Citizen Journalism in Ukraine and Globalization Media Processes During the Russian-Ukrainian War
Abstract
The scientific work considers citizen journalism as a modern phenomenon of the multimedia space of Ukraine, modern trends in the development of citizen journalism during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The study highlights the main features of this type of journalism, which is actively developing in social networks and other Internet platforms. The main ones include speed and mobility, ease of publication and submission of material, large audience coverage, immediate feedback and the possibility of live communication, crowdsourcing and diversity of viewpoints, activism and promotion. The object of the research is the modern Ukrainian media discourse during the war. Ukrainian news reports and analytics created by public journalists during the Russian-Ukrainian war served as material for the analysis. During the Russian-Ukrainian war, a citizen journalist becomes available to the general public of Ukraine, both amateur and professional. The blog has become a tool for the development and unstoppable growth of the influence of citizen journalism on the formation of public opinion, by providing information from the first sources, efficiency and mobility, ease of submitting material and its perception, a large audience of coverage and interactivity, crowdsourcing and diversity of points of view. The appearance of video materials and text messages of leading bloggers of Ukraine in the columns of world publications and in the TV programs of leading companies in the world indicates the rapid growth and strengthening of trust in this type of journalism. We see the prospects for further research in the analysis of new trends in the development of citizen journalism, the emergence of new features and even genres, convergence of formats of traditional mass media and social platform blogs.
