Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital media has transformed journalistic media consumption patterns in higher education, raising concerns about information credibility and increasing vulnerability to misinformation. This study aims to analyse differences in patterns, preferences, and objectives of journalistic media use between university students and lecturers in Medan City. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving students and lecturers from several higher education institutions. The findings reveal clear differences between the two groups. Students tend to rely on social media platforms and digital news portals due to their speed, ease of access, and compatibility with digital lifestyles. At the same time, lecturers predominantly use more credible and analytical journalistic sources, such as Kompas.com, Tempo.co, and academic journals to support teaching and research activities. Variations influence these differences in digital literacy levels, information needs, and attitudes toward misinformation. Students are found to be more vulnerable to hoaxes, whereas lecturers demonstrate more critical and selective information practices. The study highlights the importance of strengthening media literacy in higher education through curriculum integration, targeted training, and collaboration with media professionals to foster a credible and educational digital information ecosystem.

Abstract

This study analyzes the differences between Western and Middle Eastern media framing in reporting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Western media tends to portray Israel as a party threatened by terrorism, with a focus on national security. In contrast, Middle Eastern media highlight the suffering of the Palestinian people and criticize Israeli policies that are considered as occupation. By analyzing reports from media outlets such as BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, and Al Arabiya, it was found that these framing differences influence global public opinion. Western countries are more supportive of a two-state solution with an emphasis on Israel's security, while Middle Eastern countries emphasize justice for Palestinians. This difference creates polarization that hinders the peace process and creates tension in international diplomacy. This research suggests the need for a more balanced and inclusive narrative to achieve a sustainable peace solution.
