Media Inclusion: genesis, paradigms, and themes
https://doi.org/10.21453/2311-3065-2025-13-4-13-21
Abstract
In this article, a new concept is introduced into the problematic field of sociology – «media inclusion»/«mediainclusion», which means the unifying information space in the form of open data contained in the information systems of the Russian Federation, providing free and equal access to it to all users of media. Media inclusion is not limited to simple involvement in information processes, but presupposes the presence of intermediate, programmed links that allow information to be processed and influenced by self-organizing entities operating through embedded programs. The levels of media inclusion in the modern socio-cultural space are identified, theoretically and empirically substantiated.
