As the communicational environment, cyber space transmits formed inside it values, which are often associated with acts of symbols consumption, also created in the network.Due to the fast changes in the dynamics of new media features, the constant monitoring and research in this sphere seems to be perspective direction to explore within modern sociology. The article discusses the features of the modern media consumption in the Ukrainian society.
