The oral presentation titled «Experimental study of classroom reading» was given by methodologist and wordsmith Ts. P. Baltalon at the 2nd All-Russian Congress of Pedagogical Psychology in St. Petersburg in 1909. In the published paper, the author presented himself as a researcher of school psychology. This study was focused on the school student’s reading interests. The study was conducted using a survey among 1600 respondents of different ages and different types of schools. It allowed the author to draw a conclusion about school students’ reading preferences and correlate them with the content of educational chrestomathies for classroom (program) reading. This study allowed the author to conclude that the composition of school chrestomathy neither in content nor in genres of the proposed texts does not meet the reader’s interests of the school students. Baltalon proposed to replace the chrestomathy with pamphlets of artistic and popular science content, reading and in-depth study of which should make classroom reading an interesting activity for school students. In order for this to take place, teachers and publishers need to work together. The purpose of the article is to present the concept of educational reading by Ts. P. Baltalon and briefly describe its main provisions.

The purpose of this study is to explore and to identify the existing problems of modern reading and to suggest possible solutions. The study focuses on the role of different forms of reading in development and shaping of personality in the digital age. Radical and rapid technological developments in the world, especially after the 2000s, including devices such as computers, internet, smartphones, tablets, e-books and e-readers, have also changed the reading people behavior. Digital reading has started to become a popular type of reading in the digital world. Important issues such as popularity of digital reading he world, reading preference trends in printed and digital formats, reading preferences by age groups and how future developments in this regard need to be examined. This study defines and examines first the basic concepts of digital reading and also the advantages and disadvantages of digital reading. In addition some statistical data regarding printed and digital reading in various countries around the world were interpreted as well as the results of the research conducted in Turkey were evaluated in the study. It can be said that digital reading is becoming increasingly popular in the world in general, but not very quickly. All age groups still prefer printed formats primarily. It can be said that the preferred reading type may vary depending on the purpose of reading, and in general, digital reading is preferred choice for academic-scientific and educational reading. Printed reading is favored for leisure reading. At the end of the study, some predictions and suggestions were made regarding the future trends of digital reading. The main result shows that reading under the influence of the socio-cultural environment is changing all over the world. These transformational phenomena manifest themselves in both positive and negative senses. The author drew our attention to the fact that children and teenagers should develop both types of reading. The author noted that families, teachers, schools and libraries should play an important role in this case.

The turn of the 20th and 21st centuries was the time of formation a new social reality, where books and reading lost their leading positions to new media technologies. The index of media activities for reading on paper continues to decline steadily. The formation processes of a technogenic society in the country as well as digitalization and convergence of media industry, including publishing, bookselling and library complex and mass media in the early 21st century brought a powerful contradiction. On the one hand, serious threats to the existence of books and reading have arisen, but on the other hand, new opportunities for maintaining and enhancing book culture have appeared. Under these conditions, the professional community has taken effective measures to stimulate public interest in books, reading and libraries. It involved interested organizations in this process; developed special programs and projects for the promotion and development of book culture; created special centers at libraries and universities dedicated to the study of modern reading; provided scientific, methodological and practical assistance to libraries. The professional community also organized the largest professional forums and campaigns to attract the public to reading. The purpose of the article is to show how various institutions, centers, government structures and creative unions in Russia support, promote and popularize the reading. This article allow us to get acquainted with the most successful experience of existing and/or newly created organizations and public associations carried out educational, informational and research activities in the field of books and reading.

In recent years, the processes of media consumption have exposed a significant transformation. The place of reading in its structure also has changed. The article discusses the similarities between reading books and magazines as a process itself and sociocultural practice. The author suggests that book, magazine and news media consumption is in a relationship of mutual support and mutual influence. The author argues that the habit of such "long" reading is being influenced by crisis phenomena in the periodical segment: a sharp decline in readership, a decline in print circulation and difficulty in accessing. In recent years, the focus on electronic formats of publications has been the main direction in the transformation of reader practices. If e-books are considered as the same "long” reading practice, the similarity with media consumption practices on the Internet, especially in social networks, is doubtful. Despite the fact that in the Internet and social networks the audience also "reads", the intellectual ethic of consuming quick unrelated pieces of information from a variety of sources is changing this sociocultural practice itself. Soon, book reading, quite possibly, will depend on the accumulated practices of Internet surfing, Internet reading and the ability of people to deal with long texts.

The article implements the idea of mediatization as a process of transformation of mass communication industry. Nowadays, the current system of mass communication is under the pressure of digital transit, which is transgressive in nature. It breaks traditional business patterns; requires business administration to make mental changes in thinking and management practices; creates the highest level of tension among media managers. The article attempts to conceptualize (through the analysis of industrial ‘points of tension’: between television and online video – players of the cross-media measurement) some aspects of the digital transformation of the media industry and industrial management practices. The conflict between the digital environment generated by the relatively free development of the Internet and the purposefully organized and institutionalized state-controlled media lies at the core of this transformation.
