CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN THE MEDIA SPOTLIGHT AND THE TRUST OF STATE

Journal Title: Acta Scientifica Academiae Ostroviensis. Sectio A, Nauki humanistyczne, społeczne i techniczne - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6

Abstract

The penetration of media and information technologies into the absolute majority of citizens' lives requires that, in defending and pursuing its intentions in the subject-matter area, the State should view it in the most erudite manner and should be capable of responding to it professionally. This fact is even more crucial in the post-socialist countries, where, in light of their totalitarian past, state bodies are often perceived through the lens of stereotypes as being deformed in the sense that the State performs more repressive than protective roles; that it is a bad owner in general terms; or even that it mismanages the tax payers’ money. The situation in the field of security is of special seriousness, where the State, being its principal guarantor, must seek to attain the highest possible level of credibility. However, one of the phenomena that may damage or weaken this credibility is a leak of State-classified information, as a result of which the credibility of an institution responsible for administering the security of classified information could be damaged significantly.
