PRESS AND POWER: THE HYPERBOLOID FOCUS

Abstract

The article deals with theoretical and applied issues of interaction of journalism and politics in the circumstances of transition of the Russian society from the industrial mode of development to the post-industrial one. At the same time, a special role is given to the media culture as a qualitative moral and practical product of this interaction generated by the press performing not only its generic functions of «informing» and «mediation», but also the social mission of journalism in general.
