Abstract

This study examines the features and interrelationships of the political system and the media sphere of Algeria in the context of digitalization. The article analyzes the influence of the unique historical and cultural context, the strategic geopolitical position and the evolution of the semi-presidential republic on the formation of the media system, its role in maintaining national identity and the mechanisms of regulating the information space. Special attention is paid to the institutional aspects of the functioning of the Algerian media in the context of their interaction with government agencies and public processes. The research focuses on the role of media in shaping the political agenda, the impact of public policy on the development of the media sector, as well as on the challenges associated with globalization, digital transformation and the expansion of the social media space. The work offers a comprehensive analysis of the current changes in the Algerian media ecosystem and their impact on political stability, civil society and the adaptation of traditional values in a rapidly changing digital world. The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of political science, media studies and cultural studies. The main methods are: system analysis, comparative analysis and analysis of secondary data. For the first time, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the Algerian political system and the functioning of its media sphere, taking into account the historical stages of its formation, modern challenges and the impact of globalization processes. The key mechanisms of the impact of public policy on the development of the media sector, including legal, economic and social aspects, have been identified, which made it possible to reveal the specifics of regulating the media space. An in-depth analysis of the digital transformation of the Algerian media space has been conducted, focusing on the role of social networks and online media in strengthening civil society, as well as problems related to the restriction of freedom of information. Based on the data obtained, recommendations are formulated on reforming the media system to adapt it to the conditions of globalization and digitalization, aimed at strengthening democratic institutions and increasing the effectiveness of interaction between the state, society and the media.
