The media participate in the creation of new myths in modern society. Some of these myths have been created in the entertainment industry as well as in celebrity culture. The new media stars, ...regardless of the period of their popularity, function as part of the star strategy. However, as an element of the cultural matrix, the media also participate in the process of creating new political myths. In ethno-national and closed societies the myths function as a fundamental component for the unification of a nation and the definition of its identity. In such a context, their role is to create an image of the world, by shaping images from the past, in which people from other cultures and nations are presented as enemies.

Razvoj interneta i informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologija u suvremenome kontekstu trebao bi omogućiti mladim korisnicima učinkovito povezivanje te primanje informacija putem različitih kanala ...komunikacije radi kvalitetnije interakcije s budućim poslodavcima. Jedan od značajnijih kanala komunikacije za mlade u online prostoru zasigurno su društvene mreže putem kojih se mladi u isto vrijeme informiraju i komuniciraju. Društvene mreže posebno pridonose socijalizaciji i povezivanju korisnika u virtualne zajednice, pri čemu izmjenjuju iskustva i informacije koje mogu biti društveno korisne, pa tako i za pronalazak budućih poželjnih poslodavaca, što ujedno i potvrđuje istraživanje javnoga mnijenja iz 2022. godine o stavovima mladih i roditelja o zapošljavanju i zadržavanju u OS BiH, koji su za potrebe ovoga rada analizirani, s posebnim usredotočenjem na kanale informiranja. Kanali informiranja kojima mladi dolaze do (relevantnih) informacija veoma su bitna stavka u percepciji, identifikaciji i afirmaciji vojnoga poziva radi dobivanja kvalitetnih lјudskih resursa. Pored uvjeta rada koje ispitanici navode kao ključne elemente za zapošljavanje u OS BiH, potrebno je i učinkovito unaprijediti medijsku promociju i percepciju OS BiH u javnosti, što se posebno ističe i navodi u nizu preporuka navedenih u zaključnome dijelu ovoga rada.
Many economic theories are based on the assumption that the rules of the market are the results of “natural” tendencies of rational individuals to gain their interests, and that those »natural laws« ...enable the market to be self-regulated. Their critics insist on a more significant role of state and society in the regulation of the market. Differences between these two camps are apparent: the first approach is based on rational individuals, the second one is based on the embeddedness of markets in the social and political context. However, both approaches are based on modernist dichotomies between subject and object, individual and collective, nature and society, which make it difficult to render the complexity of linking heterogeneous actors in the market. This text will propose Actor-Network Theory as an alternative approach to understanding markets. Such an approach implies that neither can market be self-regulated nor can a state regulate it. The market is instead viewed as an actor-network in which heterogeneous actors participate in its construction and maintenance.
New media have opened new opportunities in education, which are based on inherent features of new media such as interactivity and non-linear narration. The concept of social web 2.0 media has enabled ...web users to be transformed from consumers to creators of information. However, previous studies suggested that Web 2.0 media was not not enough integrated in education because the lack of modelling for such integration as well as research-based best practices. In order to provide a model and a case study of integration of Web 2.0 media in education, we have adapted a model of information practices to design learning activities in a course at our university. Our assumption was that linking the participatory culture of Web 2.0 media and the concept of distributed cognition and creativity can be an effective way in designing learning environment. The case study confirmed that using the Web 2.0 tools in learning environments can foster students’ creativity. However, it is not enough to simply employ the Web 2.0 tools in learning environments as the level of creativity depends of the ways of using the media. If the interactivity of the Web 2.0 is not fully used, and instead these tools are used for one-way communication, there is a little chance that they will create space for distributed creativity.

The big question is whether the modern university represents a special space in which new ideas are created and man’s future reflected. This issue is present today in the context of the European ...higher education reform marked as the ‘Bologna process’. At the same time, we face dilemmas on the purpose and function of the university.
The principles of university are subordinated to the interests of the economic centers of power and that has become an essential feature of the present existence of the academic community. The scientists operate as market products, they are presented as the media spectacle and a part of celebrity culture. However, the modern social context recognizes the impact of political structures as well. This is an interesting phenomenon, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the concept of university has been often equated with the concept of the fortress − the fortress with the duty to protect the “domestic” national space.

Web 3.0 je još uvijek teoretski koncept i kao takav predmet je različitih tumačenja i pretpostavki. Iako postoje različiti stavovi o tome što predstavlja Web 3.0, očito je kako podrazumijeva uporabu ...inteligentnije tehnologije, što će računalnim spravama omogućiti razumijevanje konteksta u kojima se stvara, distribuira i percipira informacija. Današnja internetska tehnologija to nije u stanju, a Web 3.0 ili semantički web, utemeljen je na ideji definiranja strukture podataka s učinkovitijim otkrivanjem, automatizacijom i povezivanjem tih podataka u različitim aplikacijama. Web 3.0 predstavlja i novu paradigmu u području PR-a s dva bliska koncepta – Linked Data i Internet of Things. Dvije najvažnije posljedice ove paradigme su omogućiti informacijama da pronalaze ljude te da odnosi s javnošću postanu i odnosi sa stvarima. U tome svijetu PR će postati još važniji jer će PR poruke više biti usmjerene na specifične korisnike, a PR će imati veoma bitnu ulogu u stvaranju svake poslovne odluke.
