Ukrainian Media in Times of War
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
The media market in Ukraine has changed radically since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022: the era of oligarchic media dominance is over, while social media has gained significantly more importance. Despite all the war-related challenges and structural changes, Ukrainian public discourse has preserved a relative degree of pluralism. Ukrainian society can still choose from a large number of different periodicals, channels, platforms, and other largely inde-pendent means of mass communication to receive relevant social and political news.
