This article examines journalism in both historical and theoretical dimensions through the lens of contemporary philosophy. It discusses the development of Western and US press, its historical stages, and the philosophical as well as social foundations of the concept of "norm." The study also explores the rise of the internet and social networks, the impact of artificial intelligence on the information space, ethical and normative challenges, and the role of journalism in today's media environment. The analysis is situated at the intersection of journalism theory, philosophy of communication, and information technology.

The findings suggest that the concepts of media space and information are deeply intertwined with human cognition and technological progress, which necessitates continuous philosophical reflection. Media space is interpreted as a dynamic and multi-layered phenomenon, evolving simultaneously in philosophical and technological dimensions. From a phenomenological and synergetic perspective, it mirrors the interactions between society and technology, offering insights not only into information and communication technologies but also into broader social and cultural processes.

The article also draws upon the ideas of John Nerone, whose research on the history of American journalism highlights its role in shaping democratic institutions, thereby enriching the philosophical and historical analysis of media as a phenomenon.
