How to recognize propaganda in the media
Українською читайте тут.
Propaganda in our time went beyond totalitarian regimes. Today, it is also poses danger to democratic states that only learn to resist propaganda attacks. Ukraine, with its unstable society, the situation of the undeclared war with Russia (and, consequently, continuous information attacks within the so-called hybrid war) and media space controlled by the oligarchs is particularly vulnerable to propaganda manipulations both from the side of the aggressor country and the internal ones.
Media expert Ihor Kulias considers propaganda in the media through the prism of professional journalism standards. He gives examples of the most typical manifestations of propaganda, which at the same time are violation of standards. This simple and obvious set of indicators of propaganda can be used by anyone who does not want to be deceived and distribute false or distorted information among others. The text will be useful for teachers of media literacy, journalists, analysts and just responsible citizens.
