The Editor's-in-chief Address

Dear Reader!

In this introductory part of the new issue of «UIS», I traditionally highlight the most resonant in the national information space socially significant events over the past six months, at the center of which was journalism as a sphere of social activity and carriers of this profession.

In this way, it is possible to attract first of all the attention of researchers-journalists – students and confessors of various journalism schools and their students from among postgraduate students, masters, applicants for scientific degrees – to potential topics of a theoretical and practical nature that require collection, analysis, generalization of various empirical material and its comprehension in the context of actual, current modern problems of our specialty existence.
