Relazione
«Media and the Ukraine Crisis, edited by Mervi Pantti of the University of Helsinki, brings together a variety of different viewpoints on the role of media in the conflict.»
(Ray Niekamp, Electronic News Vol. 11(2) 2017)
«As a Russian interdisciplinary scholar, whose work resonates with the content of the volume, I applaud to the attempt of the editor to give space and voice to different research traditions and to provoke further exploration of the mediatized warfare, hybrid media, and their mutual influence. At the height of the new Cold War, this book and the discussion it launched are very valuable and urgent.»
