Abstract

The digital era has accelerated the spread of information, including disinformation and hoaxes, which often appear in the context of political communication. This phenomenon threatens the integrity of the democratic process and the quality of information received by the public. Therefore, the importance of media literacy and fact verification has become increasingly urgent to ensure that citizens can make decisions based on accurate and reliable information. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various media and factual literacy initiatives in reducing the influence of disinformation and hoaxes among voters. The primary focus is identifying the most effective strategies to promote a critical understanding of media content and the ability to verify facts independently. The methods used were field experiments and surveys conducted in several regions with significant variations in media literacy levels. Respondents were selected through stratified random sampling techniques and divided into a control group and an intervention group that received intensive training on media literacy. The results showed that participants who took media and factual literacy training showed significant improvements in identifying and rejecting misinformation. This group is also more critical of information sources and cross-checks facts more often before sharing content. The research conclusion states that media literacy interventions can significantly reduce the influence of disinformation and hoaxes in political communication. In-depth and continuous education is needed to strengthen citizens' abilities to face information challenges in the digital era. Furthermore, collaboration between sectors, including government, educational institutions, and the media, is important to increase awareness and media literacy skills among the wider community.

Abstract

The government as a public service provider has provided public information disclosure and ease of access. The beneficiaries of information such as tax information are MSMEs. MSMEs as contributors to the country's foreign exchange have received tax stimulus, such as lowering rates, but have not been good enough to increase taxpayer compliance. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study aimed at analyzing the effect of public information on tax compliance mediated by the understanding of taxpayers. The research sample was 316 people, with incidental purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires. Data analysis method using Structural Equation Model. Previous research has not discussed public information with tax compliance. The results of the study stated that partially public information and understanding of taxpayers had a significant positive effect on tax compliance.

The amount of public information contribution can explain tax compliance mediated by taxpayer understanding is 47%, the rest is influenced by other variables. These variables are tax transparentcy, information regarding the past degree of tax evasion, fiscal transparency and individual behavior that can be studied in next studies
