My example I have wrote so far in my paper
Khaldarova, I., & Pantti, M. (2016). Fake News. Journalism Practice, 10(7), 891-901. doi:10.1080/17512786.2016.1163237
The purpose of this article is to provide a case study on Russia use of disinformation and misinformation in Ukraine. The authors intend to scrutinize fake news from Russian media and Ukraines fact-checking website Stopfake.org to counter the Russian narrative. The authors also analyze how Twitter was used to contribute to the perpetuation of the strategic narratives. Their methods consist of analyzing two strands, one strand being Russian media Channel One, and StopFake debunking Channel One. The other strand is content analysis of 6043 tweets produced by 5391 users between December 2013 and February 2015. The majority of tweets were of a distrustful sentiment to Channel Ones strategic narratives, and 11.2% were trustful of the content. Further research could be conducted on Russias use of television to spread their strategic narratives to their own public, because twitter seems to be a more skeptical audience with a higher awareness of strategic narratives being employed.
This paper is a useful case study in understanding direct counteractions against disinformation in a kinetic warfare environment of Ukraine and Russia. However, strategic narratives do not always aim to make a rational point, and, in contrast to the claims of Miskimmon, OLoughlin, and Roselle (2014), the power of strategic narratives does not solely rest on their credibility. Strategic narratives carried by Channel Ones journalistically dubious stories can be seen aiming, in the first place, to appeal to emotions and to blur the border between what is real and what is not: in other words to form a context in which other messages can be communicated with greater ease (Khaldarova &Pantti, 2016, p. 899). In a population already distrustful of Russian media, the question remains how and why the information is still able to spread into mainstream medias around the world.
