Abstract
The information activity is becoming necessary for a society, one of the most important and influential factors of stability of any state in the modern conditions. The presence of analytical information in information activities makes them a reliable basis for management decision making. The content of the concept of “analytical information” is clarified in the proposed research. The specifics of analytical documents functioning in the field of public administration are characterized. The determining principle for preparing such analytical documents is the need to provide compressed information for its use without additional reference to the processed source materials. The ways to improve the functioning of analytical information in the department of information activity and public communications of the regional administration are suggested.
