Abstract
The aim of the chapter is to examine the trends in the development of mass media as countering terrorism in Ukraine. The novelty of the research for the international scientific community lies in the description of Ukraine's experience in countering information terrorism. This chapter will be useful for theorists studying the manifestation of media terrorism in various countries, as a component of the European context of this problem. For Ukraine, information activities are only developing. The threat of terrorism is not an internal problem, but an external one, which is created by foreign states. Information terrorism has two types of influence. It is material and intellectual. Ukrainian media can resist both types of influence on society. Media terrorism of foreign countries is aimed at individuals. This chapter focuses on strengthening the communication component of antiterrorist activities, improving the information policy of the state, the inclusion of civil society and public television potential in the system of combating information media terrorism.
