CHARACTERISTICS OF INFORMATION SUPPORT FOR STATE POLICY IN THE FIELD OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Resumo

Objective: The article presents an investigation into the implementation of information support for state policy in the field of higher education in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the problem is determined by the specificity of the powers imposed on state bodies, which have recently undergone a series of changes. The study aims to test the congruence between the responsibilities assigned to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (as a key player in this policy) and the information policy it carries out. Method: The research method includes a content analysis of materials posted on the main media resources of the Ministry. Results and Conclusion: The conducted content analysis shows that the information support of state policy in the field of higher education in the Russian Federation on social media carried out by the Ministry as the key subject partially corresponds to the assigned responsibilities. However, the content posted can only indicate formal management of social networks without recognition of their social significance. Therefore, while the Ministry's presence in the social media landscape aligns with its responsibilities, the content it shares could be seen as lacking in substantial social impact.
