Media holdings as subjects of the media system of the Russian Federation: experience of complex research

Section: Media Economics

The article presents the results of the study, which formed the basis of the dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philology in the specialty 5.9.9. – Media communications and journalism. The author summarizes the work done and outlines further prospects for the development of the scientific topic. The main results of the study were previously published in the form of individual articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and a monograph. The purpose of this work is to form a holistic verified idea of the functioning of Russian media holdings in the existing economic, technological, legal and political conditions. The basic scientific problem is that such complex entities of the national media system as media holdings do not yet have a full-fledged conceptual and categorical description reflecting the various aspects and consequences of their activities.
