Abstract:
Social media platforms employ inferential analytics methods to guess user preferences and may include sensitive attributes such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and political opinions. These methods are often opaque, but they can have significant effects such as predicting behaviors for marketing purposes, influencing behavior for profit, serving attention economics, and reinforcing existing biases such as gender stereotyping. Although two international human rights treaties include express obligations relating to harmful and wrongful stereotyping, these stereotypes persist both online and offline, and platforms often appear to fail to understand that gender is not merely a binary of being a 'man' or a 'woman,' but is socially constructed. Our study investigates the impact of algorithmic bias on inadvertent privacy violations and the reinforcement of social prejudices of gender and sexuality through a multidisciplinary perspective including legal, computer science, and queer media viewpoints. We conducted an online survey to understand whether and how Twitter inferred the gender of users. Beyond Twitter's binary understanding of gender and the inevitability of the gender inference as part of Twitter's personalization trade-off, the results show that Twitter misgendered users in nearly 20% of the cases (N=109). Although not apparently correlated, only 8% of the straight male respondents were misgendered, compared to 25% of gay men and 16% of straight women. Our contribution shows how the lack of attention to gender in gender classifiers exacerbates existing biases and affects marginalized communities. With our paper, we hope to promote the online account for privacy, diversity, and inclusion and advocate for the freedom of identity that everyone should have online and offline.

Abstract:
Recently, media and communication researchers have shown an increasing interest in critical data studies and ways to utilize data for social progress. In this commentary, I highlight several useful contributions in the International Panel on Social Progress (IPSP) report toward identifying key data justice issues, before suggesting extra focus on algorithmic discrimination and implicit bias. Following my assessment of the IPSP’s report, I emphasize the importance of two emerging media and communication areas – applied ontology and semantic technology – that impact internet users daily, yet receive limited attention from critical data researchers. I illustrate two examples to show how applied ontologies and semantic technologies impact social processes by engaging in the hierarchization of social relations and entities, a practice that will become more common as the Internet changes states towards a ‘smarter’ version of itself.

Abstract:
The integration of two of the biggest giants in the computing world has resulted in the development and advancement of new methodologies in data processing. Cognitive computing and big data analytics are integrated to give rise to advanced technologically sound algorithms like MOIWO and NSGA. There is an important role played by the E-projects portfolio selection (EPPS) issue in the web development environment that is handled with the help of a decision making algorithm based on big data. The EPPS problem tackles choosing the right projects for investment on the social media in order to achieve maximum return at minimal risk conditions. In order to address this issue and further optimize EPPS probe on social media, the proposed work focuses on building a hybrid algorithm known as NSGA-II-MOIWO. This algorithms makes use of the positive aspects of MOIWO algorithm and NSGA-II algorithm in order to develop an efficient one. The experimental results are recorded and analyzed in order to determine the most optimal algorithm based on the return and risk of investment. Based on the results, it is found that NSGA-II-MOIWO outperforms both MOIWO and NSGA, proving to be a better hybrid alternative.

Abstract:
The paper considers the new features of the digital media environment associated with the widespread introduction of platforms and algorithms in media practices and reveals the technological, business and social background of these innovations. The application of platforms and algorithms is a powerful tool for implementing the commercial imperative in the media. In general, this is a characteristic feature of the development of modern society – a trend towards comprehensive metrization. Along with the advantages, the use of predictive algorithms, personalization of content based on tracking of past communicative behavior has a number of negative social consequences. E.g., ‘filter bubbles’ contribute to the formation of closed information segments. The model of social behaviorism underlying the recommendation services contributes to the modification of people’s informational behavior. Algorithmization of media landscape strengthens the trends of content delivery to individual consumers, and not to citizens inclined to make joint decisions regarding the common interests of social life.

Abstract:
Social media produce an unprecedented amount of information that can be extracted and used in transportation research, with one of the most promising areas being the inference of individuals’ activities. Whereas most studies in the literature focus on the direct use of social media data, this study presents an efficient framework that follows a user-centric approach for the inference of users’ activities from social media data. The framework was applied to data from Twitter, combined with inferred data from Foursquare that contains information about the type of location visited. The users’ data were then classified with a density-based spatial classification algorithm that allows for the definition of commonly visited locations, and the individual-based data were augmented with the known activity definition from Foursquare. On the basis of the known activities and the Twitter text, a set of classification algorithms was applied for the inference of activities. The results are discussed according to the types of activities recognized and the classification performance. The classification results allow for a wide application of the framework in the exploration of the activity space of individuals.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use the Twitter Search Network of the Apache NodeXL data discovery tool to extract over 5,000 data from Twitter accounts that twitted, re-twitted or commented on the hashtag, #NigeriaDecides, to gain insight into the impact of the social media on the politics and administration of developing countries. Design/methodology/approach Several algorithms like the Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm, Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale algorithm and the Clauset-Newman-Moore algorithms are used to analyse the social media metrics like betweenness, closeness centralities, etc., and visualize the sociograms. Findings Results from a typical application of this tool, on the Nigeria general election of 2015, show the social media as the major influencer and the contribution of the social media data analytics in predicting trends that may influence developing economies. Practical implications With this type of work, stakeholders can make informed decisions based on predictions that can yield high degree of accuracy as this case. It is also important to stress that this work can be reproduced for any other part of the world, as it is not limited to developing countries or Nigeria in particular or it is limited to the field of politics. Social implications Increasingly, during the 2015 general election, citizens have taken over the blogosphere by writing, commenting and reporting about different issues from politics, society, human rights, disasters, contestants, attacks and other community-related issues. One of such instances is the #NigeriaDecides network on Twitter. The effect of these showed in the opinion polls organized by the various interest groups and media houses which were all in favour of GMB. Originality/value The case study the authors took on the Nigeria’s general election of 2015 further strengthens the fact that the developing countries have joined the social media race. The major contributions of this work are that policy makers, politicians, business managers, etc. can use the methods shown in this work to harness and gain insights from Big Data, like the social media data.

Abstract:
As new forms of propaganda and information control spread across the internet, the need for novel ways of identifying them increases as well. One increasingly popular method of spreading false messages on microblogs like Twitter is to disseminate them from seemingly ordinary, but centrally controlled and coordinated user accounts – sockpuppets. In this paper we examine a number of potential methods for identifying these by way of applying plagiarism detection algorithms for text, and evaluate their performance against this type of threat. We identify one type of algorithm in particular – that using vector space modeling of text – as particularly useful in this regard.
Allteftersom  nya  former  av  propaganda  och  informationskontroll  sprider sig över internet krävs också nya sätt att identifiera dessa. En  allt mer populär metod för att sprida falsk information på mikrobloggar  som  Twitter  är  att  göra  det  från  till  synes  ordinära,  men  centralt  kontrollerade och koordinerade användarkonton – på engelska kända  som “sockpuppets”. I denna undersökning testar vi ett antal potentiella  metoder  för  att  identifiera  dessa  genom  att  applicera  plagiatkontrollalgoritmer  ämnade  för  text,  och  utvärderar  deras prestanda mot denna sortens hot. Vi identifierar framför allt en typ av  algoritm  –  den  som  nyttjar  vektorrymdsmodellering  av  text  –  som speciellt användbar i detta avseende.

Abstract:
Given its relative infancy, there is a dearth of research on a comprehensive view of business social media analytics (SMA). This dissertation first examines current literature related to SMA and develops an integrated, unifying definition of business SMA, providing a nuanced starting point for future business SMA research. This dissertation identifies several benefits of business SMA, and elaborates on some of them, while presenting recent empirical evidence in support of foregoing observations. The dissertation also describes several challenges facing business SMA today, along with supporting evidence from the literature, some of which also offer mitigating solutions in particular contexts. The second part of this dissertation studies one SMA implication focusing on identifying social influencer. Growing social media usage, accompanied by explosive growth in SMA, has resulted in increasing interest in finding automated ways of discovering influencers in online social interactions. Beginning 2008, many variants of multiple basic approaches have been proposed. Yet, there is no comprehensive study investigating the relative efficacy of these methods in specific settings. This dissertation investigates and reports on the relative performance of multiple methods on Twitter datasets containing between them tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of tweets. Accordingly, the second part of the dissertation helps further an understanding of business SMA and its many aspects, grounded in recent empirical work, and is a basis for further research and development. This dissertation provides a relatively comprehensive understanding of SMA and the implementation SMA in influencer identification.

Abstract:
With the ubiquity of broadband, wireless and mobile networking and the diversity of user-driven social networks and social channels, we are entering an information age where people and vehicles are connected at all times, and information and influence are diffused continuously through not only traditional authoritative media such as news papers, TV and radio broadcasting, but also user-driven new channels for disseminating information and diffusing influence. Social network users and mobile travelers can influence and be influenced by the social and spatial connectivity that they share through an impressive array of social and spatial channels, ranging from friendship, activity, professional or social groups to spatial, location-aware, and mobility aware events. In this dissertation research, we argue that spatial alarms and activity-based social networks are two fundamentally new types of information and influence diffusion channels. Such new channels have the potential of enriching our professional experiences and our personal life quality in many unprecedented ways. For instance, spatial alarms enable people to share their experiences or disseminate certain points of interest by leaving location-dependent greetings, tips or graffiti and location dependent tour guide to their friends, colleagues and family members. Through social networks, people can influence their friends and colleagues by the activities they have engaged, such as reviews and blogs on certain events or products. More interestingly, the power of such spatial and social diffusion of information and influence can go far beyond our physical reach. People can utilize user-generated social and spatial channels as effective means to disseminate information and propagate influence to a much wider and possibly unknown range of audiences and recipients at any time and in any location. A fundamental challenge in embracing such new and exciting ways of information diffusion is to develop effective and scalable models and algorithms as enabling technology and building blocks. This dissertation research is dedicated towards this ultimate objective with three novel and unique contributions. First, we develop an activity driven and self-configurable social influence model and a suite of computational algorithms to compute and rank social network nodes in terms of activity-based influence diffusion over social network topologies. By activity driven we mean that the real impact of social influence and the speed of such influence propagation should be computed based on the type, the amount and the time window of the activities performed by a social network node in addition to its social connectivity (social network topology). By self-configurable we mean that the diffusion efficiency and effectiveness are dynamically adapted based on the settings and tunings of multiple spatial and social parameters such as diffusion context, diffusion location, diffusion rate, diffusion energy (heat), diffusion coverage and diffusion incentives (e.g., reward points), to name a few. We evaluate our approach through datasets collected from Facebook, Epinions, and DBLP datasets. Our experimental results show that our activity based social influence model outperforms existing topology-based social influence model in terms of effectiveness and quality with respect to influence ranking and influence coverage computation. Second, we further enhance our activity based social influence model along two dimensions. At first, we use a probabilistic diffusion model to capture the intrinsic properties of social influence such that nodes in a social network may have the choice of whether to participate in a social influence propagation process. We examine threshold based approach and independent probabilistic cascade based approach to determine whether a node is active or inactive in each round of influence diffusion. Secondly, we introduce incentives using multi-scale reward points, which are popularly used in many business settings. We then examine the effectiveness of reward points based incentives in stimulating the diffusion of social influences. We show that given a set of incentives, some active nodes may become more active whereas some inactive nodes may become active. Such dynamics changes the composition of the top-k influential nodes computed by activity-based social influence model. We make several interesting observations: First, popular users who are high degree nodes and have many friends are not necessarily influential in terms of spawning new activities or spreading ideas and information. Second, most influential users are more active in terms of their participation in the social activities and interactions with their friends in the social network. Third, multi-scale reward points based incentives can be effective to both inactive nodes and active nodes. Third, we introduce spatial alarms as the basic building blocks for location-dependent information sharing and influence diffusion. People can share and disseminate their location based experiences and points of interest to their friends and colleagues in the form of spatial alarms. Spatial alarms are triggered and delivered to the intended subscribers only when the subscribers move into the designated geographical vicinity of the spatial alarms, enabling delivering and sharing of relevant information and experience at the right location and the right time with the right subscribers. We studied how to use locality filters and subscriber filers to enhance the spatial alarm processing using traditional spatial indexing techniques. In addition, we develop a fast spatial alarm indexing structure and algorithms, called Mondrian Tree, and demonstrate that the Mondrian tree enabled spatial alarm system can significantly outperform existing spatial indexing based solutions such as R-tree, $k$-d tree, Quadtree. This dissertation consists of six chapters. The first chapter introduces the research hypothesis. We describe our activity-based social influence model in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents the probabilistic social influence model powered with rewards incentives. We introduce spatial alarms and the basic system architecture for spatial alarm processing in Chapter 4. We describe the design of our Mondrian tree index of spatial alarms and alarm free regions in Chapter 5. In Chapter 6 we conclude the dissertation with a summary of the unique research contributions and a list of open issues closely relevant to the research problems and solution approaches presented in this dissertation.

Abstract:
Journalism has “always been shaped by technology” (Pavlik, 2000, p.229). Social media could be seen as a technology of today, when news consumption is changing and 31% of the population worldwide are using Facebook and other social media platforms for news (Newman, 2020). Moreover, fewer pay for news (Medieakademin, 2021). Therefore, it is a challenge for news media outlets to adapt to the changing news consumption patterns, as well as they lose advertisers to Big Tech (Facht & Ohlsson, 2021). Furthermore, the credibility for Swedish news media brands is decreasing (Medieakademin, 2021). Here comes the question about the strategies that Swedish news media outlets should use in order to keep their brand credibility in times of social media. Sixteen scientists within media, communication, marketing and brand management were interviewed for this master thesis. Among the conclusions drawn are; the journalistic quality and principles such as objectivity and impartiality should go first; a new innovative business model should be found; social media has changed the landscape for traditional news media outlets; social media algorithms might have increased hostile media effects.
Journalistiken har alltid påverkats av teknologin (Pavlik, 2000, p.229). Det är sociala medier som kan ses som “dagens teknologi”. Samtidigt ändras mönster för hur man konsumerar nyheterna, och 31% av världens befolkning använder Facebook och andra sociala medier för nyhetsläsning (Newman, 2020). Dessutom är det färre som betalar för nyheterna år för år (Medieakademin, 2021). Därför blir det en utmaning för nyhetsmedier att anpassa sig till de nya mönster samtidigt som de tappar i reklamintäkter, och annonsörerna går över till de stora techbolagen (Facht & Ohlsson, 2021). Därtill har förtroende för medierna de senaste tio åren minskat (Medieakademin, 2021), och här kommer frågan om hur ska svenska nyhetsmedier bete sig i en tid av sociala medier. För den här studien har sexton forskare inom media, kommunikation, marknadsföring och varumärke intervjuats. Enligt de slutsatser som dras, ska nyhetsmedierna satsa på kvalitativt innehåll; följa de journalistiska principerna; försöka hitta en ny affärsmodell; sociala medier har förändrat medielandskapet; algoritmer på sociala medier kan ha förstärkt hostile media effect.

Abstract:
“Filter bubble” became one of the most topical words of 2016 and it was even included in the Swedish Language Council's list of new Swedish words that was presented at the end of the year. Referring to algorithmically adapted media bubbles, this phenomenon has particularly been discussed in relation to the UK Brexit referendum and the US election as scholars and journalist argue that the phenomenon, in combination with a fragmented media usage, contribute to a political polarization where each side of the political spectrum is encapsulated in “echo chambers” where opinions and beliefs are repeated like an echo rather than contested and challenged.  In a Swedish context, filter bubbles and echo chambers have mainly been discussed in relation to anti-immigration internet media (AIIM), such as Avpixlat, Fria Tider and Exponerat, as these, through their critique of established journalistic media's (EJM) reporting, appear to constitute one side of a polarized debate around immigration. Through online interviews with 13 users of AIIM, this thesis is aimed at understanding why people consume such media and if the consumers are affected by echo chambers.  Drawing on theories on online echo chambers and radical media critique, the study's findings suggest that even though the respondents’ appear to thrive on a siege mentality where anti-immigration groups are excluded sub-groups with AIIM as their only solution, the respondents' consumption of AIIM (and critique of EJM) is more likely to be based on a combination of a low level of trust in society and strong political (right-wing) beliefs. Furthermore, the study shows that the respondents are likely to be affected by both fragmentation and filter bubbles, but that they are not completely isolated in an anti-immigration media bubbles as they also rely on EJM's reporting in several ways.

Abstract:
Social computing initiatives that mark a shift from personal computing towards computations involving collective action, are driving a dramatic evolution in modern decision-making. Decisionmakers or stakeholders can now tap into the power of tremendous numbers and varieties of information sources (crowds), capable of providing information for decisions that could impact individual or collective well-being. More information sources does not necessarily translate to better information quality, however. Social influence in online environments, for example, may bias collective opinions. In addition, querying information sources may be costly, in terms of energy, bandwidth, delay overheads, etc., in real-world applications. In this research, we propose a general approach for truth discovery in resource constrained environments, where there is uncertainty regarding the trustworthiness of sources. First, we present a model of diversity, which allows a decision-maker to form groups, made up of sources likely to provide similar reports. We demonstrate that this mechanism is able to identify different forms of dependencies among information sources, and hence has the potential to mitigate the risk of double-counting evidence due to correlated biases among information sources. Secondly, we present a sampling decision-making model, which combines source diversification and reinforcement learning to drive sampling strategy. We demonstrate that this mechanism is effective in guiding sampling decisions given different task constraints or information needs. We evaluate our model by comparing it with algorithms representing classes of existing approaches reported in the literature.

Hipótese de caráter epistemológico: citações de técnicas de monitoramento na Internet parecem esboçar comportamento semelhante ao de \"cauda longa\", seguindo as mesmas regras matemáticas da Lei de Pareto do ponto de vista de alusão ou referência às técnicas. Há citações de miríades de técnicas ao mesmo tempo em que há concentrações de citações que se direcionam para apenas 20% delas ou percentual aproximado. A concentração de citações indica o grau de autoridade de algoritmos que se dedicam à atividade de monitoramento. Do ponto de vista de autores que versam sobre técnicas será possível verificar a ocorrência hubs como resultado da concentração de domínios de conhecimento sobre volume e qualidade de referências às técnicas. Hipótese de caráter prático: combinações de técnicas gratuitas ou em modelo fremium empregadas para monitoramento e mineração de dados de CGU podem auxiliar ao estudo de fãs e estudos de recepção de telenovela. Metodologias quantitativa e qualitativa, a saber: análise de hiperlinks, análise de conteúdo, estudo de caso descritivo. Resultados: amostra inicial intencional bruta de 10.642 links a partir da qual se extraiu subamostra relevante e significativa de aproximadamente 1.579 links. Resultados: a cauda longa formada por 2.139 técnicas de monitoramento identificadas privilegia citações de técnicas revelando graus de autoridade entre algoritmos de monitoramento de conteúdos gerados por usuários em sites de redes sociais.

It offers a diverse collection of perspectives on how data journalism is done around the world and the broader consequences of datafication in the news, serving as both a textbook and a sourcebook for this emerging field. With more than 50 chapters from leading researchers and practitioners of data journalism, it explores the work needed to render technologies and data productive for journalistic purposes. It also gives a "behind the scenes" look at the social lives of data sets, data infrastructures, and data stories in newsrooms, media organizations, start-ups, civil society organizations and beyond. The book includes sections on "doing issues with data," "assembling data," "working with data," "experiencing data," "investigating data, platforms and algorithms," "organizing data journalism," "learning data journalism together" and "situating data journalism."

Abstract:
The Handbook of Privacy Studies is the first book in the world that brings together several disciplinary perspectives on privacy, such as the legal, ethical, medical, informatics and anthropological perspective. Privacy is in the news almost every day: mass surveillance by intelligence agencies, the use of social media data for commercial profit and political microtargeting, password hacks and identity theft, new data protection regimes, questionable reuse of medical data, and concerns about how algorithms shape the way we think and decide. This book offers interdisciplinary background information about these developments and explains how to understand and properly evaluate them. The book is set up for use in interdisciplinary educational programmes. Each chapter provides a structured analysis of the role of privacy within that discipline, its characteristics, themes and debates, as well as current challenges. Disciplinary approaches are presented in such a way that students and researchers from every scientific background can follow the argumentation and enrich their own understanding of privacy issues.

Abstract:
The Social Media Handbook provides guidance on long-term developments in the ever-changing social media sector and explains fundamental interrelationships in this field. It describes a strategy model for the development of one’s own solutions, summarises the theories, methods and models of leading authors and shows their practical application, while also highlighting current developments and dealing with the topic of data processing in social media. An examination of the platform economy with its economic functions facilitates the classification of business models in social media. The book also shows how platforms and their algorithms can influence our actions and shape our opinions. With contributions by Prof. Karin Bjerregaard Schlüter, Andrea Braun, Franziska Geue, Tobias Knopf, Markus Korbien, Prof. Dr. Daniel Michelis, Stefan Pfaff, Thanh H.

Abstract:
Given the centrality of algorithms in the media landscape, how do they affect people’s everyday lives? Drawing on 35 interviews with social media users about their encounters with algorithms online, the chapter considers the barely perceived transitions in power that occur when algorithms and people meet. When do people encounter algorithms, and what responses and imaginations do these encounters generate? Analyzing specific situations in which users notice algorithmic mechanisms at work and start reflecting and talking about them, the chapter shows how the algorithmic output of social media becomes culturally meaningful, as seen in the ways that people form opinions about specific systems and act strategically around them. The notion of the algorithmic imaginary is put forward to suggest that it might not always matter what the algorithm is but rather how and when people imagine and perceive algorithms as this is what shapes their orientations toward platforms.

Abstract:
This edited volume examines how the growth of social media and ancillary computer systems is affecting the relationship between journalism and the pursuit of truth. Experts explore how news is perceived and identified, presented to the public, and how the public responds to news. They consider social media’s effect on the craft of journalism as well as the growing role of algorithms, big data, and automatic content production regimes. The volume’s aim is to confront these issues in a way that will be of enduring relevance; the discussions about contemporary journalism inform current students and help scholars in the future. Chapters reflect on questions such as what is different and what remains the same in journalism’s pursuit of truth now that social media has become such a prominent force in news gathering, dissemination, and reinterpretation? How has reader participation and responses changed? What are the implications for journalistic information gathering and truth claims? What is different now about the social roles of journalists and media institutions? How does interaction between journalists and social media affect democratic practices? The chapters offer a mix of empirical and critical work that reflects on journalism’s past, present, and future roles in our lives and in society. An interdisciplinary work, this volume brings together leading scholars in the fields of journalism and communication studies, philosophy, and the social sciences to explore how we should understand journalism’s changing landscape as it relates to fundamental questions about the role of truth and information in society.

Abstract:
IF … THEN provides an account of power and politics in the algorithmic media landscape that pays attention to the multiple realities of algorithms, and how these relate and coexist. The argument is made that algorithms do not merely have power and politics; they help to produce certain forms of acting and knowing in the world. In processing, classifying, sorting, and ranking data, algorithms are political in that they help to make the world appear in certain ways rather than others. Analyzing Facebook’s news feed, social media user’s everyday encounters with algorithmic systems, and the discourses and work practices of news professionals, the book makes a case for going beyond the narrow, technical definition of algorithms as step-by-step procedures for solving a problem in a finite number of steps. Drawing on a process-relational theoretical framework and empirical data from field observations and fifty-five interviews, the author demonstrates how algorithms exist in multiple ways beyond code. The analysis is concerned with the world-making capacities of algorithms, questioning how algorithmic systems shape encounters and orientations of different kinds, and how these systems are endowed with diffused personhood and relational agency. IF … THEN argues that algorithmic power and politics is neither about algorithms determining how the social world is fabricated nor about what algorithms do per se. Rather it is about how and when different aspects of algorithms and the algorithmic become available to specific actors, under what circumstance, and who or what gets to be part of how algorithms are defined.

Abstract:
As the United States contends with issues of populism and de-democratization, this book considers the impacts of digital technologies on the country's politics and society. The book provides a Marxist analysis of the rise of digital media, social networks and technology giants like Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft. It looks at the impact of these new platforms and technologies on their users who have made them among the most valuable firms in the world. The book is concerned with unfreedom and class rule in contemporary American capitalism as seen in the digital realm. Class struggle is the first and last force shaping developments in communication. The book looks at the response of the ruling class to an organic crisis in the United States, and it traces how digital media instruments are used by different factions within the capitalist ruling class to capture and maintain the commanding heights of the American social structure. The book moves on to examine the role of data and whiteness in American social life. It traces the evolving intersection of capital, security and technology to examine the broad trajectory of unfreedom. The book concludes that digital society requires significant restructuring if it is to facilitate greater democratization. Offering bold, new thinking across data politics and digital and economic sociology, this is a powerful demonstration of how algorithms have come to shape everyday life and political legitimacy in the United States and beyond.

Abstract:
The article deals with the mental-existential relationship between ethnoculture, national identity and media culture as a necessary factor for their preservation, transformation, on the example of national original algorithms, matrix models, taking into account global tendencies and Ukrainian archetypal-specific features in Ukraine. the media actively serve the domestic oligarchs in their information-virtual and real wars among themselves and the same expansive alien humanitarian acts by curtailing ethno-cultural programs-projects on national radio, on television, in the press, or offering the recipient instead of a pop pointer, without even communicating to the audience the information stipulated in the media laws − information support-protection-development of ethno-culture national product in the domestic and foreign/diaspora mass media, the support of ethnoculture by NGOs and the state institutions themselves. In the context of the study of the cultural national socio-humanitarian space, the article diagnoses and predicts the model of creating and preserving in it the dynamic equilibrium of the ethno-cultural space, in which the nation must remember the struggle for access to information and its primary sources both as an individual and the state as a whole, culture the transfer of information, which in the process of globalization is becoming a paramount commodity, an egregore, and in the post-traumatic, interrupted-compensatory cultural-information space close rehabilitation mechanisms for national identity to become a real factor in strengthening the state − and vice versa in the context of adequate laws («Law about press and other mass media», Law «About printed media (press) in Ukraine», Law «About Information», «Law about Languages», etc.) and their actual effect in creating motivational mechanisms for preserving/protecting the Ukrainian language, as one of the main identifiers of national identity, information support for its expansion as labels cultural and geostrategic areas.
