Abstract

Rapid digital transformation has brought about fundamental changes in the way information is disseminated and consumed by society. The development of digital media not only offers easy access and speed of information distribution, but also raises serious challenges in the realm of ethics, regulation, and policy. This study aims to deeply analyze the role and challenges of information in the context of digital ethics, media regulation, and policies relevant to the current technological era. The method used is a qualitative approach, by conducting in-depth interviews with digital media experts. This study is also complemented by a review of the latest literature and case study analysis. The results of the study show that although digital media supports the democratization of information, it also opens up gaps for the spread of disinformation, hate speech, privacy violations, and inequality of access to technology. Analysis of public interest theory, deontology, cyberspace, and diffusion of innovation is used to understand the complexity of these challenges. These theories underline the importance of adaptive regulation, universal ethics, and collective responsibility in maintaining the digital information ecosystem. One important finding is the central role of digital literacy in helping people navigate online content ethically and critically. The conclusion of this study states that digital information management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving the government, platform providers, academics, and the general public. Effective policies must not only be repressive against violations, but also promotive in encouraging digital literacy and ethical awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to answer the following question: what forms and mechanisms of gender bias are experienced by female journalists in Medan, and how do these biases impact their roles and positions within the field of journalism? Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that female journalists in Medan face systemic inequalities, including gender-based task segregation, male dominance in strategic editorial positions, and inadequate protection against harassment and workplace discrimination. Furthermore, prevailing social and cultural norms reinforce domestic expectations of women, which significantly restrict their mobility and career advancement in journalism. These findings affirm the relevance of structural feminist theory and the intersectionality framework, while offering practical contributions for the development of gender-responsive media policies. The study recommends revising internal media policies and strengthening advocacy networks to create a more equitable, inclusive, and discrimination-free professional environment for female journalists.
