Text-forming strategies in television information texts as a result of clip thinking

The subject of this study is the text-forming strategies of television news texts, which are changing under the influence of the development of clip thinking in the audience as a specific cognitive feature of the digital age. The mechanisms of adaptation of television discourse to the transformed perception of information are analyzed, characterized by fragmentation, the dominance of visual stimuli, the desire for immediate emotional reaction, and a decrease in the level of reflective processing of incoming messages. Special attention is paid to changes in the compositional organization of news texts, the specifics of linguistic design, as well as techniques for attracting and retaining viewer attention through the use of infotainment, visual triggers, emotionally charged elements, and narrative strategies. The study aims to identify the characteristic features of modern television media texts influenced by clip perception of reality and to systematize the main directions of the transformation of news broadcasting based on an analysis of scientific literature and current trends in television discourse. The analytical-descriptive method used in the study is aimed at revealing the features of the transformation of television media texts under the influence of clip thinking. The analysis relies on the comparison of theoretical positions with the main trends of modern television discourse reflected in the scientific literature. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the description of text-forming strategies of television informational discourse shaped by the processes of clip transformation of the audience's consciousness. For the first time, key manifestations of the adaptation of media texts to the changed conditions of information perception have been systematized and classified within a single study: simplification of syntactic structure, increased lexical accessibility, enhanced emotional saturation, active use of visual components, and the transition to multi-platform forms of presenting news content. It has been established that these processes facilitate the prompt transmission of information and enhance its attractiveness to the audience, but at the same time create risks of reducing the depth of analytical comprehension of events, superficial absorption of content, and increased manipulative potential of media texts. The conclusion is drawn on the necessity of further studying ways to preserve the cognitive value of television media texts and maintain a balance between the effectiveness of communication and the depth of information perception in the context of the dominance of clip thinking in modern media consumption.
