Abstract

The article deals with presenting media texts analysis strategy that relies on collaborative approach. The relevance of the paper is defined by the fact that media plays a critical role in transmitting world politics. As tools of manipulation in the hands of various political actors, the media impose a certain perspective on society regarding specific events, which in turn contributes to the formation of particular opinions and the making of political decisions. In today's world, it is especially 
important to be able to recognize the manipulative tools used by the media and to critically evaluate the information they publish. This enables individuals to form their own independent opinions and make more informed decisions regarding international events. Media content analysis provides a deeper understanding of the messages and images created by mediaresources. This paper describes a strategy for analyzing media texts using English-language media resources as an example.  Theoretical overview that forms the basis of the author's concept is given. Practical application of the described strategy is also outlined.
