Předběžná náplň práce

Tato studie zkoumá charakteristiky a cíle propagandistických narativů používaných v mediálním pokrytí rusko-ukrajinské války. Prostřednictvím obsahové analýzy 89 článků ze tří ruských médií, a to vládních, s vládou spojených a svobodných nevládních, se studie snaží objasnit povahu a cíle těchto narativů. Pomocí komparativní analýzy a technik kódování výzkum identifikuje a popisuje propagandistické narativy přítomné v článcích a uvádí příklady z reálného života, které ilustrují jejich použití. Hlavní zjištění odhalují přítomnost strategických i taktických propagandistických narativů s odlišnými charakteristikami a cíli. Studie přispívá k pochopení úlohy propagandy při utváření veřejného mínění a nabízí vhled do dynamiky šíření informací během konfliktních situací. Závěry zdůrazňují potřebu rozlišovat mezi žurnalistikou a propagandou a zdůrazňují význam vlastnictví médií a blízkosti k vládě při ovlivňování využívání propagandistických narativů.

This study examines the characteristics and purposes of propaganda narratives employed in the media coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Through a content analysis of 89 articles from three Russian media outlets, namely governmental, affiliated with the government, and free-non-governmental, the study aims to shed light on the nature and objectives of these narratives. By employing comparative analysis and coding techniques, the research identifies and describes the propaganda narratives present in the articles, providing real-life examples to illustrate their usage. The major findings reveal the presence of both strategic and tactical propaganda narratives, with distinct characteristics and goals. The study contributes to understanding the role of propaganda in shaping public perception and offers insights into the dynamics of information dissemination during conflict situations. The conclusions highlight the need to differentiate between journalism and propaganda and emphasize the significance of media ownership and proximity to the government in influencing the utilization of propaganda narratives.
