AI-driven transformation in ethnic news media
In many countries of the world, ethnic news media is undergoing technological transformation, resulting in the ways news is produced and disseminated.

On representation of conflict in modern academic discourse

The changing ethnic news media landscapes
Media representation of ethnic minorities and communities is important in multicultural societies that reflect ethnic cultural diversity. Therefore, the role of ethnic news media becomes crucial to give voices to marginalized communities, especially in the digital age when their cultural practices, issues and concerns can reach faster beyond the national territories. With technological advancements, ethnic news media practices are also transformi…

The abruptness of this transfer caused a variety of reactions in academic and student communities. This article presents a country…
Tensions between digital inequalities and digital learning opportunities in Russian universities during the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact upon all spheres of our life — social, economic, cultural, political, academic, and others. A shift to a new digital reality intensified already existing digital gaps and inequalities across societies and social groups within the countries and triggered a discussion about new forms of the digital divides in the pandemic and post-pandemic world. One of the areas that have been seriously affected by a shift t…

This article explores how TASS, as a state-owned news agency, has been able to retain its position as a domestic and international provider of news in competition with other state- and privately owned agencies i…
Digital divide and digital capital in multiethnic Russian society
The paper draws linkages between ethnic diversity of the eight federal districts of Russia and their technological development (access and use of ICTs, digital literacy, etc.). We show that although there is no universal correlation between ethnic composition of the regions and the level of their technological advancement, regions where Russians constitute the majority (i.e. Central and Northwestern) more often tend to be the country's leaders in…

Not surprisingly, the nature and structure of the modern Russian media system reflect political, economic, and sociocultural developments deeply rooted in the country's history. Dur…
