The information sphere is of key importance for the modern individual, society and state and has a comprehensive impact on the ongoing economic, political and social processes in the countries and regions At present, the information sphere in the Republic of Belarus is characterized by a high level of access to mass information for the population of the country. In the coming decades, all sectors, markets and spheres of life of the state should be reoriented to the new digital models. Thus, the role of news journalism is increasing, since it is news that is the most operative means of transmitting data. In this regard, the presence of this genre in the media is increasing. Consequently, the filling of print, audiovisual and electronic resources with news items is expanding, leading to a lack of filtering of messages both in the newsfeed and in the subconscious of the audience.
