Abstract: Modern Challenges of Journalism Highlight the Need for Effective Work with Various Information Sources, Including Scientific Publications and Research Data. These sources can serve as key tools for journalists, contributing to the objective coverage of events. The main objective of the study is to explore the role of journalism as a crucial instrument in shaping media discourse in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, particularly by analyzing manipulations with scientific publications and the processes of the mediatization of science. Methodology. To achieve this goal, content analysis, discourse analysis, generalization, and systematization methods were applied. Content analysis allowed for the examination of academic texts, while discourse analysis of news texts helped identify potential manipulations in the presentation of scientific information in the media. Results and conclusions. The study’s findings demonstrate that, to ensure objective event coverage, journalists must carefully evaluate scientific research and expert opinions, focusing on the comprehensive representation of scientific results rather than isolated fragments. This will contribute to the more ethical and responsible use of scientific data in the media.
