, Title: Media Coverage of the Ongoing Russia-Ukraine Conflict: A
Critical Analysis
1. Introduction:
The overarching topic of this assignment is the media coverage of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine
conflict, and its link to the module on international communication in war and armed conflicts. This
assignment aims to explore the role of international communication in providing information and
shaping the narrative during conflicts. The background of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will be provided
to establish a context for the subsequent discussions.
2. The Role of International Communication in War and Armed Conflicts:
This section will discuss the significance of international communication in disseminating
information, influencing perceptions, and shaping public opinion during wars and armed conflicts. It
will highlight how media coverage can have a profound impact on the global understanding of
conflicts, and how different actors utilize communication strategies to advance their agendas.
3. Inequalities of International Information Flow Patterns:
Here, the focus will be on the inequalities in international information flow patterns and how they
shape the narrative surrounding conflicts. Drawing from Unit 4, this section will explain the
disparities in news dissemination and consumption across various regions, with particular attention
to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Factors contributing to these inequalities, such as media ownership,
geopolitical interests, and linguistic barriers, will be examined.
4. The CNN Effect: Relevance in Contemporary Times:
The CNN effect, a hypothesis suggesting that live media coverage can shape policy decisions and
public opinion during conflicts, will be critically discussed. This section will explore whether the CNN
effect is still relevant in today's rapidly evolving media landscape where social media and citizen
journalism play a significant role in shaping narratives and perceptions. It will consider the potential
implications of the CNN effect on the media coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
5. Choose one of the following themes, read the relevant prescribed readings and
critically discuss this theme in the context of the media coverage of the ongoing
Russia-Ukraine conflict. You need to discuss (and, if possible, attach) one example of
media coverage related to your chosen theme.
