GOALS AND SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL In Bulgarian science, the potential for research into media language and the mediatization of social activities is high, but the popularization of the results of scientific research in this area is weak. They are scattered in collections (e.g., the proceedings of conferences devoted to the problems of Bulgarian colloquial speech and oral communication at the Bulgarian University of Technology, proceedings of conferences devoted to the problems of Bulgarian sociolinguistics, etc.) and are often difficult to find among the rich issues discussed at such scientific forums. Bulgaria lacks a scientific periodical that would popularize scientific research in the areas of medialinguistics and mediastylistics and serve as a catalog for everything done in this area. The scope of the publication is two rapidly developing scientific directions – medialinguistics and mediastylistics, which study the regularities of the effective use of the entire complex of language resources in the public sphere and, in particular, in the various situations of media and public communication. As disciplines that combine the linguistic approach with the media and the public field in general as an object of study, i.e. as linguistic and sociological disciplines, medialinguistics and mediastylistics deal with the functioning of language levels in media and public speech, with the interrelationships of media language practice with language norms and codification, with the standardization of mass language errors in the media and public organizations, with trends and processes in media speech and the speech of society, and many, many other problems. Media linguistics is interested in the processes of mediatization of contemporary society and in the various aspects of the impact of the media on the audience (e.g. journalistic discourse, advertising, public relations, branding, art, politics, etc.), as well as in the peculiarities of the functioning of power discourses and the processes of mediatization of politics and culture through language and style. Understanding the main categories of media discourse and the application of methods of analysis, rhetorical knowledge for creating texts that function in mass communication, and understanding the peculiarities of localization of media products with consideration of culturally determined differences in the media space is an essential part of research in the field of media stylistics. The goal of the journal "Media
