In the context of an election campaign, the significance of qualitative public awareness grows exponentially. The given research studies the agenda of those media, the coverage of the election campaign, and also the possible ‘silencing effect’. An unique research design that allowed the content comparison between evening TV news and online media is developed, and also the notion of ‘silencing effect’ is conceptualized. Online media are often considered more qualitative and full-fledged sources of information; nevertheless, the research demonstrates that information concerned the elections was published on the Internet on a smaller scale and irregularly. The study confirmed that television in Russia, first of all, was an assistant to the government, directing its efforts to inform citizens about authorities and their socially significant initiatives. Besides, television covered the presidential elections in a better extent. Online media devoted more attention to scandalous news, attempted to criticize the government; however, they overlooked significant social issues.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Исследуется повестка дня телеканалов «большой тройки» и популярных онлайн-медиа в период перед президентскими выборами 2018 г. В условиях предвыборной кампании значение качественного информирования значительно возрастает. Изучены повестка дня выбранных медиа, освещение предвыборной кампании, а также возможный «эффект умалчивания». Предлагается уникальная методика сравнения контента вечерних телевизионных новостей и онлайн-медиа, а также концептуализируется понятие «эффект умалчивания». Онлайн-медиа часто воспринимаются как более качественные и полноценные источники информации, однако исследование показало, что сообщения о выборах в интернете появлялись в меньшем количестве и нерегулярно. Анализ подтвердил, что телевидение в России, прежде всего, выступало в качестве помощника правительства, направляя его усилия на информирование граждан о деятельности властей и их социально значимых инициативах. Именно телевидение лучше освещало предвыборную кампанию. Онлайн-медиа уделяли больше внимание скандальным новостям, пытались критиковать власть, однако упускали из внимания важные социальные темы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>television</kwd><kwd>online media</kwd><kwd>election covering</kwd><kwd>Russian Presidential election</kwd><kwd>intermedia agenda</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>телевидение</kwd><kwd>онлайн-медиа</kwd><kwd>освещение выборов</kwd><kwd>выборы президента России</kwd><kwd>повестка дня</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abdulla, S.M.
