RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

The article proposes that countering information attacks in online publications should not be limited to the subsequent refutation of false reports, but should also be approached as a monitoring mechanism aimed at identifying information risks in editorial activity in advance. The results show that the monitoring system is not a tool that directly detects an information attack itself, but a preventive mechanism that systematically records structural vulnerabilities through which a newsroom may amplify disinformation.
