changes are considerably determined by the media space parameters and development of the media and media technologies. Thus, the media space creates a transformation vector of mechanisms forming the political space through the change of basic principles of interaction between the state and society. The paper studies the features of the media space of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author shows that the media in this country perform a function of informing the population about events and processes, however, journalists usually refrain from judgements that are different from the government’s official position.

Key words: media space, mass media, information market.
