Television is gradually losing its position, but all predictions about its elimination from the media market in the short term do not come true. This necessitates a new understanding of the contemporary television space in its conceptual and functional dimensions. The purpose of the article is to analyse the information and security challenges in the paradigm of modern television broadcasting. The tasks of the scientific research are focused on the problem of modern positioning of the information culture of television broadcasting: on the one hand, it is a traditional media format that is already clearly established in terms of information security; on the other hand, television is being updated with new formats, which requires appropriate up-to-date mechanisms for responding to new potential threats without a peak cluster. The research methodology is focused on general scientific methods: analysis, modelling, forecasting. The analytical methodological segment provides traditional systemic and comparative characteristics of information security of television broadcasting; innovative methods, such as content analysis and online monitoring, are designed to determine the specifics of television content in the paradigm of modern media culture. The results of the study show that the interpretation of information security in the television segment is ambiguous. It is necessary to formulate a set of guidelines of a practical, applied and theoretical, and mental nature that will regulate information content and prevent threats from television broadcasting. The author proposes the principles of information and communication control that will form a control system in the television cluster but will not turn into censorship: improvement of the fundamental triad of information security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) and the addition of additional elements - authenticity, reliability, relevance. Prospects for information security research in the television segment are the synergy of human and technological efforts to prevent illegal and harmful activity in the broadcasting process: preventing unauthorised actions, avoiding threatening interpretations, and denying inhumane manifestations. Consequently, television remains an active player in the modern paradigm of the information society, maintaining its status as a relevant broadcaster of content of various kinds. Information security is a set of measures that provide for control over all information and communication media segments, which forms both universal and specific principles of information influence directly on the television format.
