О соотношении сообщений позитивной и негативной тональности на русскоязычных информационных онлайн-ресурсах
The article presents the results of a study conducted at the Higher School of Economics (HSE) on the corpus of texts of the monitoring system Factiva, published in 2020. The purpose of the study is to identify the quantitative relationship between positive and negative tone publications on Russian-language online resources in comparison with publications of foreign publications in foreign languages. A noticeable shift of Russianlanguage materials into a negative tone was found. A connection has been found between the shift to a negative tone and the type of media - the greatest negative shift is observed on the websites of newspapers, the least - on the websites of TV channels. It has been hypothesized that the negative nature of the coverage of events in 2020 is mainly due to the covid epidemic. However, this hypothesis has not been confirmed - the negative coverage of events in the Russian online media in 2020 is more related to other topics - crime, offenses, etc.
