Abstract
Within the framework of any theoretical study, the key issue is the conceptual and terminological apparatus. However, the problems of information policy are not only theoretical, but primarily practical. Information policy has ceased to be the concern of journalists and officials. Securitization — considering information policy issues in the context of national security issues — is not only a Russian, but a global imperative.
