Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, now in its third year, has been described as the most heavily mediated war of our time. The coverage of the war by media reporters has been supplemented by a sprawling wartime ecosystem of social media content generated by Ukrainians – government officials, activists, volunteers, military and casual users. Reckoning with the role of media technologies, infrastructures and practices deeply embedded in the war is therefore high on the scholarly agenda. This edited volume, Media and the War in Ukraine, makes an early and necessary contribution to this effort.

Abstract

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, now in its third year, has been described as the most heavily mediated war of our time. The coverage of the war by media reporters has been supplemented by a sprawling wartime ecosystem of social media content generated by Ukrainians – government officials, activists, volunteers, military and casual users. Reckoning with the role of media technologies, infrastructures and practices deeply embedded in the war is therefore high on the scholarly agenda. This edited volume, Media and the War in Ukraine, makes an early and necessary contribution to this effort.
