Aim. To study the relationship of the means of obtaining everyday information with the social activity of young people. Methodology. The author conducted an empirical study in which respondents were asked to evaluate the frequency of various forms of social activity and the frequency of using various means of obtaining everyday information using the developed school questionnaires.
