THE ISSUES OF INFORMATION SECURITY AND RELIABILITY IN MODERN JOURNALISM

In the contemporary digital landscape, journalism faces significant challenges related to information security and reliability. The rapid development of digital communication technologies has made the dissemination of news faster and more accessible, but it has also increased the vulnerability of media organizations to cyber threats, data breaches, and misinformation. This research examines key issues surrounding information security and credibility in modern journalism, focusing on the intersection of technology, ethics, and public trust. It highlights the importance of implementing robust cybersecurity measures, such as encryption, data protection systems, and verification tools, alongside ethical standards that ensure transparency and accountability. The study also explores how newsroom practices, editorial policies, and government regulations influence the overall reliability of information shared with the public. By analyzing current cases and global trends, the paper aims to provide practical recommendations for journalists and media institutions to enhance digital resilience and prevent the spread of false or manipulated information. Ultimately, this research emphasizes that the future of journalism depends on a balanced approach -integrating advanced security technologies, strong ethical journalism, and media literacy -to maintain truth, protect sources, and preserve the public’s trust in news.
