However, an immersive experience does not guarantee that Gen Z audiences will understand the information conveyed, due to the attraction of short attention spans. Audiences need skills to be able to navigate the media they watch to get the information they consume. Literacy studies on immersive 360-degree video, especially in Indonesia, are still rare. Even though digital media is increasingly immersive in presenting content, it is not known how far young audiences are able to analyze and critically assess the content accessed. This study aims to measure the media literacy level of the audience and its influence on the ability to process 360-degree video. A survey was conducted of 400 students in Jakarta in November 2022. The findings show that the processing capacity of 360-degree videos is significantly affected by a pe...

However, the concomitant rise of misinformation and disinformation has disrupted the dissemination of verified information, particularly in the digital media.

Due to the heavy nature of the issue, climate change news tends to be very negative. Overly negative news can cause psychological disruption and make people avoid the news. The news media plays a huge role in climate mitigation, adaptation, and people’s perspectives on climate change, making it crucial for them to communicate climate change effectively. Constructive journalism may be the solution to this issue.

Perkembangan kondisi ini memaksa media tradisional mencari cara untuk menyesuaikan diri. Youtube bisa dibilang sebagai medium baru yang menantang medium pendahulunya. Konsekuensi yang umumnya terjadi dalam kompetisi antara medium baru dengan medium terdahulu adalah kemungkinan keberadaan medium baru menggantikan medium pendahulunya. Agar dapat berkompetisi maka media baru perlu mempertimbangkan potensi Youtube. Dalam tulisan ini YouTube dianggap sebagai medium baru dalam hal penyiaran, maka tidak ada salahnya media mempertimbangkan penggunaan YouTube sebagai medium distribusi konten. Hasil analisis kami menunjukkan bahwa YouTube dapat memberikan pendapatan pasif lewat iklan.
