Analysis of media coverage of the war in Ukraine

Cilj diplomskega dela je bila predstavitev vloge medijev pri poročanju o vojni, kar bomo s primerom vojne v Ukrajini raziskovali v okviru diplomskega dela. Ugotovili smo, da imajo mediji pri poročanju o vojni velik vpliv na oblikovanje mnenj posameznikov in javnega mnenja. Ruski napad na Ukrajino je bil označen kot prva "vojna družbenih omrežij". Dinamičnost, ki jo družbena omrežja omogočajo, sicer odpira nove možnosti za hitro razširjanje novic in večji doseg občinstva. Pomanjkljivost takega poročanja pa se kaže v tem, da so izpostavljene temu, da se dojemajo kot neverodostojne, medtem ko je televizija v očeh večine najbolj verodostojen medij.The aim of the thesis was to present the role of the media in reporting on the war, which we will explore with the example of the war in Ukraine as part of the thesis. We found that the media, when reporting on war, has a great influence on the formation of individual opinions and public opinion. Russia\u27s attack on Ukraine has been described as the first "social media war". The dynamicity made possible by social networks opens up new possibilities for the rapid dissemination of news and greater audience reach. The disadvantage of such reporting is that they are exposed to being perceived as unreliable, while television is, in the eyes of the majority, the most credible medium
