Abstract

In connection with conceptual changes in the globalized information society, the authors comprehend the drift from a relatively free media system with competition of post-truths and everyday expertise to the systems regulated by national legislation based on value and civilizational guidelines. The research question is whether it is possible to preserve the former architecture of the media space at the global and national levels. The article notes that the information space is in the phase of destruction of the informational and social mainstream, when the principle of social management through the cascading of narratives in a demediatized space works. The authors identify the characteristic features of the transformation of the model of socio-informational processes management against the background of postreality, suggesting a deeper degree of intervention in human social life, both at the level of socially involved groups and individually. The implementation of postreality mechanisms is impossible in the conditions of media degradation and demediatized space. The following hypothesis is put forward and tested: further information demediatization of the unified information space, which is losing its global integrity, is strategically impossible without partial remediatization. The processes characteristic of the current stage of information society development will require a return to media platforms, country (regional) information segments will be built around them.
