Abstract

We cannot ignore the importance of the security media in the daily life of all societies, especially in unstable societies, especially since the role of the security media emerges through the mechanism of addressing false information and rumors that destroy society and destabilize community security and civil and security peace. Therefore, the security media contributes to building bridges of mutual trust between the security establishment and the public in order to confront everything that causes confusion in its stable condition, by providing the public with various information that contributes to self-immunization of the individual without resorting to malicious sources to become a hostage to circulating rumors and making him to believe everything without knowledge and awareness, but rather works to spread it among people and promote it in terms of knowing or not knowing, the research seeks to achieve several goals, most notably identifying the most prominent strategies of the security media cell to develop the skills of the cell members, monitoring the most prominent obstacles that affect the cell’s strategies in combating rumors, and inferring the most prominent media strategies adopted by the security media cell in combating rumors and to identify how the security media cell employs preventive , media, remedial and organizational strategies in the fight against rumors.
