Телеграм

A comparative analysis of journalistic texts in the so-called new media (Telegram channel “Ukrayina Sejchas”) and professional media (online publication “Dzerkalo tyzhnya”) is conducted in the paper. The similarities and differences of the content are clarified (by topic, the most popular personalities who become the heroes of the news, compliance with the standards of accuracy and separation of facts from comments, or the neutrality of the news). The research method is computer analysis of texts using Python modules and Spacy natural language processing library.

The issue of spreading pro-Russian propaganda in the most popular telegram channels of Odesa region is considered in the paper. It is established that in scientific discourse there are practically no studies on this topic. The most studied problems are: the spread of propaganda in the Telegram by international terrorist groups (ISIS, Alkaida), as well as the blocking of this network in Russia and other authoritarian states.
