The book represents the first Russian attempt to study specifics of information work in the state apparatus. Information work is examined as a special format of public administration. The manual covers analysis of the content of information space, various stages of the information process, the state of information balance, and presents the subjects and objects within an information process. Drawing upon their own experience and that of their colleagues, the authors offer practical recommendations on organization of work with mass media in government agencies, including sectoral and regional levels of administration.
The book is intended for press secretaries, senior officers of government agencies and local administration bodies, who need to be aware of the opportunities offered by information work and its limitations.
