<![CDATA[The development of technology and mass media has had an impact on people's mental well-being. One of them is the increasing prevalence of mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, which are directly related to social media use, work pressure, and the social isolation that results from digital life. The aim of this research is to examine the role of mass media in increasing awareness and access to mental health services. The research method used is descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach, involving surveys and interviews with respondents representing various age groups and social backgrounds. Data were collected to evaluate the extent to which mass media provide accurate and educational information about mental health and facilitate access to appropriate support services. The research results show that mass media has an important role in increasing public awareness about mental health issues.

<![CDATA[The phenomenon of influencers in political communication has undergone development in the digital era. The use of influencers as a medium to convey political messages not only changes the paradigm of traditional communication but also creates new dynamics in the interaction between the public and political figures. The involvement of influencers in political campaigns shows great potential in influencing public opinion. This research aims to examine the role of influencers in political communication, particularly in the context of their influence on public opinion and the challenges faced in collaboration between influencers and public figures or politicians. The main focus is to understand how influencers influence political decisions and the implications of using influencers in political communication strategies. This study uses qualitative methods with a case study approach. The results show that influencers play a crucial role in shaping political narratives and influencing public opinion.

However, the study also reveals significant challenges, including credibility issues and potential information bias that can affect public trust in the political process. The study concludes that while using influencers in political communication offers new opportunities for public engagement, it also requires a careful approach to managing the associated risks and challenges. Political parties and candidates need to choose influencers who have a wide reach and high credibility and integrity to maintain public trust and enhance the effectiveness of political communication.]]>

<![CDATA[The digital era has accelerated the spread of information, including disinformation and hoaxes, which often appear in the context of political communication. This phenomenon threatens the integrity of the democratic process and the quality of information received by the public. Therefore, the importance of media literacy and fact verification has become increasingly urgent to ensure that citizens can make decisions based on accurate and reliable information. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various media and factual literacy initiatives in reducing the influence of disinformation and hoaxes among voters. The primary focus is identifying the most effective strategies to promote a critical understanding of media content and the ability to verify facts independently. The methods used were field experiments and surveys conducted in several regions with significant variations in media literacy levels. Respondents were selected through stratified random sampling techniques and divided into a control group and an intervention group that received intensive training on media literacy. The results showed that participants who took media and factual literacy training showed significant improvements in identifying and rejecting misinformation. This group is also more critical of information sources and cross-checks facts more often before sharing content. The research conclusion states that media literacy interventions can significantly reduce the influence of disinformation and hoaxes in political communication. In-depth and continuous education is needed to strengthen citizens' abilities to face information challenges in the digital era. Furthermore, collaboration between sectors, including government, educational institutions, and the media, is important to increase awareness and media literacy skills among the wider community.]]>

<![CDATA[The global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the dynamics of political communication in various countries. Governments around the world are faced with unprecedented communications challenges, where rapid and effective decisions are urgently needed to address the spread of the virus. However, the effectiveness of political communication is often hampered by lack of information, misunderstanding and public distrust. This research aims to analyze how the government communicates with the public during a health crisis and how the public responds to this communication. The primary goal is to identify effective strategies and uncover communication gaps that can serve as valuable lessons for future crises. The method used in this research is content analysis from various news sources, government reports and social media. In addition, respondents were surveyed to measure public perceptions and responses to government communications. The research results show significant variation in the effectiveness of communication strategies between countries. Countries with open, transparent and consistent communication tend to experience higher levels of public compliance and more controlled spread of the virus. Meanwhile, countries with sporadic and ambiguous communications have had difficulty managing the pandemic and faced more excellent public resistance. This research concludes that success in managing a health crisis depends not only on the policies taken but also on how the government communicates with the public. Transparency, consistency and continuity in communications have proven critical in building public trust and supporting pandemic mitigation efforts. This research provides insights that can help policymakers improve communication strategies in the future.]]>
