The desire to find convincing messages that set the political organization apart from its opponents has made us witness a violation of the good tone of political speech. In order to trace the language used during the July 11 parliamentary election campaigns, a review of the online publications of parties and coalitions (websites and Facebook profiles) was conducted. The research shows hostile rhetoric from almost all parties, using different methods of hate speech, incl. doublespeak, veiled hostility, presenting opponents as a public threat, etc.","PeriodicalId":254824,"journal":{"name":"Media and Language Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125482698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to gather attention and build excitement, a company must consistently advertise, display and disseminate news about its upcoming project. This rule applies to any type of industry, including the video game industry. However, is it possible for a product to be commercially successful without any effort on the part of the company to make it so? This is the purpose of the present study, which examines the case of the advertising campaign for the video game „Elden Ring“ and the corresponding inaction of its marketing department. The study concludes that the initial excitement caused by the fans may be enough to gain attention, and without much effort on the part of the company.

The new dynamic information environment requires the application of special communication skills, as well as new forms of social interaction between organizations and target audiences to achieve high levels of engagement and effectiveness in communication. For a better understanding of the transformation in communication, it is necessary to trace different communication models that are used for a thorough study of the communication process in the field of public relations. It is also important to outline the influence of digitalization to define an integrated environment that implies a dialogic approach and a new type of management of communication processes.

Chat GPT is both a channel of communication and an equal participant in the communication process. In such a way, a correction has been made in the classical models of communication, such as the models of Schramm or Shannon-Weaver, where the sender, the receiver and the channel are separate elements in the communication process. The fact that Chat GPT can be both the sender and the channel of the message predetermines its significant role in communication. In addition to the numerous advantages of the artificial intelligence, the paper also examines some serious challenges that modern civilization has faced, such as the questions of the development of cognitive abilities, talents and skills of individuals in the presence of chatbots, the interrelations between technology and psychological well-being of human beings, and the need for legal and ethical regulation of the use of Chat GPT.","PeriodicalId":254824,"journal":{"name":"Media and Language Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114152103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
