The global digitalization that we are all witnessing today is rapidly changing the world around us, invading also the media and information sphere. At the same time, new technologies not only influence the nature of creative work of modern journalists, but also actualize a number of challenges and threats, to which the journalistic community should respond. With this in mind, the Concept of Information Security was approved in the Republic of Belarus in 2019, which refers to information sovereignty as a new approach to ensuring information security, and information neutrality as a form of state and responsible behavior. In international relations, the information sovereignty of the Belarusian state should be ensured based on the principle of information neutrality. Its essence is that, defending its own national interests in the information sphere, the Belarusian side aims at conducting a peaceful foreign information policy and expanding international information exchange. How is this principle implemented in practice? That's what the proposed study is about.
