Războiul din Georgia pe fluxurile de ştiri
The war in Georgia reflected in the news stream

Summary/Abstract: Mass-media has a crucial contribution to securing the international environment. The presentation is about press reports in a frozen conflict zone, where the conflict was reloaded. This analisys shows how „the 5 Days War” - as the invasion of Georgia by Russian troops in the summer of 2008 was named-was covered. This case was chosen because unlike other operations which were widely publicized long before their triggering, the increasing tension in Southern-Caucasus had a sporadic and anemic coverage in international media. The study has focused on the greatest news agencies of the world: Reuters and AFP, the russian news agency Itar-Tass, Interfax, Ria Novosti and Regnum and the romanian news agencies: Agerpres, Mediafax and Rador.
