Journalism in Conditions of Armed Conflict

This publication offers an analytical examination of journalism operating under conditions of full-scale armed conflict, focusing on the transformation of media practices, professional responsibility, and mechanisms of trust in a highly polarized public sphere. The article conceptualizes war not as a temporary disruption of journalistic norms, but as a structural context that reshapes the logic of media production, interpretation, and audience perception. Originally published in Interview Ukraine, No. 4–2022 (April 2022), the article was written as a reporter-style analytical study addressing the impact of the armed conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on journalism, media ethics, and public communication. Due to its interdisciplinary relevance to media studies, political communication, sociology, and conflict research, the work was subsequently republished in the International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2022). The version deposited in Zenodo is provided as an author-archived publication intended to ensure long-term academic accessibility and international citation. The content, structure, and analytical framework of the article remain consistent with the original published versions and have not been substantively altered.
