Abstracts:
In the era of information wars, modern mass media are looking for effective means of manipulating the mass consciousness of recipients. One of such means of manipulation is digital statistics. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of digital statistics as a means of language manipulation in modern media. The information data generated by statistics gives an accurate description of the events taking place. Statistical data have such properties as relevance, visibility, concreteness and officiousness, which give them special importance in the system of mass media. The probability of accepting dubious information posted in the mass media as the truth increases if statistical data is attached to it. Therefore, digital statistics is regarded as one of the most powerful tools to influence people.
The article analyzes the issue of language manipulation in the light of digital statistics in Russian- and English-language media. The spheres of human activity in which the manipulation of digital information is most used are indicated. Digital statistics is understood as one of the means of language manipulation in the media. The role of digital statistics and its impact on the addressee is determined.
