Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technologies in the formation of a new technical and economic paradigm has changed the structure of the modern media landscape.The article shows the change in media consumption in Kazakhstan as a result of technological development and popularization of the Internet.The reflection of this change is a convergence, which becomes synonymous with backbone transformations in the media sphere.The central place of convergence problems in modern discussions about the future transformation of the information and communication sphere is explained by the multiplicity and multi-dimensional interpretation of this term.Convergence seems to be a process that can completely change not only media and communication systems but also various related industries in the coming decades.
