Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of journalistic media in shaping the contemporary political landscape, focusing on its ability to manipulate and direct public opinion and policy. Considering the media's dominance in agenda setting, this study highlights the urgency of understanding its broad influence on democracy and public policy. Journalistic media, which has transformed from a passive information provider to an active opinion shaper, plays a crucial role in this fast-paced and widespread information era. Therefore, a deep understanding of how media shapes political narratives is essential to maintaining the integrity of the democratic process. The methodology used in this research is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves the collection and analysis of data from previously published sources to build a comprehensive understanding of the media's role in politics. This approach allows for the identification of trends, challenges, and the broader impact of media on politics. Additionally, this study employs theoretical analysis by combining Media Dependency Theory and Agenda Setting Theory to examine how public dependence on media and media's power in setting the agenda influence political dynamics. The results of the study indicate that media often leverages its strategic position to direct public opinion, which can significantly impact election outcomes and public policy. The high public dependence on media for information makes the media a powerful tool in shaping the political agenda, often benefiting media owners or specific interest groups. Based on the findings and discussion, this article recommends the need for stricter media oversight and increased media literacy among the public to reduce bias and ensure that the media plays its role as an effective watchdog rather than a biased opinion shaper. These recommendations aim to support policies that promote transparency and integrity in journalism, ensuring that the media can continue to be a pillar of healthy democracy without compromising objectivity or accountability.

Abstract

This research examines the role of social media X as a tool for parents in supporting adolescent development through a journalistic perspective, using The Social Theory of Reality Construction and Media Exposure Theory. Social Reality Construction Theory and Media Exposure Theory explain that social interaction and continuous exposure to content on X allow parents and teenagers to construct, maintain, and shape their social reality perceptions. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type to understand how parents use X in supporting adolescent development. The research stages include subject identification, data collection through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, and data analysis using content analysis techniques. Data collection techniques included interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. To ensure data validity, data triangulation was used. The results showed that teenagers' use of X is influenced by peer factors and interest in certain information. Parental supervision of X use still needs to be improved. Parents who are more involved in their children's social media activities tend to have closer relationships and can provide more effective guidance. Effective strategies include intensive digital education, continuous engagement, activity monitoring, communication guidance, and appropriate educational approaches. This research emphasizes the importance of parents' active role in assisting their children to use social media positively and responsibly.
