Abstract

Purpose: This article aims to understand and recognize the role of digital media in addressing cognitive warfare in Iraq, as well as explore how digital media can effectively confront and navigate the ongoing conflicts in the country. Given Iraq's history of external occupation and current interventions by Western nations, the Iraqi society has become a prime target for cognitive warfare attacks.
Method: To address this research question, thematic analysis of interviews with 20 media and cognitive warfare experts in Iraq was conducted, including professors from Mazaya, Imam Kazem, Farahidi, Baghdad, and Dhiqar universities, until theoretical saturation was achieved.
Findings: The analysis of the primary themes derived from the interviews indicates that audience-oriented approaches and professionalism are fundamental strategies that digital media should adopt to effectively address cognitive warfare. In this context, education and awareness-raising, mobilizing public opinion, promoting knowledge and self-confidence within society, and fostering community cohesion are essential components that contribute to audience-centeredness. Furthermore, to achieve professionalism, it is crucial to focus on digital capacity building and the advancement of persuasive journalism within Iraqi society.
Conclusion: To effectively address cognitive warfare, both traditional and new media in Iraq must devote significant attention to this issue. It is essential for these media outlets to fully comprehend the complexities of cognitive warfare and to prioritize informing and educating the public. By considering the needs and interests of the Iraqi audience, media discussions can become more impactful, enabling the Iraqi people and public opinion to better understand the issue at hand.
