    (Організаційна психологія. Економічна психологія, 2023) Skarzauskiene, Aelita; Kononets, Mariia
    Introduction. Today, the world's attention is riveted to Ukraine because of the war with the Russian Federation and counteracting the spread of fake news is more relevant than ever. That is why it is essential to highlight practices and interpretations of fake news from three perspectives: the perception and attitudes toward it, perceptions of interacting with it and opinions about countering it. Aim. The article aimed to shed light on three perspectives related to fake news: the perception and attitudes toward it, perceived interaction with it and opinion on counteraction it from various stakeholder groups. Methods: expert interviews, content analysis, qualitative analysis and supporting strategies: abstraction, deduction, contextualisation, interpretive content analysis and its "contextual" analysis. Results. Our research indicates that Ukrainian media users single out the following threats posed by fake news: panic, disappointment, and change in worldview. In addition, Ukrainian media users search for opinion leaders who can offer information credibility assessments. They are sure that supporting activities concerning credibility information could be checking scientific databases, searching for contradicting information, and collaborating between media users, media organisations, scientists, communication managers, journalists and other important actors in the media ecosystem. Conclusions. Our findings concerning Ukraine's media ecosystem may contribute to understanding the interaction of fake news in other European countries with similar media-cultural conditions and developing sensible policies, as ICT governance's success depends on all actors' willingness and participation in the media ecosystem.
