Urban Media in the Information Field of the Provincial Monotown (On the Example of Alexandrovsk, Perm Krai)

The article discusses the information field of Aleksandrovsk, one of the most depressed cities in the Perm region. The emphasis is placed on the largest groups of local media in the social network VKontakte, viewed as new urban media. It is shown that the negative image of the city created by the federal, regional and city media is adjusted by the citizens themselves in a positive way.
