Abstract

The Community Empowerment Program Rejecting Hoaxes as an Effort to Prevent Identity Conflict in Spirit Dalam Village aims to increase digital literacy and public awareness of the negative impacts of spreading hoax information. In the fast-paced digital era, people are faced with various information from various sources. Easy access to the internet and social media allows information to spread quickly, including hoax information that has the potential to cause conflict and panic in society. Spirit Dalam Village, even though it is in the countryside, has really felt the impact of the spread of hoax information. Villagers are enthusiastic about using the internet in their daily lives, but many of them do not understand how to verify the veracity of information obtained from the internet or social media. This makes them vulnerable to the spread of hoax information. This program is designed to overcome this problem through digital literacy training and socialization of the negative impacts of hoaxes.

Abstract

The digitalization of political communication has significantly transformed how citizens engage with political information, particularly among younger generations. Generation Z (Gen Z), born between 1997 and 2012, represents a cohort of digital natives with high technological literacy but relatively limited political awareness. In Indonesia, where Gen Z constitutes a substantial share of the electorate, electoral institutions face challenges in delivering effective political education through conventional channels. This study examines the effectiveness of political education content disseminated via the @KPU_KALSEL Instagram account in enhancing political literacy among Gen Z students. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with five undergraduate students from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at UNISKA (born in 2002), supported by content analysis and systematic observation carried out in November 2024. The findings indicate that Instagram-based political content contributes positively to increasing political awareness and understanding among Gen Z audiences. Factors influencing effectiveness include content accessibility, visual clarity, concise messaging, and topical relevance. Posts related to the Peaceful Campaign Declaration and information on the Quiet Period were perceived as particularly impactful. Participants demonstrated improved comprehension of electoral procedures, regulations, and democratic values. This study concludes that social media platforms, when strategically utilized, can serve as effective tools for political education and voter engagement among digitally native generations.
