What are the modern media aimed at production and distribution of the specific information-product in the context of its commodification, i.e. its transformation into commodities? What is the specificity of news and its presentation, what are the mechanisms of the agenda forming? What are the bases of such a strong influence of the media on a modern person? What is the “virtual reality” and what are the social and psychological consequences of “dipping” into it? How are the roles and functions of a journalist changing today, forced out by blogger, in the new information area of electronic media? What really stands behind the metaphor “the fourth power”? All of these and many other questions are covered in the book.
