“…Повертаючись до нашої тематики, визначимо провідний тренд: фреймування новинних знімків зсунуте в емоційне поле людських історій (Schwalbe & Dougherty, 2015), емоційні медіафрейми превалюють й у представленні конфліктів в Сирії та Ємені (Alsridi & Ziani, 2020).…”

The review article presents contemporary theories on the mediatization of war and discursive practices of media analysis. The methodology for the selection of materials was based on international scientometric and bibliographic databases. The analysed content (more than 120 books and articles in the initial sample, 87 in the final sample) was selected on the Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases using keywords (mediatization; mediatization of war; Russian-Ukrainian war and media; digital war) and filters. The structure proposed by the authors integrates three problem areas: different stages of mediatization of war and conflict in relation to leading theories; interpretative methods of analysis and general results of the effectiveness of narrative and framing analysis methods; the most illustrative discussions within each of the proposed theories. The current Ukrainian issues have been included in each section and subsection of the proposed article. The main focus is on the academic material that deals with the mediatization of conflicts and crises and actively links well-known actors in communication work with the corresponding strategy of media impact and influence. The deployment of different phases of the mediatization of war in genesis is presented on the basis of the theory of А. Hoskins and B. O'Loughlin, with a separate exclusion of Digital War as an umbrella term, the interpretation of which goes beyond the traditional interdisciplinary framework. This latest scholarly content brings together articles on the revolutionary impact of technological developments on the course of war (drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, cyber weapons, precision munitions, etc. ), the effects of digital technologies in the new ecology of war (mobile, participatory, proxy warfare, digital violence, propaganda), and finally, the new logic of war, in which the oversaturation of media content leads to a decrease in global attention, empathic burnout, and, most controversially, to a systemic crisis of humanitarian knowledge and, despite its documentation and dissemination, to forgetting.

“…During the past five years, the authorities have also used the limits on the practice of journalism under Articles 19 and 13 to prosecute and imprison rebel journalists. The state has also historically controlled most terrestrial radio and television (Alsridi and Karim Ziani, 2020).…”

“…Online social networking allows open access to information and restricts freedom of expression. When journalists and reporters are denied access to the protest locations, the governments also hunt down citizens and journalists accessing disallowed websites to create a ubiquitous atmosphere of fear, harassment and persecution (Alsridi and Karim Ziani, 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent of digital surveillance by Arab authorities, which face risks and threats of surveillance, and how journalists seek to press freedom by using tools and techniques to communicate securely. Design/methodology/approach The study used focus group discussions with 14 journalists from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Yemen, Oman, Jordan and Egypt. While in Egypt, questionnaires were distributed to 199 journalists from both independent and semi-governmental outlets to investigate how Egyptian journalists interpret the new data protection law and its implications for press freedom. Findings The study indicated that journalists from these countries revealed severe censorship by their respective governments, an element inconsistent with the Arab Constitution. The recommendation of the study encourages media organisations to play a more active role in setting policies that make it easier for journalists to adopt and use digital security tools, while Egyptian journalists see the law as a barrier to media independence because it allows the government to exercise greater information control through digital policy and imposes regulatory rules on journalists. Practical implications The study identifies practical and theoretical issues in Arab legislation and may reveal practices of interest to scientists researching the balance between data protection, the right of access to information and media research as an example of contemporary government indirect or “soft” censorship methods. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is one of the first research contributions to analyse the relationships between Arab authoritarians who used surveillance to restrict freedom of the press after the Arab Spring revolutions of 2011 to keep themselves in power as long as they could. In addition, Egypt's use of surveillance under new laws allowed the regimes to install software on the journalists’ phones that enabled them to read the files and emails and track their locations; accordingly, journalists can be targeted by the cyberattack and can be arrested.
