Mass media, mobile internet, authoritarian media systemAbstract
Freedom and independence of the mass media are the cornerstone responsibilities of any democratic society. Mass media serves as a vital channel of dialogue between the government and the public. Regardless of an individual's personal will or intention, media structures create a special environment saturated with information flows produced by the media. A person who is part of a society cannot avoid interacting with this informational space; they perceive and process various streams of information and their functions according to the worldview shaped by the influence of the media.
