Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has accelerated media convergence, integrating traditional and digital media into a unified and interconnected communication ecosystem. This phenomenon not only transforms the distribution of information but also reshapes how individuals think, interact, and construct their identities, particularly among Generation Z. This study aims to explore the meaning of media convergence from the perspective of Generation Z students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UIN Sumatera Utara). Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five informants selected via purposive sampling. The findings reveal that students perceive media convergence as a new normal embedded in their daily lives. Digital media are viewed not merely as tools but as integral spaces for learning, self-expression, and social interaction. Four major themes emerged: efficiency and accessibility of information, digital lifestyle transformation, creative and identity expression, and awareness of ethical digital challenges. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the subjective experiences of students within a faith-based higher education setting. These findings enrich the discourse on digital literacy and offer strategic implications for educational institutions in cultivating a generation that is adaptive, critical, and ethically responsible in navigating the digital media landscape.

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of how journalistic ethics are implemented in print media reporting amid the dynamics of news production and demands for immediacy. The study aims to analyze the application of journalistic ethical principles in the editorial process and news texts of Harian Waspada, focusing on accuracy, balance of sources, independence, non-sensationalism, and social responsibility. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through direct observation during an internship program in the editorial newsroom and qualitative analysis of selected news articles published by Harian Waspada. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, combined with qualitative content analysis. The findings indicate that Harian Waspada demonstrates a relatively consistent commitment to accuracy and social responsibility, while efforts to maintain source balance and editorial independence are generally evident. However, limitations in achieving ideal balance were identified in certain types of news, particularly brief reports and official statements, due to efficiency considerations and news characteristics. Overall, the study concludes that journalistic ethics at Harian Waspada are practiced in a contextual and adaptive manner within editorial routines, reflecting the media’s commitment to public interest and professional journalism standards.

Abstract

The proliferation of hoax news on social media has become a serious challenge in digital communication, as it can distort public understanding of information and shape erroneous public opinion. Digital literacy therefore stands as an indispensable competence for social media users to critically evaluate and respond to information circulating in digital spaces. This study aims to analyze the construction of digital literacy among social media users in preventing the spread of hoax news among students of the Communication Science Program, Faculty of Social Sciences, Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara (UINSU). A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was applied. Informants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, while data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students' digital literacy is constructed through media experience, social interaction, and their academic background in communication studies. At the same time, the practice of digital literacy encounters obstacles such as the rapid circulation of information on social media, reliance on particular sources, and habitual information sharing within digital social networks. This study further demonstrates that digital literacy is not solely an individual capacity, but also a process of social construction within the dynamics of digital communication
