This study aims to see the effectiveness of society in seeing a phenomenon in the environment specifically flooding. But this can be supported or inhibited by the point of view of a media. The media becomes one of the sources trusted by the public, so that any information that is aired will affect the psychological community that enjoys the show. In the aspect of natural disasters, this will affect people's attitude towards government policy in the disaster mitigation process.
