The role of the Media in the Formation of Statehood in Ukraine and the USA
Abstract
Abstract. In modern realities, the greatest value is information from a wide range of sources – radio, newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet. This leads to the need to regulate the organization and activities of print and online media, which is now recognized as a priority task both in Ukraine and in other countries, in particular the United States of America. The purpose of the article is to analyze the role of the media in the formation of the statehood of these countries. To achieve the goal, the following research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, abstraction, historical, legal, etc. The constitutional and legal foundations of the organization and activity of the media in both countries were analyzed, which made it possible to thoroughly substantiate their place and status in modern civil society. Particular attention is paid to the issue of violations of the rights and status of media established in the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as to the determination of the main causes of these violations. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the classification of the media was carried out in view of the degree of dependence on the state, which will contribute to a better understanding of the specifics of their activity. The practical value of the scientific article lies in the fact that the proposed analysis of media activity in Ukraine and the United States of America from the standpoint of their influence on the formation of the state and society in general will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of media policy and the protection of freedom of speech, and therefore is important for the development of democracy and human rights.
Keywords: information; state; freedom of speech; media resources; content; policy; journalist; public.
