The author discusses in detail how internet journalism has become an important means of communication and knowledge acquisition, independent of space and time factors. Moreover, it has become a swift, accessible, transparent, and pluralistic platform for obtaining any desired information in the virtual world, expanding the scope of common interests and playing a key role in the development of science and information society. </p> 2026-05-13T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Сэтгүүл зүй https://journal.num.edu.mn/journalism/article/view/10930 Бүтээл дэх дүрийн мерчендайзингийн зарим онцлог 2026-05-14T07:53:06+08:00 Т.Өнөрсайхан iderjargal@num.edu.mn <p>This article discusses the seeks to dissect the practice of character merchandising so as to find out its true meaning and scope.

In recent years, the PRC has paid great attention to the media sector and is expanding the activities of television channels targeting foreign audiences. CGTN is the state television broadcaster of the PRC and broadcasts around the clock in English, Russian, French, Spanish, and Arabic. This television channel's website has a Mongolian version, where 18–22 new news items are published daily. The information policy is clearly manifested on the Mongolian version of the CGTN television channel's website. The author concludes that the CGTN television channel plays a key role in shaping the PRC's image.</p> 2026-05-13T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Сэтгүүл зүй https://journal.num.edu.mn/journalism/article/view/10932 Хиймэл оюун ухааныг хэвлэлийн мэдээ бэлтгэхэд ашиглах боломж 2026-05-14T08:07:20+08:00 Д.Сандагсүрэн iderjargal@num.edu.mn <p>"In contemporary society, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of everyday practice across multiple sectors. Intelligent applications such as ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok-3, and Claude are increasingly used for a wide range of purposes, including answering questions, generating images, producing video and audio content, and processing textual materials. This rapid technological development has also had a significant impact on the field of journalism, where AI-based chatbots are increasingly employed in the production of diverse media content.<br>In particular, the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of newspaper short news items has drawn growing scholarly attention, especially regarding its potential advantages and limitations. One of the core characteristics of AI is its capacity to generate large volumes of repetitive and standardized content efficiently. Newspaper short news, which typically follows a fixed structure and standardized formulation, aligns closely with this capability.<br>Short news items are characterized by concise content, a formulaic structure, and a strong focus on factual information. Due to their repetitive and pattern-based nature, they are especially suitable for automated content generation using artificial intelligence technologies. Compared to other genres of journalistic writing, short news offers greater feasibility for AI-assisted or AI-generated production with reduced human intervention.<br>Therefore, this study focuses specifically on newspaper short news as a genre of journalistic writing and aims to examine the possibilities of using artificial intelligence in its production, as well as to analyze the potential benefits, limitations, and implications of AI-generated content for professional journalism."</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2026-05-13T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Сэтгүүл зүй https://journal.num.edu.mn/journalism/article/view/10933 Монголын нийтлэлчдийн аян замын тэмдэглэл дэх БНХАУ-ын имиж 2026-05-14T08:14:24+08:00 У.Мандаа iderjargal@num.edu.mn Б.Наранбаатар iderjargal@num.edu.mn <p>This study examines the image of China represented in Mongolian travel narratives published in print and online media between 1992 and 2024.

Specifically, the research looks at MNB’s live Q&amp;A with Prime Minister G. Zandanshatar, the Russian Central TV annual press-conference-style feature with President V. Putin, and NTV Mongolia’s “Lkhagva’s Review” featuring former Prime Minister L. Oyun-Erdene.<br>While all three broadcasts exceeded 180 minutes-representing a massive commitment of airtime-their actual value to the public varied significantly. This analysis evaluates the cases by considering the viewpoints of the guests, the accuracy of the information, and the presence of different viewpoints. In addition, the paper analyzes the technical aspects of each program, focusing on the logical flow of the stories, the interview techniques used by the moderators, and their adherence to professional ethical standards.<br>The findings reveal a distinct gap in quality. Both the MNB and Russian Central TV broadcasts demonstrated a commitment to pluralism and constructive journalism, supported by structured participation and evidence-based discourse. In contrast, the NTV Mongolia interview, despite its unprecedented six-hour duration, suffered from a lack of diverse voices and a tendency toward repetitive, unsupported claims. Ultimately, this points to the growing risk of access journalism, where professional rigor is sacrificed for elite proximity. The study concludes that while the long-form interview remains a cornerstone of political accountability, its success depends on a foundation of logical inquiry and professional responsibility."</p> 2026-05-13T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Сэтгүүл зүй https://journal.num.edu.mn/journalism/article/view/10940 Хоёр “ухаан”-ы уулзвар: хиймэл оюуны хэрэглээ ба сэтгүүлч мэргэжлийн дасан зохицол 2026-05-14T09:02:35+08:00 Н.Ариунзаяа iderjargal@num.edu.mn Б.Баярмаа iderjargal@num.edu.mn Г.Мэндхүү iderjargal@num.edu.mn <p>"This study synthesizes findings from six independent studies to examine how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is reshaping professional journalism. While the intersection of journalism and technology has attracted growing scholarly attention, research remains limited in addressing GAI's implications for professional legitimacy, boundary work, and ethical accountability within newsrooms.<br>This article pursues three primary objectives: to identify practical applications of GAI tools in newsroom settings; to investigate how journalists define and defend their professional identity amid rapid GAI development; and to determine the ethical frameworks, responsible use standards, and institutional conditions governing GAI adoption in journalistic practice.<br>The findings reveal that GAI tools are increasingly integrated into newsroom workflows, yet their adoption is accompanied by significant professional tensions. Journalists actively engage in boundary work to distinguish their expertise from automated processes, asserting the irreplaceable value of human judgment, source relationships, and ethical reasoning. At the institutional level, the study identifies a gap between the pace of GAI deployment and the development of coherent editorial policies and accountability structures.<br>This synthesis contributes to emerging scholarly discourse on AI and journalism by highlighting the need for robust professional guidelines, transparent ethical standards, and institutional frameworks that support responsible GAI use.

The findings indicate that synthetic media significantly transforms information ecosystems by increasing the realism, speed, and reach of manipulated content.

In this context, astroturfing, defined as the artificial creation of grassroots public support, has emerged as an important issue in digital politics and information manipulation studies. This study examines the manifestations and characteristics of astroturfing in Mongolia’s digital environment through four case studies representing state institutions, government organizations, political actors, and media platforms. Using content analysis and non-participant observation methods, the research identifies several common indicators of astroturfing, including repetitive information dissemination by a limited number of accounts, coordinated sharing activities, repeated positive and negative narratives, and geographically targeted distribution patterns. The findings suggest that such coordinated digital activities may influence public perception, manipulate online discussions, and create artificial impressions of public support or opposition. The study highlights the growing importance of media literacy and the need to improve the public’s ability to recognize organized information manipulation in digital environments.</p> 2026-05-13T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Сэтгүүл зүй https://journal.num.edu.mn/journalism/article/view/10936 “Нууц товчоо”-г нухацтай судалсан бүтээл 2026-05-14T08:31:37+08:00 М.Зулькафиль iderjargal@num.edu.mn <p>This review evaluates journalistic researcher Dr. M.
