On Tuesday 11 October, TaRC and the Russian Media Lab‘s co-operative initiative, Online Talks on Russian Media, continues with a highly topical presentation on the war in Ukraine.
Dr Svetlana Pasti from Tampere University will present her co-authored research “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through the prism of TV news around the world”, where she studied the coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in news broadcasts of the main television news bulletins in Russia, China and Finland.
The project was later expanded to include the respective TV news broadcasts in the rest of the BRICS countries – Brazil, India and South Africa – as well as in the UK and the USA. Because of the scope of the countries involved, the presentation is a must for everyone interested in global media portrayals of war!
