Russian-Ukraine

To assess media transformation, news from Channel One (2013-2023) is analyzed due to its popularity and status as a state-owned broadcaster (Statista Research Department, 2023). Television remains a key source of information in Russia, especially among older generations, and is more influential than newspapers (Levada-Center, 2022). Data is collected and coded into major and minor themes (e.g., "domestic issues" and "corruption"), with shifts in tone, framing, and emphasis over time considered.Values are measured through themes in media discourse and government messaging. The same coding process is applied to explore how media and government policies promote specific values. Official government statements are analyzed to understand how these values are communicated.A comparative analysis is conducted to explore the media's role in the war with Ukraine. Government decisions are compared to media coverage to see how events were framed or omitted. Special focus is given to Ukraine-related themes, such as portrayals of the Ukrainian government and narratives justifying the war (e.g., "neo-Nazi," "terrorist," "NATO expansion threat"). Thematic analysis traces how these narratives evolved to shape values that legitimize the invasion.

为评估媒体转型态势，本研究选取俄罗斯第一频道（Channel One）2013年至2023年的新闻内容开展分析——该频道兼具高受众覆盖率与国有广播电视机构的行业地位，相关研究依据来自Statista研究部（Statista Research Department，2023）。在俄罗斯，电视仍是民众获取信息的核心渠道，老年群体尤为依赖此类渠道，其舆论影响力远超报纸，相关调研数据来自列瓦达中心（Levada-Center，2022）。研究人员对采集到的新闻数据进行编码，将其归类为核心主题与次要主题（例如"国内议题"与"腐败问题"），同时考量报道语气、叙事框架与报道重点随时间产生的变化。本研究依托媒体话语与政府传播内容中的主题维度衡量价值取向，采用统一编码流程，探究媒体与政府政策对特定价值理念的推广路径；同时通过分析官方政府声明，厘清此类价值理念的具体传播方式。本研究开展对比分析，以探究媒体在俄乌冲突中的角色：将政府决策与媒体报道进行比对，考察事件的叙事框架构建与信息遮蔽情况。研究重点聚焦涉乌克兰主题，例如对乌克兰政府的形象塑造，以及为冲突辩护的叙事（如"新纳粹（neo-Nazi）""恐怖主义""北约扩张威胁"）。通过主题分析，追踪此类叙事的演变历程，及其如何塑造为军事入侵提供合法性的价值理念。
