Des médias locaux français imités dans le cadre de la stratégie de propagande russe

Selon les chercheurs, ce réseau d'officines fictives est probablement dirigé par un propagandiste russe connu, John Mark Dougan, un ancien shérif adjoint de Floride qui vit à Moscou depuis 2016.

00:00Why are more and more fake local news outlets appearing online?
00:06A corp of online outlets which look like local media are fooling internet users,
00:11posting articles of concerning headlines as well as spreading anti-Western narratives,
00:16while these websites are created by pro-Russian actors.
00:19Their names are similar to those of authentic news outlets,
00:22and real news events are being spun through AI-scripted articles.
00:25Between January and September 2025, researchers from Recorded Future identified at least 200 new fictional media websites,
00:33which they attribute to Russia's Storm 1516 operation.
00:37Researchers warn that these sham outlets are likely being run by a man called John Mark Dugan,
00:42a former deputy sheriff from Florida who has lived in Moscow since 2016.
00:47Dugan was singled out as a key driver of disinformation ahead of Germany's federal elections in February.
00:53More than 140 of these sham news websites present themselves as French outlets.
00:58Media freedom organisation Reporters Without Borders looked at 85 of these sites which are still active,
01:04and discovered 14,000 articles have been published since February.
01:07These websites' output has intensified as the year reaches its end,
01:11with more than 5,000 articles published since late October.
01:15Ahead of France's municipal elections, set to be held in 2026,
01:19Reporters Without Borders has warned of the need to monitor the situation.
01:23When we want to inform, in the ideal, what we try to achieve is an intermediary
01:27in which the public can have confidence, and the press, and particularly the regional press in France,
01:32has the confidence in the public.
01:33We know that elections form a fertile terreau for the informational attacks.
01:38From there, we take the alarm to say that there is a network that is active,
01:44and there are real risks for the access to information,
01:47the integrity of information, and in fine, for the sincerity of the scrutiny.
01:50For Media Observers, it's key that outlets flag four stories and report them.
