THE CONCEPT OF MEDIA DISCOURSE AND FEATURES OF THE ORGANIZATION OF ONLINE NEWS DISCOURSE

Abstract

News discourse is widely represented on the Internet. In a fairly short period of existence, online news discourse has acquired its own features that differ from the presentation of news in other sources. The following features of a news presentation on the Internet are highlighted in this article: efficiency (quick updating of information), concentration (presence of many news on one Internet page) and a versatile view of the event (at any time it is possible to find information on any topic). Besides, The concepts of computer, electronic, virtual and Internet discourses are widely explained and differentiated. The most general concept is virtual discourse. In this study, by virtual discourse we understand a set of texts immersed in a communication situation in virtual reality. Virtual discourse becomes a field of discourse generation, a source of a wide variety of discursive formations, among which are computer (or electronic) and digital discourses. These concepts include arrays that, in addition to texts in the Internet environment, include texts on paper that are not connected to the Internet.
