Elimination of censorship and state monopoly on the air in 1990. started the process of transformation of media in Poland, becoming the basis to determine the state of media policy in the field of pluralism. The author presents the political circumstances of the creation of a forum of public debate. He points the guarantees established under the provisions of the Polish media law to present and explain the policy of the governing bodies of the state, as well as the opportunity to present “on-air” the positions and opinions of political parties related to so-called „nodal public affairs.” Author examines the causes of the conflict of interest between the political parties and the public media, the mutual expectations in presenting political events.

Activities of economic entities operating in the media system of a free-market democratic society are subject to numerous determinants associated with the complexity and multi-dimensionality of the system and the goals before them. The article suggests and describes the legal and organizational-economic circumstances constituted by the political and economic systems which are part of the state system responsible for their creation. It simultaneously indicates the fact that too much dependence on the media creates the danger of losing their autonomy, which is necessary to fulfill their primary function of creating a space for the media and informing society.

Developing the emotional maturity of children and teenagers is one of the most important aims of the educational process. The mass media has a great impact on individuals,therefore their role in shaping one’s personality needs to be recognized and explained as they may facilitate the educational process.

Professional support may help the individual to avoid these problems.

This paper examines similarities and differences between direct and mediated political candidates' communication during electoral campaigns, and answers the question: How, if at all,do candidates' techniques of impression management differ in their direct and mediated communication. The study is based on content analysis of major daily newspapers, and statements published by candidates in the 2014/2015 Croatian presidential elections on their official Facebook and Twitter accounts. The results show that candidates did not use social media to portray their personal side, humanise their image and create their image of a leader through references to their skills and qualities. Rather, this research shows that in spite of the growing importance of social media, and the willingness and skill of the politicians in employing social media,traditional media, such as newspapers, remain indispensable for providing information about political issues to citizens in this new democracy during presidential elections.

What problems can The Turks have, who lived in Bulgaria between 1906 and 1908? The year 1908 present the final separation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire. We wanted to focus on the problems of the Muslim Turks living in this country, by means of the Balkan, a newspaper of Youth Turks, which has appeared exactly two years before this date in Plovdiv. Our most important sources are the writings, published in the Balkan newspaper, of both Edhem Ruhi, the chief author, and the readers who have sent letters to the newspaper. The view that we saw is different from what we expected when we seriously focus on both the writings of Edhem Ruhi and the letters of readers. Edhem Ruhi and the readers highlighted especially the internal problems of Muslim society as a problem in the newspaper. But the following issues are the most important: partizanship, müftis, schools and foundations. But each one of these problems is closely related to the other. This led to the complications of these problems.

The range of amateur photographs in social networks is both a factor, defining the perception of an urban space by certain social groups, and a reflection of it. The analysis of a big array of users’ photos on the net, based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, allows not only describing the typical practices of amateur photography, but also seeing a territory through the eyes of its visitors, revealing its key activities, objects, “blind zones” and barriers for development. The paper describes the methods and approaches to the analysis of such photographs based on the data collected in course of research of digital photography in certain Moscow areas.

Based on archive data, the author attempts at theorizing a Kulturfilm as an educational and propaganda film in the USSR in the 1930s. Kulturfilms were an effective tool for the public imagery of regions of the USSR, contained political discourse and played a prominent role in interpreting and adjusting ideological agendas. The article emphasizes the role of kulturfilms, which had been extensively filmed by the Sibtekhfilm studio in Novosibirsk in the 1930s. Working across the distant and exotic regions, filmmakers elaborated a set of lasting visual constructs of the Far East, Siberia, Altai, and Ural regions. The author studies the structure, episodes and plots of those Kulturfilms analyzing their scripts. Using the cartoon maps, art methods in filming and film narration, the filmmakers created memorable images of the remote regions. Geographical images correlated in the best way with cinematographic narratives, and the key images of the Far East, Siberia and Ural refashioned in the public mind of different generations of the Soviet people.

Due to the size of the Internet and the multitude of traditional and new genres there has been an increasing interest in automatic genre classification. Labelling texts in natural language processing is essential because this allows us to select more appropriate language models for the analysis. The aim of the article is to describe and present the results of automatically classifying Estonian Web 2013 texts. We evalued the quality of different classification models on our training and manually labelled test set. Most of the research on automatic classification has focused on classifying multiple genres, while our objective was to do a binary classification. We set out to classify Estonian Web 2013 texts based on whether they are canonical or not. For training we used the Balanced Corpus to represent canonical language and the New Media Corpus to represent non-canonical language. Due to the non-availability of a binary labelled subcorpus of Estonian Web 2013 texts, we compiled it ourselves by manually labelling it. For classification we used different supervised machine learning algorithms and for features a simple Bag of Words method. The results obtained from the preliminary experiments show that neural networks outperformed other machine learning algorithms achieving over 0.7 on accuracy. The overall results of this study indicate that in order to increase the accuracy of the classifiers, new features should be added (e.g POS count, sentences per paragraph, words per sentence, uppercase and lowercase letters per sentence etc.). Our best model, the neural network classifier, achieved an accuracy of 0.99 on a training set but only a little over 0.74 on the test set. This suggests that future work requiers a bigger and more appropriate training set. The manually labelling task showed us that the transition from canonical to non-canonical is very smooth. Current models produce a score between 0 and 1, defining if the item belongs to a class or not. Therefore, the classification models must be programmed to be more predictive so that the predictions can be tuned by selecting a threshold.

The Internet has reconstructed our understanding of the world. As one of the most im¬portant indicators to measure the society, people’s sense of social equity is also affect¬ed by their use of Internet. In consideration of the incongruity between the dramatic growth of China’s Internet and the online mass incidents happening more often, this paper supposes that the Internet use has a negative effect on people’s sense of social equity in China. Data from the Chinese General Social Survey (2013) confirms this assumption, and the reason behind that can be summarized as follows: (1) the Internet helps people recognize the social realities which may be covered by traditional media sometimes; (2) the non-institutionalized participation in the network space let people know that there are plenty of scope for improvement. Furthermore, this paper analy¬ses the moderating effect of the education and residence on the relationship between Internet use and people’s sense of social equity. And the significant moderating effect suggests that the relationship is relatively flat for higher educated and urban people, but steep for less educated and rural people.

This article presents the findings of a study concerning the use of the social media platform, Facebook, by local politicians to express their opinion on national political disputes. The analysis covered entries published by local politicians from the Silesian municipal boroughs, on their accounts over a period of 16 months, from the day of the parliamentary elections in 2015. The study revealed, among other data, that the fact and frequency of publishing posts concerning political disputes in social media depends on whether the local politician is a councillor or a president of the municipality and whether he/she is a representative of a main political party or not. The analyses also showed that nearly 80% of entries on national political disputes have a different author than the person who publishes the posts, and local politicians merely share posts made available by other people.

The man of today is the subject of rethinking the social, cultural sphere under the technological development, of the digitalized era in which we live. Nowadays realities (social, cultural, religious ones) are interconnected through the new techniques of communication. This fact represents evidence in the progress of humanity towards new horizons of facilitating the specific registers of a cultural-religious identity in a general plan of visibility. The isolation is impossible in the global society, and exclusiveness is, in a similar way, a negative way of being present in this society. Because of these reasons, the present study proposes to be an analysis of the dynamics that implies three elements: culture, media and religion. In what kind of relationship do they stand with each other? What are the consequences and the challenges of this interrelation?

The “online” world offers a place for the Internet users to create multiple representations of their identities, with prevailing visual or pictorial aspect. Neither the nature of personal identity nor strategy of its construction in the cyberspace is very different from that of the real, “offline” world. The (always) analytic approach of “online” versus “offline” does not apply here. For example, it concerns relations “world-person” too, or relations between us and other people and, in this context, also importance of the body. Last but not least, we speak about demands determined by the hyper-consume culture of today, where our “online/offline” identity is a subject to the cult of the body. In this perspective we can also see commodification of “online” identities, which become competitive “products” in their own “online” space.

Previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of using social networks for doing business in customer markets. The question remains as to the use of social media on business markets (B2B); as yet, only limited studies have been done. It is possible to use the internet and other interactive technologies to support doing business on B2B markets, but this field has limitations. Therefore, these marketing tools are not being used as much as they are on customer markets. The authors have determined how organizations focused on B2B markets use social networking sites (SNSs) and social CRM for contact with customers. This paper provides more detailed information from research that was conducted in the Czech Republic at the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016 and compares it with experiences taken from research focused on using social networking sites for business markets in other countries (Finland, China, Great Britain, and the USA).
