The paper investigates the deliberative potential of the new (digital) media space, focusing on anthropological transformations. The theoretical provisions of the study are substantiated by empirical data that were obtained as a result of a massive online survey of Russian youth. The given paper presents the distribution of opinions of young respondents about the possibilities of digital media in the formation of a deliberative public digital space. Based on the survey results, the authors carried out an exposition of anthropological dynamics, determined by the specifics of modern (digital) media, which reveals signs of a humanitarian crisis. Digital media make the world horizontal, creating the illusion of universal equality. As a result, the sphere of public discourse transformes: the ways of discussing, informing, educating, and presenting facts are fundamentally changing.
