Based on 25 interviews conducted in Finland in 2015&ndash;2016, it analyses the ways in which people in conflict situations mitigate social risks and attempt to produce security by governing their use of the media. Drawing from von Benda-Beckmann and von Benda-Beckmann&rsquo;s work on social security, the article argues that security studies ought to include transnational media use in their scope and broaden the emphasis towards the social and societal aspects of threat and insecurity. Furthermore, it explains how, in times of conflict, transnational media may turn into a digitalised &lsquo;war zone&rsquo; with alarming consequences on the identification and social security of their audiences.</p>10aRussian-speakers; media use; social security; Finland1 aSotkasiira, Tiina  uhttps://ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/sometimes-it-feels-every-word-lie-media-use-and-social-insecurity-among-finnish-russian
