Vilna nauka: news aggregator of ukrainian science based on the example of world analogues

Abstract

The research analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the world’s scientific news aggregators, their resource support. In addition, it was found that the independence of the scientific press is one of the main criteria for the success of the aggregator and compliance with journalistic ethics. The task of the research is to resolve the problematic issue of resource funding, when state funding of aggregators allows the authorities to control the process of information publication. In parallel with state funding, funds or crowdfunding platforms allow the aggregator to exist without political bias. On the other hand, public financing of science popularization platforms can lead to global questions about the existence of the aggregator as such due to the lack of necessary funding.
