Abstract. The phenomenon of disinformation has become a common theme in studies across various fields. Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies are typically used, focusing primarily on content sourced from the internet. This article introduces a method to extend this focus to include content from 'Old Media' specifically from Television which as an unstructured medium, presents a combination of textual and visual layers. Despite this complexity, the integration of these elements allows for the design of algorithms capable of analyzing video streams and extracting individual news from main news programs of nationwide broadcasters. The proposed solution facilitates the extraction of transcriptions generated by the research tool. The aim of this research is to allow access to the content of television to enable its inclusion in research, performed in a manner analogous to Internet content. This research is part of a project that deals with the development of algorithms for combining, classifying and comparing content from different media in order to design an imprecise classifier of disinformation content.
