Through these models media academia and media industry can be interconnected and it gives answers to the questions that how to bridge the gap between media academia and media industry. This study is based on the existing researchers’ opinions, models and theories. To achieve the goal authors, use literature review, theoretical analysis and synthesis as well as followed abductive research approach (it is a form of logical inferences which starts with an observation and predict to construct models or theory) to understand the existing expert’s opinions towards media education.

Having analyzed a number of published research papers, the authors of the article come to conclusion that manipulations in the scientific world can, inter alia, manifest themselves in the following forms: - substitution of the authorship, that is, replacement of the surname of a little-known author with the surname of a scientific celebrity (manipulation technique "appeal to an authority") subsequently distributing the now false scientific text on the Internet. This manipulative technique, in the absence of an authenticity check obligatory in such cases, causes a whole loop of citations and references in scientific journals of different countries, since scholars who cite the fake are mistakenly convinced that they are dealing with a genuine article from a respected author; the purpose of this manipulation is not to derive direct benefits for the manipulator, but a kind of scientific trolling: to prove to the academic audience that by falsely attributing the name of an author authoritative in the scientific world to someone else's mediocre text, it is possible to make other scientists take this fake for genuine scientific work; - the use of scientific works written in a foreign language (without correct references and citations) in their publications (manipulative technique of direct plagiarism) for gain purpose of appropriating another person's piece of writing, passing it off as their own. The present study has revealed an urgent need both for researchers and for academic journals' editors – to carefully verify quoted sources that may be false. Representatives of the scientific world, traditionally considered to be the most informed community, must not become victims of manipulative influences.

The article gives the theoretical justification of a professionally oriented approach to the analysis of the film and its application in the educational process.

The results of the study of the potential of Soviet feature films about children in the war as a means of moral and civic education and the ideas of future teachers about the conditions and ways of using these films in educational work are analyzed.

Empirical basis of this research includes 103 papers published from 2015 through 2019 in such established scholarly journals as Media Education, Political Linguistics, Political Studies, Herald of Moscow University. Series 10: Journalism, Media Scope, Political Expertise, and Media Linguistics. Articles sampled were then conveniently divided into two groups: a so-called “media literacy” group consists of 45 papers explicitly dedicated to various aspects of media education and related topics; “indirect” group is comprised of 58 articles dealing with the issues that are not directly connected to media education or media literacy but touch on adjacent notions and processes. Special attention is paid to the following features: – specifics of the articles’ authors corps (including their scholarly background, academic degree holders rate, and places of residence); – content blocks, keywords, and scholarly classifiers of the articles; – geographical focus and key age objects of the articles; – structural elements and types of the articles; – the most popular research methods and definitions of media literacy used by the authors; – the most often quoted papers and authors. Two centers of media education research (i.e. Taganrog and Moscow) are distinguished. The most challenging and potentially high in demand aspects of media literacy scholarships are outlined.

The article attempts to analyze the linguistic identity and describe fragments of the speech portrait of the eminent Russian media critic Kirill Razlogov. A comprehensive linguo-pragmatic analysis of speech means – carriers of pragmatic meaning, united by one type of discourse – media critical discourse, allows, through the interpretation of its individual elements (pragmatic meanings and meanings, updated by the author of the texts, K.E. Razlogov) to reveal their individually and conventionally conditioned features of positioning in relation to the objects and subjects they represent (including the recipients of the text), to analyze the main dominants of the critic's evaluation of various fragments of reality, to diagnose his individual personality qualities. The proposed hierarchical model of the language personality is regarded in a multi-stage approach to its study – from a concept to the language, from the language to speech (discourse), from speech to national pragmatics, and national communication. In this sense, the category of “the media critic's linguistic personality” is considered as a universal intercultural concept with a nuclear and peripheral zone. The nuclear characteristics include common signs of the speech activity of the media critic: high professionalism, linguistic culture, dedication to the profession, straightforwardness, openness, courage. At the peripheral level, there are characteristics of a linguistic personality, within the signs of media communication are manifested: emotiveness and expressiveness. At the level of verbalization of positive and negative emotions, the following emotionally expressive dominants are distinguished: the prevalence of a critical attitude to reality, the relative incontinence of discourse manifestations of emotion, external indifference of behavior, dependence on contextual background, openness/straightforwardness. Speech behavior of K.E. Razlogov is distinguished by persistence and perseverance, prudence, constancy, tact, a tendency to underestimate the level of awareness and interest of the reader.

Today, not only the Russian Federation, but the world community as a whole, is facing a new challenge to global security – the need to protect modern means of communication from their rapid transformation into propaganda weapons of fundamentalist terrorist groups. Media content is one of the most dangerous aspects of modern terrorism. The media is the most efficient and effective way to influence the mass understanding of terrorism. In this regard, the key goal of all subjects of informative counteraction to terrorism is to create a system that provides coverage of acts of the terrorist nature only from unfavorable positions. In the field of counter-terrorism, the results of media activities can have both a positive effect that helps society and government agencies in the fight against this threat, and, on the contrary, an extremely negative one. An important area of discrediting terrorist and extremist organizations in society is changing the way national security is ensured in the media sphere, first of all, preventing actions of a propaganda nature. Today, it is very important that the media become a powerful means of fighting terrorism and preventing it.
