THE MODERN PARADIGM OF JUSTICE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE “MEDIA” SOCIETY

Abstract

In this paper, the term “paradigm” is used in its traditional sense, referring to an example, model, or sample with respect to the topic under discussion. The author argues that widespread digitization of public administration and everyday life is leading to a transformation in the conceptual content of justice in modern society, especially in the legal system. This change is not only due to technological advances, but also to geopolitical factors. The development of high-tech products, increased demand for innovative solutions, and the formation of new economic connections require a re-evaluation of public relations in the light of digitalization. The rapid growth and expansion of the global Internet, as well as the emergence of personal computers, mobile communications, and smartphones are transforming not only the way information is transmitted but also the nature of social, economic and political interactions. The integration of information and communication technologies into mass communication has led to the convergence of informatization and media processes within society, transforming the way of conducting public relations. This trend has implications for justice and the judicial system. The author considers the “paradigm of modern justice” as a “new model of administration of justice”.

The impact of digitalization on judicial proceedings, the organizational and technical aspects of judicial information systems, and the image of courts and judges in media and digital environments are analyzed. Issues related to the exchange and dissemination of information on justice in both traditional and online media, as well as the influence of new information services on the justice system, are also considered.
