Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of content shared on Telegram channels on the national information ecosystem. In today’s digital society, Telegram has become one of the important tools for disseminating information, shaping public opinion, and influencing social relations. In particular, breaking news, analytical materials, advertisements, socio-political discussions, and public debates are reaching a wide audience through Telegram channels. Therefore, the content distributed on this platform directly affects the stability of the national information space, information security, the level of media literacy, and social mood within society. The article examines the positive and negative aspects of content shared on Telegram channels, as well as its influence on information flows, public consciousness, and the formation of the national information environment. In addition, the article discusses the importance of reliable information sources, the danger of fake news and manipulative content, and the need to develop users’ critical thinking skills.
