For this purpose, through interviews with 17 media and communication professors and members of the Supreme Virtual Council of the country, the areas and components of media war have been identified with a cultural and social approach. The results show that the media war is actually a type of hybrid war that uses psychological and sociological techniques in the cultural and psychological fields of the target society, and therefore, in facing this war, a cultural and social approach must be taken.
