The relevance of the article is predetermined by the need to improve the processes of retraining the creative workers of Mass Media in accordance with the reader’s demand, while adhering to the norms and rights of a democratic society. It is noted that the new journalism, founded by T. Wolfe, differs from established methods in the method of facts verification and interpretation. In the European sense of this method of creative activity, it is mostly a reportage material in which the fiction dominates the conjecture. It is stated that the ideal journalistic rule of conduct during the questioning of witnesses to reveal the truth of facts should be a universal methodology: pragmatic and accessible to all journalists. The basis of this methodology should be the national idea.

    Introduction. Publicistic discourse of the second half of the twentieth century is a valuable source for studying social and communication practices of historical and ethnographic subjects. And despite of rather considerable attention to this problem, the publications of literary regional studies are still studied a little on the pages of local newspapers.
    Relevance and purpose. The purpose of the article is to find out the peculiarities of facts verification in terms of restructuring the moral consciousness and, accordingly, correction of journalistic standards. The relevance of the article is predetermined by the need to improve the processes of retraining the creative workers of Mass Media in accordance with the reader’s demand, while adhering to the norms and rights of a democratic society.
    Methodology. The main scientific method is monitoring of newspaper and magazine periodicals, materials of Internet publications. Historical and comparative methods as a basis for analysis became necessary for a well-considered analyst based on previous scientific analysis and pragmatic experience of domestic journalists. The method of qualitative and quantitative analysis of texts is also applied.
    Results. The article deals with the problem of facts verification in modern conditions of the restructuring of moral consciousness and, accordingly, significant correction of the Journalistic standards. The questions of moral upbringing and re-education of the employees of Mass Media are considered, and the emphasis is placed on the importance of a scientific understanding of the problem. It is noted that checking the actual material, which is perhaps the main criterion for the professional definition of a modern journalist, is, in fact, a problem of moral choice.Analyzes the main ethical categories that are traditionally considered to be specific professional categories in the domain of modern journalism. A number of new factors that help to optimize the verification of factual material have been identified.
    Conclusions. The ideal journalistic rule of conduct during the questioning of witnesses should be the universal methodology for revealing the truth of the facts.
    It is difficult to create it, because, according to V. Ivanov’s remarkable remark, «it is first necessary to understand the term “methodology”. Despite the fact that this term has been used for a long time, its contents have not been determined yet».
    However, we consider the prospects of developing the theory of perception and interpretation of facts as a component of professional journalistic standards in the methodology developing. Moreover, the universal methodology, which would be both pragmatic and accessible to all without exception employees of Mass Media. Of course, the basis of this methodology should be a national idea.

    Introduction. The author’s emotions which reflected in the text are one of the topical issues in the study of journalism. By communicating with the reader through the text the author shares his feelings and experiences with him, affects his perception of the work and the formation of his own assessments not only at the level of logical judgments, but also at the level of emotions. At the same time, the emotions expressed in the text determine the image of the author of a journalistic work. One of the greatest emotional genres is the author’s column.
    The aim of the research is to identify the manifestations of emotional attitude to the object of reflection in the author’s columns of the online version of the magazine «L’Officiel Ukraine».
    Methodology. The main method of research is content analysis, which involves the search of literary and stylistic means of expressing the conception and certain language markers pointing to the author’s emotional attitude towards the object of reflection in the texts. By matching the different texts of each author and comparing them with the texts of other authors defined emotional dominant which inherent in each of the analyzed columnists.
    Results. The columns of three authors of the magazine “L’Officiel Ukraine” are analyzed. Each of them has its own style and subject matter, respectively, the objects of reflection in these texts are different, but very often the authors use similar language tools which indicate their emotional factors. The preferences and views of publicists leave remarkable mark in their writings. Considering the texts of each author, we noticed that the emotional dominant of texts is mostly stored.
    Conclusions. Each author demonstrates his own emotional attitude to the object of reflection through the use of certain literary and stylistic tools. The author’s column is the most personality-oriented genre, which allows journalists to independently choose a topic according to their own preferences and interests. The emotionality of the texts of each author, as well as his relation to the object of reflection, for the most part remains unchanged. Thus, the personality of the author is revealed already at the first stages of work on the text – the choice of the topic. In addition, there is an interaction between the author and the reader since the perception of a text saturated with certain emotions forms in the minds of the reader the image of the author and his own emotional response to both the described problem and the journalist.

  • The relevance of researching the naming of confectionery under the «Lviv Handmade Chocolate» trademark is defined by the need to study effective methods used in the food industry to create attractive commercial offer in a competitive environment in order to associate a unique product with the manufacturer, as well as increase consumer demand and customer loyalty. The confectionery market is oversaturated with offers, and enterprises that manufacture sweets using unique recipes try to create names that could help make their product stand out among other similar products in the industry. With this purpose «Lviv Handmade Chocolate» uses specific vocabulary of the West-Ukrainian dialect as a denotation. This research offers a classification of the names of sweets. It is proved that since the used dialectisms do not have any correlation with the common literary language, they will attract consumers’ attention and can therefore be considered to be an effective PR-means used by the enterprise to identify its products.

    Introduction. The relevance of researching the naming of confectionery under the «Lviv Handmade Chocolate» trademark is defined by the need to study effective methods used in the food industry to create attractive commercial offer in a competitive environment in order to associate a unique product with the manufacturer, as well as increase consumer demand and customer loyalty.
    Research methods. The objective of the research is reached using the descriptive and distributive methods, the method of linguostylistic abstraction, structural and component analysis, as well as the explanatory approach.
    Results. Due to the fact that the confectionery market is oversaturated with offers, enterprises that manufacture sweets using unique recipes try to create names that could help make their product stand out among other similar products in the industry. With this purpose «Lviv Handmade Chocolate» uses specific vocabulary of the West-Ukrainian dialect as a denotation. Since the enterprise is represented by a franchise across the entire territory of Ukraine, such naming helps to associate the products with the distinctive character of Western Ukraine and interest the customers with unknown names, thus increasing the appeal of the products in the mid- and high price range segment. This research offers a classification of the names of sweets: by the similarity in the name and the shape of sweets – metaphorical transfer; foreign loanwords; transfer of the name onto the taste of the product; indirect correlation of product name and ingredients; names-neologisms created by the manufacturer; traditional names. It is found that 72 % of «Lviv Handmade Chocolate» product names are created using metaphorical transfer based on the external look of the product.
    Conclusions. «Lviv Handmade Chocolate» uses unique confectionery names. Notably, dialectisms used in the naming do not correlate with the common literary language, thus attracting consumers’ attention. The peculiarities of the shape and ingredients of the sweets are mostly represented in metaphorical names. Thus, this method of creating names can be considered to be an effective PR-means that the enterprises can use to identify their products.

  • The article looks into the means and methods used to destroy the social actors during the Arab Spring. Attention is drawn to new phenomena in the Internet environment, in particular in social networks. Modern analysts argue that today there are two main models in the Arab political process – the Arabian and Tunisian. The Arabian model, which is implemented first in the Arabian monarchies, is leading in the current conditions of the Arab world. On the basis of the information received, it has been established that social networks and modern means of communication are increasingly used in mobilizing the broad masses of the population. As a result, the Internet plays the an effective tool role for creating and destroying social actors, as it was observed during the democratic revolutions wave in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. Similar processes can be observed in modern Ukrainian realities. As social media undoubtedly have a significant impact on the emergence of civic activism’s new forms and on the political democratic culture development.

    The role of multimedia communication in the Arab Spring

    Introduction. Social media in the Arab world before the Arab Spring were described as marginal, alternative and elitist, and their impact was minimal due to low Internet access. The events of 2011 across the Arab world caused the rise of “social media”. However, their role in recent events remains unclear.
    Relevance and purpose. The Arab Spring caused the study not only of the driving forces of this phenomenon, but also its impact on the development of social networks. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to identify the role of modern information and communication technologies in the protest movements of the Arab world.
    Methodology. General and specific methods based on objective laws of social communication, including logical and dialectical, method of analysis and synthesis and  abstract-logical method are used.
    Results. Nowadays social and political context has proven the Internet to be perhaps the most effective means of communication which can quickly reach and involve large
    population groups. In this case, the Internet is a unifying communication factor on three levels – personal, group and mass. A particular attention should be paid to a new phenomenon in the Internet, which can be described as “virtual solidarity of people”, who are online. It dramatically revealed itself during the Arab Revolutions in 2011, when large numbers of strangers united, planned and organized joint political protests using social networks.
    Conclusions. The Internet is as an effective tool for creating and destroying social actors. It acts both as a means of influence and as a means of obtaining information. The Internet usage by the opposing parties either in communication or confrontation between different groups enables the formation of different models of political development and political processes on vast territories. Thus, during the Arab Spring, we observed the emergence of two models – the Tunisian and the Arabian (in a simple terms – revolutionary and stabilizing). In both cases, the borrowing (reception) of Western principles of political culture is present, but the main difference between them lies in the means of implementation in society. At that, both cases are characterized by focusing on national traditions and preserving the Muslim religion.
