War in Ukraine through the lens of interactive media: A typological study of video games

Wojna w Ukrainie w obiektywie mediów interaktywnych: studium typologiczne gier wideo

Abstrakt: Celem badania była ocena gier wideo związanych z wojną rosyjsko-ukraińską i sklasyfikowanie ich jako narzędzi medialnych. Badanie wykazało, że gry komputerowe są charakterystycznym i praktycznym medium dziennikarskim. Pomagają rozbijać narracje strony przeciwnej i rozpowszechniają globalnie informacje o sytuacji w Ukrainie. Gry wideo mogą pomóc społeczeństwu ukraińskiemu w przekazywaniu światu informacji o konsekwencjach rosyjskiej agresji.
