Abstract

Hoax news becomes a new problem in society, which often biases original information. Meanwhile, social media has now transformed into one of the main media for exchanging information and communicating in Indonesia, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is applied research that tries to answer the challenges in the pandemic era where we also experience massive distortions of information due to changes in all online communication media. As the subject of this research are students in their teens at the high school level. Teenagers are the subject of research because they are the biggest users of social media and are in the phase of forming an identity so that it is easier for them to accept wrong information without being clarified first. As a sample in this study amounted to 93 vocational students in Surabaya. The results of this study indicate that most of the students lack good literacy so they are still unable to identify hoax news, and they tend to be catalysts in spreading the hoax news therefore the education regarding the habits of literacy need to be improved.
