[Commlist] "Media and the War in Ukraine" - new book

"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.
