Some features of representation of conflict in the media

the article considers some features of representation of conflict in the media. Certainly, discrepancies of opinions, views, values and ideological attitudes and their verbal expression, which sometimes lead to armed confrontation, cannot but arouse research interest. In this work, some features of covering the conflict through the prism of linguistic science are studied. The variety of linguistic means, which are skillfully used by specialists in the field of media communications, allows creating the foreign policy image of different countries that corresponds to the set goals and is consistent with the policy pursued by the state. Public opinion regarding a particular event is formed mainly under the influence of the media, which own and implement various manipulation technologies in order to influence the mass addressee. Accordingly, given the increased number of conflicts (in 2024, almost 200 thousand conflicts and clashes were recorded in the world), the number of publications covering the stated problem is also growing, which determines the exceptional relevance of this work. The analysis of conflict-marked articles conducted by the authors allows us to conclude that the images and stereotypes existing in society regarding a particular state are a product of the presentation of events in the media, which means that special attention should be paid to the methods and techniques of interpreting conflicts in the media, as well as the features of conflict representations in social networks.
