Abstract

This study analyzes the role of the media and local cultural values of Dalihan Na Tolu in building interfaith harmony between the Muslim and Christian communities in Tapanuli, North Sumatra. Through media content analysis methods, in-depth interviews, participant observations, and documentation, this study found that local media highlighted more interfaith cooperation and dialogue, which contributed positively to harmonious relations between communities. Dalihan Na Tolu values, such as somba marhula-hula (respect for elders) and elek marboru (helping each other), are applied consistently in social interactions, including in interfaith contexts. Community leaders and religious leaders play an important role in maintaining these values, while the challenges of social media that can trigger tensions are successfully managed through the strengthening of local cultural values. The conclusion of this study confirms that the synergy between responsible media, the application of cultural values, and effective leadership is very important in maintaining and strengthening interfaith harmony. This research provides valuable insights into how interfaith harmony can be maintained amid the challenges of modernization and globalization of information.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of Muslim-Christian relations in the media in Indonesia and explores the application of the Dalihan Na Tolu perspective as an approach to social harmony. Based on media content analysis, in-depth interviews, and participatory observations, it was found that the media often portrays Muslim-Christian relations through three main narratives: conflict, dialogue, and collaboration. Factors such as political orientation, economic interests, and audience preferences influence how the media frames interfaith issues. Dalihan Na Tolu's perspective, with its values of Hula-hula (respect), Dongan Tubu (equality), and Boru (service), offers a relevant local approach to strengthening harmony through inclusive and constructive narratives. These findings show that media that adopt local values in their reporting have the potential to be effective agents of change in promoting social harmony in Indonesia. This research contributes to the literature of peace journalism and emphasizes the importance of a local culture-based approach in managing interfaith relations in diverse societies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of local media in North Sumatra in creating a narrative of harmony between Muslims and Christians through the integration of Dalihan Na Tolu values, a local wisdom of the Batak community. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation analysis of local media. The results of the study show that the media has a significant influence in building a positive narrative that encourages cooperation between religious communities. News that highlights mutual cooperation, mutual respect, and togetherness in social activities is the central theme carried by the media to create a harmonious atmosphere. The values of Dalihan Na Tolu—consisting of Somba Marhula-hula (respecting the elders), Elek Marboru (helping the younger), and Manat Mardongan Tubu (being careful of others)—are used to strengthen the narrative of harmony carried. Although the media faces several obstacles, such as political pressure and limited resources, they still try to present neutral and constructive news. The positive response from the community and religious leaders shows that media reporting based on local values is effective in reducing tensions and increasing social solidarity. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that local media has a strategic role in building harmony between religious communities through the local wisdom approach, which can be used as a model to manage diversity in a multicultural society.
