Abstract

When reporting about the war, media play a key role as a source of public information, including the control of public opinions, whereas the political factor is a very important component. War rhetoric, often with sensationalist inputs, has almost become integral part of media reporting in Serbia, while the practice of factual reporting is rather rare. The subject of this paper is the writing about Russian-Ukrainian war in online editions of dailies Politika (politika.rs), Danas (danas.rs) and Kurir (kurir.rs). The aim of this paper is to use the qualitative-quantitative content analysis in order to determine whether online media in Serbia, with regard to the war between Russia and Ukraine, appear in one-sided manner, i.e. whether they observe the principle of objectivity and professionality in reporting, or whether they are committed to support one side in the war. The paper starts from the presumption that the Russian-Ukrainian war takes the key place in the above-mentioned Internet portals as a sensationalist or emotionally involved event, which substantially reduces the informative effect and increases the persuasive function.
