Over the two past centuries, mass media has been a full-fledged subject of military conflicts across the world. Initially represented by newspapers, mass media gradually expanded its platform to the radio, television and at the end of the 20thcentury – Internet. Not only all of them – editorial offices, journalists, editors and media owners – cover negotiations and battles but also participate in them head-to-head.

Among the participants were also representatives of two Russian editorial offices. They took an active part in discussion sessions focused on the information war issues.
