Fomina, G.A. Mediatization and its theoretization through the agenda.

Abstract: Lately understanding of the relations between the media and the politics becomes more and more necessary, and the politicians often address media logic, due to which they form the agenda, which becomes the source of management for these relations. While the traditional parts of political campaigns remain, and communications are implemented via personal contact, the politicians more and more often use media means of formation of the social opinion (Bennet and Entman, 2001). Due to this fact, many researchers now agree that the political changes, which announced the weakness of nationalism in the modern democracy as well as of party policy, became both the cause and the effect of the growing importance of the media, and at the same time these political changes are adaptation mechanisms for state and democracy.
