Media security of megascience projects: legal experts training

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of legal experts training to ensure the effective functioning of global research infrastructures (megascience projects) in the context of information-worldview security of media (including Internet communication). The activity of legal experts in the field of megascience projects implies risk management of media security within which the ranking of media waves and the prevention of illegal speech actions are carried out. The work of a legal expert in the field of media security is greatly interdisciplinary and requires exclusively developed management skills. This specialist acts precisely within the framework of information risk management coordinating and moderating the work of the organization’s structural units. A highly qualified specialist in this area, in addition to fundamental legal knowledge, should also possess creative, heuristic expert thinking, be able to analyze, generalize, screen out and differentiate incoming information in the media stream. It is vital for the objective legal-linguistic examination of defamatory, fake and extremist-terrorist discourse. The basis for the formation of such an expert thinking can be the provisions of forensic expertology as a synthetic legal science that studies the patterns of using special knowledge in legal proceedings. The developments in the field of forensic speech science (which studies speech traces of offenses in the media sphere) are particularly valuable for the training of lawyers in the field of media security. The authors consider the classification of speech offenses against media security of megascience projects and justify that legal education in the megascience field is the training of a wide-profile specialist who is able to apply deep legal and linguistic knowledge in a progressively increasing set of situations and experiences, challenges and threats to media security of megascience projects; who can easily adapt; who is ready to acquire new competencies, learn and grow, find his/her own place in a rapidly changing world.
