-defined historiography of publishing in post-industrial period is scantily explored. The undertaken historiographic investigation shows, that scientists were concentrated on searching rather special components of a publication. The author analyzed the existing periodization of mass media development depending on different factors and generalized, systematized and added the results of the existing investigations. The suggested periodization is, on the one hand, the continuation of scientists' analytics, who researched shorter time periods, and, on the other hand, the investigations are supplemented with the analysis of the influence of social and economic factors. Besides, the majority of scientists investigate only their regions, often keeping to their ideological bias, that brings contradictions even in such, at first sight, simple questions as: where the first Ukrainian newspaper was published. The deficiency of unified methodological approach to problems under investigation is clarified. It is proved, that the situation in publishing depends on the pluralism, freedom of speech, well-developed party structures. Complex investigation requires not only knowledge in history, but also in economics, management, ...

The article is devoted to the actual problem of print media reforming, in particular the definition of its perspectives and trends. The article highlights re-registration processes results of Ukrainian state and public print media and publication editions. Consequently, enforcement of the Bill's provisions of Ukraine "On the Reform of State and Public Print Media" was considered. The process of print media denationalization has been investigated and analyzed, factors that hinder and impede print publications reformation, declared as reform objects are found out.

Introduction. This article explains the peculiarities of the content constructing of the political media discourse of the Russian Internet resource sputniknews.com for September 2016, represented by English-language political media texts about events in Ukraine.Purpose. The purpose of the article is to disclose peculiarities of the content constructing of the political media discourse in question via the analysis of the cognitive plane of its objectification.Results. The article holds that the political media discourse is a complex phenomenon that has three planes of its objectification: cognitive, pragmatic, and communicative (linguistic). The analysis of its cognitive plane accomplished as the analysis of the content of its political media texts enables to disclose peculiarities of their content constructing. The article proves that this constructing is typically based on a purposeful manipulation of information on behalf of the message author (sender). It is done in different ways and by various means – by faking facts, by their partial distortion, by a shift within the concept semantic field, by the concept simplification, and by stereotyping. The very form of facts presentation also contributes to information distortion – it can be statement, repetition, fragmentation, breaking news, sensation, and non-alternativity (of information source or of view point). Such а content constructing, typical of the analyzed political media texts, enables the message author (sender) to present concrete facts, political events and the very social reality in the right light, suggesting or imposing on the message recipient a certain (necessary) understanding of what is perceived.Originality. Originality of this article is provided by a complex approach to the analysis of the political media discourse. The article contributes to the discourse analysis, in particular to the studies of its cognitive and linguistic-cognitive characteristics.The perspective of the problem under discussion can be seen in the analysis of interrelated pragmatic and communicative (linguistic) planes of the political media discourse objectification.Conclusion. Thus, according to the obtained data, the content constructing of English-language political media texts about events in Ukraine, which represent the political media discourse of the Russian Internet resource sputniknews.com for September 2016, is typically based on manipulation of information. Accomplished by the message author (sender) in different ways and by various means, manipulation of information results in various interpretations of concrete facts, political events and social reality with the purpose to suggest or impose on the message recipient a certain (necessary) understanding, which is, in fact, a manipulative impact on public consciousness.

Nowadays, media act as a conduit between governmental authorities and the public. The adjusted mechanism of interaction between public authorities and the media, effective and open information policy of the state, filling the information space with key messages today are just some of the main government's tasks in overcoming the crisis. The purpose of this article is to explore the main trends that exist in Ukrainian political and information spheres in order to develop anti-crisis tools for the effective formation of the media reputation of governmental authorities of Ukraine. In the process of research, a number of general scientific and special research methods were used, in particular, structural-functional, comparative, qualitative-quantitative, empirical research, etc. The lack of clear communication strategy, professional anti-crisis structural units for information monitoring and analysis, insufficient diagnostics of citizens' reaction to communication messages and attempts to resolve conflicts and crises situations cause the decrease of Ukraine's reputation in the international arena, makes it impossible for the public authorities to resolve crisis issues and inform the citizens during crisis and emergency situations. As a result of the research, it was stated that there is a lack of articulation of meaningful answers to painful questions and purposeful concentration of media and public attention to help to solve problems instead of spreading destructive sentiments. Under the new conditions of information space globalization and information wars, the state is obliged to bring Ukraine's media legislation to European standards, ensure national interests' preservation, take timely measures to protect vulnerable groups from potentially harmful content, without hindering the right to freedom of speech. Under these conditions, the level of trust in state institutions is dramatically falling and, public authorities should closely collaborate with civil society organizations. One of the key diagnostic methods ...

Introduction. This article gives reasons for recognizing the political media discourse a separate discourse type and it also examines linguistic realization of a manipulative function within the political media discourse. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to expose an integrative and complex nature of the political media discourse as a separate discourse type and to identify specificities of linguistic means used within it to exert a manipulative impact on the recipient. Results. The article holds that the political media discourse is a separate discourse type that, similar to any other type of the discourse, is a unity of the process and its result. Integrating typical features of the political and media discourses, it possesses a number of its own specific functional features, the main of which is instrumentality. Instrumentality is immediately connected with anguage – the main means (an instrument) of communication, which explains its paramount significance for formation of political media texts. Linguistic realization of the instrumental function molds in the receiver this or that emotional mood, thus affecting his/her train of thoughts in the way intended by the text producer. If such an impact on the receiver's mind is intentionally covert, it is qualified as manipulative, characteristic of political media texts. A manipulative impact is achieved by the use of pronouns: the personal pronouns "you","we", "they", when realizing their meaning of inclusiveness, create an illusion of positive and objective information; the personal pronouns "we" and "you", when realizing their meaning of generalization, create an illusion of a unified and commonly accepted opinion. A manipulative impact is also achieved by the use of rhetoric questions, declarative sentences used instead of interrogative ones, by the use of different kinds of repetition, by polysyndeton, parcelation, etc. A manipulative impact is a pragmatic effect of the political media text, which results employment of concrete communicative strategies embodied in different nominative, axiological, and rhetoric linguistic means. It is also done by a particular composition of the political media text. Originality. Originality of this article is provided by a complex approach to the analysis of the discourse. The article substantiates the necessity of recognition the political media discourse a separate discourse type and contributes to the discourse analysis, in particular to the studies of its cognitive and pragmatic characteristics. The perspective of the problem under discussion can be seen in the analysis of concrete manipulative techniques used within the political media discourse. Conclusion. Thus, the political media discourse is a separate discourse type that integrates typical features of the political and media discourses; it is a unity of the process and its result. Among its numerous functional features the main is instrumentality, which, from a linguistic perspective, presumes an impact, especially manipulative, on the receiver. Realization of such an impact is achieved by use of different linguistic means: nominative, axiological, and rhetoric

The processes, taking place in our national information space, cannot but put us on guard. Most alarming they are in the sphere of TV-speaking. Now they look especially dangerous, when Ukraine is in military confrontation, combined with hybrid war with aggressive Northern neighbour. We have been experiencing a difficult period of attempts of reforms' implementation, which have been declared by the authorities (unfortunately, the majority of them are pseudo plans), especially in information sphere. Both the results of future elections and the future of our state directly depend on these reforms.
