The aim of the article is to find the answer to the following question: how does literary fiction in German literature present the character of a war reporter who reports on new wars? The article presents an analysis of perception and medium/transfer of war and terror by war reporters. In this article, the scheme of war incidents (events) is presented– transmission, in which there is no place for feelings, emotions, kindliness, humanity, but only the wish to survive, will to fight, victory and financial benefits really matter. One of the main assumptions of this article is an attempt to make the recipient realize that what individuals should do is analyse the information obtained from mass media in their own specific way. The topic of the article is very comprehensive and often raised, because it concerns the present and the future, and war has accompanied, accompanies and will accompany man at every stage of their life. The purpose of the article will also be to present the image of New Wars and terror from the perspective of the reporter and the influence of mass media on the work of the war correspondent, who seeks to blur the fragile border between truth and lies, reality and fiction in relation to German literature. It also important to present the profile of a war reporter in literature, also the specificity of the work of a war correspondent, as well as the impact of technological development on practicing the profession and linking collected facts with the events that have been recorded in the pages of history.
