Media Institute as a Subject of Information Security

Abstract

The article analyzes the role of the media as a subject of information security in the context of the development of the information society, martial law, armed aggression and information warfare. In today's world, where the media is the main channel of information for most people, their influence on the formation of public beliefs and opinions is extremely significant. This becomes even more critical in times of military conflicts, where the media can be used to disseminate truthful information as well as propaganda or disinformation. With the development of the information society and the spread of the Internet, the ways in which information is disseminated and consumed have changed significantly, creating new challenges for information security. The rapid spread of disinformation through digital channels increases the need to understand and regulate the role of the media. In addition, information warfare is becoming a key element of modern conflicts, where control over information and its interpretation can influence the course and outcome of a conflict. This raises important issues of ethics and legal norms in the use of media, especially in crisis situations.

The scientific novelty of this study lies in several key aspects that reflect the depth and originality of the approach to analyzing the role of media in the context of information security in the modern world. First of all, this study offers an updated and comprehensive view of the role of the media in the information society, especially in the context of martial law, armed aggression, and information warfare. In particular, the emphasis is on the impact of digital media and social networks, which are changing traditional approaches to the dissemination and perception of information. The second aspect is the integration of different disciplinary approaches, which provides a multifaceted view of the issue. This study combines theoretical and methodological tools of media studies, information security, political science, and cybersecurity, which allows for a deeper understanding of the interaction between media and information security. This is especially relevant in the context of new challenges, such as the spread of disinformation and fake news.

Another important aspect of the study is the analysis and implementation of the principles of journalistic self-government in the context of information security. This aspect includes an assessment of the role and impact of self-regulation in the media sphere, discusses ethical norms and standards in journalism, and considers the potential impact of these practices on improving information security, which allows us to better understand how self-regulation in the media can contribute to strengthening the information resilience of society, especially in the context of information and psychological operations and information wars.
