Pashinyan, I.A. Myth as a source for the mass media information risks.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the mechanism of production of information risks of the mass media, as a result of the formation of myth. Information risks of mass media often appear as consequences of rather positive processes. There is an objective contradiction between the goal to provide the people with the balanced information on one hand, and the movement for the access to the mass media. The instruments for the formation of myth include such risks.
