This study aims to examine the effectiveness of newspaper digitization and its application to consumers, as well as its role in preserving newspapers at the National Press Monument. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that newspaper digitization has a significant impact in facilitating information access for consumers, especially the younger generation who are more accustomed to digital technology. Through platforms such as Sidak and E-Paper, the National Press Monument is able to provide newspaper archives efficiently and widely. Despite facing several challenges such as limited staff and copyright issues, digitization remains a crucial strategy in addressing the challenges of information in the digital era.
