THE EMERGENCE OF ONLINE JOURNALISM IN THE WORLD

The digital environment makes the notion 'journalism' quite a loose concept as well as changes content consumption patterns. At present traditional media is undergoing a transformation. Both digital communication and gadgetization strengthen the role of journalism and generate such new media paradigms. The identification of a new role of journalism is the main task of this article. We would like to take a look at trends and tendencies occurring in both emerging digital environment and journalism. For this purpose the hypothesis that there are two key functions of journalism in the digital environment has been advanced. 1function of «self-identification»: Info-communication media supplements traditional media content with some content and products of new media. Digitalization eliminates differences between mass media and types of social media content. Mass communication is becoming 'customized' and 'personal niche', the most corresponding to interests and preferences of a user. An internet platform gives a reader a possibility to highlight his role by choosing a particular platform on the ground of some competitive advantage. 2 -function of «initiation»: By putting forward the function of 'initiation', we appeal to the case where the use of the term 'initiator' in relation to the rite of initiation (registration on any social network) is permissiblein reference to a person or a group of people who insisted on carrying it out.
