Summary/Abstract: The foundation of this work draws from Manuel Castells' renowned book, "The Rise of the Network Society" (Oxford: Blackwell, 2000). The methodology is rooted in key texts, including "Social Research Methods" (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012) by Alan Bryman, "Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research" (Los Angeles: SAGE, 2011) by John W Creswell and Vicki L. Plano Clark, and "Doing Qualitative Research" (Los Angeles: SAGE, 2010).This paper aims to delve into the interplay and impact between the unemployment of specific social groups and the government's development strategy on one hand, and the influence of the media on the other. The research employs mixed methods, primarily qualitative through the content analysis of documents and non-experimental data. It also integrates a quantitative aspect by utilizing data from the State Statistical Institute, Government sources, and other quantitative data (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2010).The paper investigates the connections between structural unemployment, unemployment among specific social groups, and the government's development strategy, with a focus on addressing these challenges. Additionally, it explores the combined efforts of the government and other relevant state bodies, as well as the media's role in addressing unemployment among these specific social groups.
