The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the media today are an active participant in confrontation in military conflicts, representing a weapon of information warfare and shaping the discourse of perception of the conflict both at the front and in the rear, as well as at the level of the world community. The purpose of the article is to trace the evolution of artistic (fiction) war reporting within the framework of military journalism, starting from the First World War and ending with today's war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The methodological basis of the article was made up of both general scientific and historical-comparative research methods, which made it possible to identify synchronic and diachronic patterns of military journalism. The study revealed the role of the media in covering armed conflicts and found that in the process of media representation and mediatization of armed conflicts, a certain public opinion is formed. The media, independently or under the influence of politicians and the military, create a mediatized image of a conflict situation and armed confrontation for the mass audience. In particular, the propaganda function of such reports is noted - namely journalists strengthen morale at the front and in the rear, at the same time, however, broadcasting the attitudes of the perception of the conflict. The need to understand the specifics of the participation of journalists writing in the genre of artistic war reporting in military-political communication is emphasized, as well as the feasibility of further research aimed at determining the degree of participation of journalism in the formation and consolidation of the final image of the war in the public consciousness and culture at the national and international levels
