"Media and the War in Ukraine" - new book publication



As we mark today two years since the invasion of Ukraine (February 24, 2022), Tom Divon wishes to introduce you to a book publication - "Media and the War in Ukraine" - published by Peter Lang.

Edited by Mette Mortensen and Mervi Pantti, this timely volume gathers the work from diverse scholars on the pivotal role digital media and communication play in influencing and shaping the narrative of the war in Ukraine. The book delves into the complex network of media, spanning from traditional broadcasting and press to cutting-edge social media platforms and digital technologies. The book explores four critical themes: (1) the dynamics of media infrastructures and their interactions with platforms, technologies, institutions, and civic actors; (2) the impact of open-source intelligence on the war's (dis)information; (3) the portrayal and documentation of the war's day-to-day realities on social media; and (4) the complex relationship between local and global perspectives in war reporting.
