Media Anti-Discriminatory Practices in War Conditions

Abstract

With the beginning of the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the media sphere became one of the priorities of the national struggle. In the conditions of a hybrid war, the Russian Federation actively used the media space for propaganda, inciting inter-ethnic enmity and forming electoral support among the population. However, with the beginning of a full-scale military invasion, propaganda and the creation of fake news were significantly activated, however, the official media resources of Ukraine by the formation of truthful and unbiased information, as well as the development of information policy. The fight against prejudiced attitudes towards Ukrainian refugees and forcibly displaced persons, attitudes towards the war and the political situation in Ukraine, psychological rehabilitation, and support for forcibly displaced persons both in Ukraine and abroad became new challenges. These priorities became the basis for the formation of an information policy on anti-discrimination measures in Ukraine and the international arena. The study developed a model for assessing priorities and a practical algorithm for their implementation in the face of new challenges. The research methodology is based on conducting a sociological survey to form a table of parameters of the results of factor evaluation. Based on the assessment, a priority function is formed, which can be displayed by implementing a graph-correlation model. The developed proposals have practical relevance in terms of searching for new forms of implementation of anti-discrimination policy in the media space in modern global challenges.
