Sense and sensibility in modern Russian media discourse
(about the post-truth problem in the aspect of medialinguistics)

The present report analyzes the phenomenon of post-truth in media discourse. The term “post-truth subdiscourse” is employed to describe the way how reality is represented by mass media. Usually the post-truth subdiscourse is revealed in social networks as a result of a possible representation of an event with the help of a hash tag which means to be an unmoderated invitation to discuss it. The further discussion of the event develops as a rule into multiplication of emotional expressions in hypertext.
