Information Exclusivity in Media Activity Practices: Technological, Axiological and Pragmatic Aspects

   Relevance. The widespread use of modern information and communication technologies, in particular, social Internet media, forms a special space (media ecosystem), which is a synthesis of the human life world and its environment. In the media ecosystem, an individual faces both broad opportunities and restrictions (filters, prohibitions) when implementing social and communicative practices. Along with the study of current practices of media activity of users, the study of practices of information exclusion – related to the selection and exclusion of information - is of particular importance. Modern conditions of escalation of information and communication risks reinforce the need to study the above-described object.
   The purpose of this work is to analyze information exclusion in user practices of media consumption and media production.
   Objectives: disclosure of the conceptual framework for the analysis of information exclusion practices; identification of the main factors of institutional and environmental information exclusion; identification of key factors of personality-oriented practices of information exclusion (in media consumption and media production).
   Methodology. The article uses general scientific methods (synthesis, analysis, structural and functional approach). The empirical basis of this work is the results of the author's sociological research conducted by the online survey method (N=1000).

   Results. The presented materials present the results of the author's sociological research on the topic "Consumption and production of content in the media space". In the course of this study, the information received was collected, summarized and critically analyzed. The specifics of the practices of media activity of users in the media ecosystem are revealed.
   Conclusions. The media space and new media tools significantly shape the structure of society and the basic dynamics of modern man's life. However, the production and consumption of media content has completely changed in the modern digitized world due to the global processes of digitalization. In the realities of the development of the modern media landscape, the study of how the media activity of users, namely the social practices of media production and media consumption, is combined with various restrictions (filters, prohibitions) is particularly relevant.
