Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 563-569.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.563CrossRef

Abstract:
The anthropocentric approach to language involves increased attention to all the parameters of a human person reflected in the language. The androgyny of European languages is corrected by including a human nouns correlative to the vocabulary on the basis of grammatical gender. The spread of political correctness modern ideas restricts the use of sexist words and expressions. The main way of the modern languages’ development is to eliminate the discrimination of women reflected in the language. Due to the globalization influence and significant feminism arise the significant correction of gender nominations has become possible. The gender-marked anthroponyms with a feminine affix index, even if they correspond to the system grammatical standard, are outside the official business style in modern Russian, but they are widespread in other styles and genres of the modern Russian literary language such as colloquial speech, fiction and media discourse.Media space nowadays is the widest territory of any linguistic directions’ development in general and the media discourse in particular due to the fact that it involves a large scale of the population into communication, and the female part is a half of it.

A Model for Developing University Students’ Interethnic Tolerance in the Context of Leading Modern Media Education Strategies in Russia and English-speaking Countries

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 581-590.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.581CrossRef

Abstract:
The possibilities of media education for upbringing the younger generation are undeniable. Development of citizenship and interethnic tolerance to representatives of other ethnic groups and cultures is one of the important and urgent directions of Russian media education. In this process, the analysis of the best Russian and foreign media education practices is essential. In this study we attempted to construct a model for fostering students’ interethnic tolerance based on the main theoretical approaches and practical aspects in the context of leading Russian and foreign (in this case, English-speaking) approaches to media education in the system of higher education. This model is a set of the objective, methodological, organizational, reflective and evaluative components. The conceptual basis of the model includes the following methodological approaches: developing critical thinking, culturological, semiotic and socio-cultural and aesthetic approaches, which are increasingly being developed in the university practice of media education. One of the leading approaches in media education for fostering students’ interethnic tolerance is analysing media texts of different types and genres. This process is traditionally based on the key media education concepts associated with defining the source, typology, perception, topics and representation of media texts. Reliance on the concepts of media agencies, media categories, media technologies, media languages, media audiences, media representations is also emphasised.

Efim Dzigan: Pseudo-classic of the Soviet Cinema

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 591-596.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.591CrossRef

Abstract:
The history of Soviet cinema in the course of certain political changes has been revised more than once in film studies. However, the authors of the article believe that in the works of the majority of Soviet and Russian film critics, the assessment of the artistic quality of Efim Dzigan's work has been unjustifiably overestimated for a long time. Not until recently, few articles expressed an alternative opinion on the political situation and the actual artistic significance of Dzigan's work. In the present article, the authors analyze the films by Efim Dzigan in the context of their assessment in different historical periods. They conclude that this is a case study of Soviet ideological film production – politically engaged but of the average artistic level; and "We are from Kronstadt" is not a masterpiece, but a film built on ideological stereotypes glorifying the revolution and the Bolsheviks. The materials for our research are E. Dzigan's films, film reviews and cultural studies research articles related to his work. The principal methods is a media text's analysis, classification and synthesis.

Phenomenology of School Violence in the Continuum of Contemporary Print and Electronic Media Texts in Russia

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 597-608.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.597CrossRef

Abstract:
The problem of school-based violence is one of the most important, requiring an urgent solution, as it threatens the physical and mental health of people. Nowadays newspapers and their Internet versions represent aggression and cruelty, attacks and murders in school settings, as a rule, broadcasting to the public a detailed description of tragic incidents, thus leaving a reflection in the minds of the younger generation, shaping their values and attitudes, behaviour patterns, arousing their interest in imitation and transferring the image of violent scenes into the real world. The relevance of studying the topic of school violence in Russian print and Internet versions of the media is quite obvious, due to the fact that a wave of aggression and violence, armed attacks on students and teachers, mass shootings on school grounds swept Russian educational establishments. In this article, the author attempts to carry out a hermeneutic analysis of school-based violence as reflected in print and online media from 1992 to 2020. The author’s reflections on the representation of violence in the school environment are determined by the urgent need to reveal the specific character, structure, narrative techniques, gender, ideological aspects of violence against students and teachers in order to create a holistic vision and approach to the content under study.

DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.627CrossRef

Abstract:
In this paper we will analyze parental view on the difficulties in organizing mass education for students through media technologies usage in the spring of 2020. The goal of the research is to study the most significant learning difficulties in the new format, which have been pointed out by parents. The following methods of cognition have been used in this study: problem method, survey method, system-structural method. The study engaged 400 parents from different regions of Russia (54 regions). Parents were asked to answer 5 questions. Parents identified 3 forms of learning through media technologies used by teachers: extended "take-home assignment" mode; online lessons mode and mode of working with educational platforms. Parents pointed out the poor quality of education by means of the media technologies to have been chosen. The study showed low parental satisfaction with the learning process. A media technologies learning difficulties model was created (according to parents). Among the significant learning difficulties, parents highlighted the low media competence of the pedagogical as well as parental communities, the shortage of competent mechanisms for children's knowledge assessment, the lack of proper motivation for learning as well as zero independent work skills. Parents indicated that children did not have the opportunity to learn while communicating interpersonally with the teacher and peers. A fore-referenced difficulties were identified by parents as the major setbacks to media technologies usage in modern schools. Therefore, in the minds of parents, this learning model should be investigated intensively and seriously improved by the teaching community.

Media and Scientific Literacy Development within the Framework of Public Engagement with Science

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 636-644.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.636CrossRef

Abstract:
The article explores Ukrainian scientists’ public engagement through popular science media, which they launch themselves, and which have become a component of the country’s media environment. Today, unlike the long-standing tradition of avoiding contact with public, Ukrainian scientists especially of the younger generation have understood the importance of public engagement. Popular science media produced by scientists play a role of a communication platform that aims to unite science with a general audience. According to the study results, there is no doubt about social significance of scientists-led media in Ukraine within a public demand for science-related content, wide spreading fake and pseudoscientific information, the insufficient development of science journalism, and current public invisibility of science. These media can help to disseminate scientific knowledge to the public, increase its critical thinking and comprehension of science-based content, promote scientific and media literacy. However, the review of scientists-led media and the survey data from young media consumers have revealed that these media need improving to do their tasks. The findings have proved that the subsequent release of the popular science media produced by Ukrainian scientists should satisfy consumer requests and modern media trends.

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 645-652.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.645CrossRef

Abstract:
The integration of the professional efforts of scientists in solving a wide range of research problems is today one of the principles of organizing knowledge in the field of the humanities. The creation of scientific schools can be considered a positive example of such cooperation. In the field of media literacy education, one of the leading scientific schools is the active Russian scientific school “Media Education and Media Competence”, which has existed for more than 25 years. Media literacy education technology is an interdisciplinary field of research that involves the combination of content, basic categories and research methods of journalism, sociology, cultural studies, film studies, philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, history and other sciences. This technology is most in tune with the interests and lifestyle of modern youth who are mastering digital media. It is a global technology capable of uniting people from different countries with its universal language, moral and civic components, and ensuring intercultural dialogue. The article analyzes four monographs published by scientists from this scientific school in recent years. The subjects of study in them were cinematography (fiction and documentary) and various aspects of criticism in the field of media, as well as the problem of personal creative portraits of famous media critics. At the same time, one of the key ideas of scientists can be recognized as the synthesis of media literacy education and media criticism, considered both as a methodological approach and as a method for organizing media literacy education. These works concentrate the main research results in the field of media literacy education and media criticism, which can become a reference point for researchers around the world. The main common features of research of the scientific school "Media Education and Media Competence" are highlighted, their content, theoretical and practical significance, and the possibility of their application in teacher education are analyzed. The position of the authors of monographs to the definition of the concept of “media text”, methods of working with media texts are reflected.

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 653-663.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.653CrossRef

Abstract:
Internet is a “guru”, the latest achievement of modern times, an unlimited range of topics, a source of phenomena and world events, as well as an irreplaceable tool of entertainment. It is a very convenient form of contact, aimed at replacing traditional correspondence, telephony, and even in the “busy world” of traditional meetings. It allows you to send files containing texts, sound, image and movie. Growing young people focus on the same topics, interests or hobbies, creating virtual communities. Social networks, which are one of the types of such a community, are becoming more and more popular among Polish cyberspace users. Their task is to make new contacts possible, find old friends and acquaintances, and share information about themselves. Therefore, they satisfy the needs arising from human nature, such as affiliation, being with others, friendship. In connection with the constantly growing popularity of social networking sites, the aim of the empirical research was to find out the role they play in the psychosocial life of 750 8th grade students in Polish primary schools. Particular attention was paid to interpersonal relations, initiated both in the virtual world and beyond. Empirical research has made it possible for us to verify theoretical knowledge about social networking sites and confront it with the actual participation of websites in building interpersonal bonds among young people, constructing their activity and showing the positive and negative aspects of using them.

Advertiser Pressure: A Climate Change Content Agenda-Cutting Paradox in Pakistani Media

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 664-674.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.664CrossRef

Abstract:
Mass media is a part of the political economy and operates like other businesses in the market economy to earn profits. Though, media sells its content as a commodity to the customers and its consumption decides its rating and circulation figures. In that context, the figures attract advertisers to advertise their products through these highly rated and circulated media outlets. However, most of the revenue of any media organisation is gathered through advertisements. Thus, most of them became dependent on advertisers for revenue generation and it generates 'extramedia influence' on media content, which is called advertiser pressure. Therefore, with this background, the fundamental objective of this study is to explore advertiser pressure on climate change content in the media in Pakistan. The data was collected through qualitative semi-structured in-depth interviews from purposively sampled 15 environmental journalists who are working for local and mainstream Pakistani press/media. Findings revealed that advertisers' pressure influences all types of content in the media in Pakistani media. However, advertiser pressure impacts more on climate change content because it is a soft news subject and needs more investment. Additionally, results showed that government advertisers influence more than corporations because the government is the primary advertisers for media content in Pakistan.

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 688-701.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.688CrossRef

Abstract:
The results of the study of readiness of future specialists in the domain of media communications to work in the media environment – their psychological media competence, were presented. The choice of the participants of the experimental study was contingent on the differences in their ambitions: the group of future specialists in the domain of advertising (N = 25) was focused on creating media content attractive to consumers, while the group of future psychologists (N = 15) was focused on protecting the psychological health of individuals from destructive media content. The group of experts included Masters of Psychology who took the course of Psychological Safety in Media Environment (N = 9). The reference group included students who had not studied psychology (N = 41). The research was carried out using the semantic differential (SD) method and the examinational survey method, which afforded estimating the ability of a person to determine psychological peculiarities of media texts. The cognitive, value-semantic, reflexive, creative and active components of psychological media competence were evaluated. The Herbaria tea commercial with the advertising slogan 'Drown your Fears' served as the incentive for psychological media competence assessment. The results of its psychological analysis by experts were compared with those of students in the three groups: future advertisers, future psychologists, and students who were not exposed to psychological background during their professional training. The results of the research demonstrated: 1) the level of psychological competence of all students was low; 2) the level of psychological media competence of future advertising professionals was statistically significantly higher than that of future psychologists of education; the lowest level was in the group of students who did not study psychology. That brought the importance of creating and implementing training programs focused on improving competence among students of advertising and educational psychologists into the foreground.

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 702-712.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.702CrossRef

Abstract:
The vast majority of researchers considers TV’s psychological impact on mass audience to be completely negative effect. In this article we tried to find positive aspects of such impact by the example of TV charity acts. For this purpose the method of focus-group was used, in which the audience were shown different video fragments of TV charity action. More than that their emotional empathy level was measured in order to find out emotional impact of charity plots. As the result, connection between emotional empathy level and reaction on definite elements of charity acts was discovered. The responders with a low emotional empathy level preferred the plots, based on facts, concrete methods of solving problem. For a high empathy level – more emotionally colored stories with a strong audial effects were preferable. The article confirmed the hypothesis that concrete plot’s elements influence emotional viewers’ state and make them take part in a charity act. Such decision is based on the plot, attitude to the main characters. It appeared that the way of accounting the money had a great importance. And it is different in actions of 1st and 5th Channels and attracts different target audience. Thus the article proves that it’s necessary to study positive aspects of television impact on mass audience and to work out the mechanisms, which can improve and develop the content of this sort on native television.

Poetics of Ukrainian Film ‘Earth’: Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s Conceptual Search

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 713-720.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.713CrossRef

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to analyze the outcomes of Aleksandr Dovzhenko conceptual search based on his work, Earth (1930), which became the most remarkable in the Soviet cinematography. The authors also go into the reasons of diametrically opposite reviews of the critics on these film. This article is based on little-known critical publications about these films in the Ukrainian and Russian media in the 1920s. Earth was filmed in the period of political and social transformations of the Soviet society, in the early days of painful shifts towards collectivization of agriculture and industrialization of production. Stalin’s political struggle with his political opponents Trotsky and the opposition headed by Bukharin ended in Stalin’s victory. His unlimited power was consolidating, and further repressions in the society were simmering. The amplified influence of Marxist-Leninist critics on creative processes was becoming especially noticeable at that time. Under pressure of such political conditions, Alexander Dovzhenko had to work on his masterpiece Earth. Analysis of Aleksandr Dovzhenko contemporaries’ polemic about Earth on pages of specialized journals in the 1920s showed that the most common types of publications were: 1. Unconditional recognition (combination of revolutionary ideas with vivid means of expression). 2. Brutal criticism (exaggerated aestheticism and deviation from the Socialist ideology).

Click, Ignore or Repost: Subjective Assessment of the Reliability and Relevance of Information on COVID-19 in the Infodemic

Media Education (Mediaobrazovanie), 2020, 60(4): 745-756.
DOI: 10.13187/me.2020.4.745CrossRef

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by “infodemic”, including the spread of excessive amount of information regarding coronavirus. The study aimed to reveal which role the source and online context of COVID-related information takes in the probability of clicking and reposting this information and its relationship to the reaction to the pandemic, individualism and collectivism. 396 adults who did not have COVID-19 and lived in Central (n = 207), Siberian (n = 63) and Far Eastern (n = 126) regions of the Russian Federation evaluated their expectations and subjective probability of clicking and reposting four COVID-related messages (from politician – president, health specialist – president of WHO, journalist – link to a broadcast, personal story) on the four possible backgrounds (Ministry of Health Сare website, Yandex news, Facebook, WhatsApp). Then the participants filled in the Monitoring Information About Coronavirus Scale and Coronavirus-Related Anxiety Scale, modification of the brief Positive and Negative Affect Scale. Facebook was seen as equal or more trustful than Yandex. People are more ready to click the links about COVID-19 if they expect the message to be important, trustful for them and clarifying the situation, regardless of what kind of emotional changes they predict. People are more ready to repost the links about COVID-19 if they expect this message to change their mind or behavior. “Infodemic” includes not only the social processes of the spread of information but also the psychological processes of evaluation, clicking, reading and reposting.
