Abstract

   This study aimed to identify how the official and the news websites deal with rumors, it is a practical study for the Youm7 website and the Official Cabinet Page - Media Corner (rumors and facts) for rumors and their reflections on the public attitude, in the form and content. It is a descriptive study that used the survey method, systematic comparison method, a content analysis tool, and a questionnaire tool. The sample of the analytical study was represented in press material for the Youm7 website and Cabinet Official Page posts on Facebook with a system of “comprehensive inventory" in the period from December 5, 2020, to January 7, 2021. The total of the analytical sample was (178), and the field study sample consisted of (150) items, "an available non-probability sample."
The results concluded that the press coverage of Youm7 was tended to be neglecting and was characterized by a lack of many important information and topics. Also, it relied on quoting from the Official page of the Council of Ministers, while the treatment of the Official Cabinet Page was more careful, deeper, and clearer. However, it lacked backgrounding and linking of events, which raises a problem related to the principle of the ability of official and news websites to display unite and fulfill (solidarity and fulfillment of) the reader's right to know, form opinions and increase the level of awareness to confront the various mechanisms of psychological wars on social media.
Here, the study suggested the necessity of coordination and concerted between official and news institutional efforts to confront rumors and pursue the promoters on social media sites using artificial intelligence technology. It also suggested that ethical framework principles should be given greater importance in presenting and interpreting events and issues. In addition to training media professionals who are responsible for official websites.
