Ukraine in the media 3222-35UM3K-N
During the class, we will define what media is and characterise Ukraine's image in the global media before and after the war of 2022. We will discuss the specifics of the Ukrainian media, with particular emphasis on the role of the media during war and revolution (the 2014 war in eastern Ukraine and the role of the media after 2022 in a situation of full-scale war). We will look at the role of disinformation and fake news spread by Russian propaganda, as well as the role of the media in shaping Ukraine's diplomatic strategy. We will also compare the approaches of different countries and media companies. One of the topics will be culture and literature promoted through the media.
