Abstract
The article examines the penetration of the media component into information warfare, which leads to significant transformations in the logic and functional interface of decision-making at the political level, as well as to changes in the internal political situation based on changes in public discussion. It is concluded that mass media and politics merge not only in the field of interests of the political elite and political leadership, but also in the area of creating a political course, political guidelines that provide the political meaning of the existence of a certain society. The following conclusion is that in modern conditions, the mediatization of politics for the purpose of information confrontation is inherent in any political regime and includes in the field of influence, for example, everyday culture, culture of choice of delegation of authority, culture of reaction and understanding of news information, attitude towards the deputy corps and, in general, trust in the media.But at the same time, the processes of information warfare can occur in various variations – from the concentration of minds, when political meanings are transmitted unchanged, which gives opportunities for positive cooperation, or information warfare leads to open confrontation, fueled by propaganda.
