The author focuses, in particular, on the analysis of media-related provocations by identifying and interpreting them in terms of the current concepts and theories such as Infotainment, Social Responsibility, and Pseudo-Events. The article examines ways in which orchestrated events – more often than not, visually catchy and captivating – are launched, i.e. introduced into information space. It also argues a proposition that, as a result of a media event thus staged, political attitudes and entire policies can be adjusted through a shift in public opinion both inside and outside a country.}, doi = {10.4467/23540214ZM.13.007.2298}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zarzadzanie-mediami/artykul/pseudo-events-of-ukrainian-maidan-possible-interpretations} }
