The article presents the solutions introduced by Estonia and Latvia to make the digital infrastructure they use to carry out state information policy and deliver public services more secure. The study aims to analyze the implemented regulations and assess their efficiency. The thesis of the article is that the authorities of both countries prioritize efforts to ensure cyber security. To achieve the aim of the study and to confirm the thesis, the following measures were helpful: 1. findings based on direct observations and field research; 2. analysis of sources and existing data along with a systematic literature review (Fink, 2005: 17) and the institutional and legal method consisting in the study of normative acts (Żebrowski 2012: 32-33) in order to analyze changes occurring in the legal order. This is a review article, and it is organized as follows: analysis of the key issues related to the shape of information policy implemented by Estonia and Latvia through the media; presentation of activities related to strengthening cyber security; conclusions. The analysis shows that Estonia and Latvia operate effectively in the digital sphere, but it requires ongoing monitoring of the destabilizing actions performed by Russia, their largest neighbor. The information policies of both countries take into account the preservation of relations between national minorities and their countries of residence. Actions taken by the Estonian and Latvian authorities in the area of cybersecurity have been ongoing for a long time and they represent a strategy whose effects are well reflected in the media sphere. The strategy awaits full implementation to ensure an increasingly higher level of cybersecurity.

In contemporary Poland, there is ongoing struggle for control over the public media system. The current political conflict is the result of the democratic backsliding. In recent years, during the rule of the conservative Law and Justice party, Poland has experienced a democratic recession. Institutions studying the quality of democracy worldwide are pointing out the deteriorating quality of Polish democracy and the undermining of the achievements of the political transformation. This decline resulted from a deep social and political division as well as from the fact that the public space was dominated by ethno-populist rhetoric, which constituted the main element of the political appeal of the Law and Justice party, which ruled in Poland from 2015 to 2023. The democratic backsliding in Poland was particularly visible in two areas: justice and public media. Representatives of the Law and Justice party brought about the politicisation of the public media and the limiting of their role as a critic and controller of the actions of people in power. That led to a weakening of the democratic check and balance mechanisms. In this article, the authors analyse the process of the democratic decline in Poland, using the example of the Law and Justice party’s policy towards public media.
