Abstract: The author of the article operates with concepts of the Mediapolis and a media life that characterize a modern environment for the individual and society. The analysis develops the idea of the Mediapolis that was offered by British researcher Roger Silverstone and received support from other known theorists. The author’s attention is focused on everyday practices of interaction of the individual with the media. Through this prism the needs for the media are considered as well as the behavior of the citizen; the infrastructure and system of media; manpower of media manufacture; changes in management; speech communication and cultural consciousness of community. The Mediapolis represents a specific analogue of the real city taken in its media hypostasis. Taken together these features comprise the content of the research project “The Modern Russian Mediapolis” which is carried out at St Petersburg State University.
