THEMATIC PECULIARITIES OF NEWS CONTENT OF THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE “CSU APPLICANT”

Abstract

The article highlights a problem of the news content of university discourse, which is topical in modern Russian and foreign linguistics. With the introduction of the Internet and information technologies into public life, the presentation of news stories has changed and requires new research. The material of the study is news stories published during the admission campaign of 2023, presented on the official website “CSU Applicant”. The main methods that were used when working with the practical material are the method of classification, which helped to identify thematic groups of news stories and the method of quantitative data processing, which was used to determine the frequency of use of the units analysed in the study. The results of the study show that the most frequent topic of news stories is the topic devoted to achievements of the university in various fields, followed by such topics as current events that take place within the walls of the university, the admission campaign, the future of the university and patriotic education.
