Der vorliegende Beitrag ist ein Teilbericht zur Parlamentsstudie 1980 des Zentralinstitutes für Jugendforschung der DDR. Er enthält Angaben zur Wirkung von Massenmedien in der DDR auf Jugendliche. Als Auftrag der Massenmedien in der DDR geben die Autoren die "Erziehung des Volkes im Geiste des Sozialismus und die Befriedigung geistig-kultureller Bedürfnisse der Werktätigen" an. In diesem Zusammenhang diskutieren sie folgende Untersuchungsergebnisse: (1) Zeitaufwand für die Mediennutzung in Stunden pro Woche bei Fernsehen, Lesen, Radiohören und Kinobesuch; (2) den Prozentsatz der nahezu täglichen Leser der offiziellen Jugendzeitschrift "Junge Welt" 1968, 1972, 1976 und 1978; (3) die Stabilität und Veränderung der politisch-ideologischen Haltung bei jungen Arbeitern in Abhängigkeit vom Empfang politischer Information aus der DDR und der Bundesrepublik.

This paper examines the operations of mass media in disasters, the content of messages in disaster reporting, and the distortion in reporting warnings and disasters, based on empirical studies in several communities in Japan. In the warning stage, we found that the broadcast media are the primary source of information in most cases. However, the warnings often did not reach a complete range of audience, nor could it induce an adaptive response among these recipients. As for the mass media operation during and after the disasters, we found that the difficulties in mobilizing resources, uncertainties in reliable news sources, and malfuntioning communication channels were the main obstacles in reporting damages. The main characteristics of the content of mass media reporting in disasters are described. Six types of information are found in the disaster reporting of the broadcast media: Information on (1) advice or directions, (2) disaster agent, (3) safety message, (4) damage, (5) countermeasures, and (6) restoration. The results of the content analysis of the broadcast of two stations on the day of the Nihonkai-Chuubu Earthquake shows that personal messages and damages information were the most heavily broadcast. This did not always match the information needs of the residents. The media in Japan tend to exaggerate damages in disasters, leading to the distorted perception of hazards. They also tend not to report sufficiently the news people want to get. The reasons for these inaccurate reportings are: (1) journalist's attitude to news editing and reporting, and (2) distorted images or myths among journalists. The content of newspaper reporting of a false warning was analyzed as a case study.

Mass media is an effective means that can reach the masses in a large and widespread universality of reach.

The research methods are qualitative and descriptive by applying library study and emperical data. This study discussed the digitalization of freedom in democracy in the mass media. There are 4 (four) aspects that influence the shifting of religious behavior community as a result of mass media freedom, in economic, social, cultural, and political life. The results of the study reveal conventional media shifting to online media give positive and negative impacts to its users. Moral decline in community, the economic life that puts too much emphasis on material fulfillment efforts, has caused people to become consumptive. Culture has caused the changes in the way of nation's life and losing of political values that based on family spirit, consensus, and mutual cooperation. In the view of Islam, mass media is a mass communication media that functions in creating a public opinion. The forming of public opinion is something that cannot be underestimated in the Islamic system.

Perkembangan teknologi komunikasi yang berkonvergensi ini tidak hanya sebatas dalam ranah teknologi semata, melainkan telah merambah dan mengubah pola-pola dasar kehidupan manusia.Teknologi sebagai struktur proses dan artefak, merupakan ciri imperactive perkembangan masyarakat masa depan. Media massa merupakan sarana efektif yang mampu menjangkau massa dalam jumlah besar dan luas (universality of reach). Media massa memiliki peranan penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat dan dianggap mempunyai keunggulan yang dapat mempengaruhi pikiran manusia sehingga gaya hidup dapat berubah. Makalah ini mencoba memaparkan munculnya fenomena konvergensi media yang memaksa media konvensional melebarkan sayap dan masuk ke dalam jaringan internet (daring). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitiatif dengan menggunakan studi literatur dan data empiris. Dalam penelitian ini dibahas digitalisasi kebebasan berdemokrasi dalam media massa. Ada 4 (empat) aspek yang mempengaruhi pergeseran perilaku religiuitas masyarakat sebagai akibat kebebasan media massa, mulai dari aspek kehidupan ekonomi, sosial, budaya dan politik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, pergeseran media konvensional ke media daring memiliki dampak positif bagi yang memanfaatkan dengan baik, sebaliknya berdampak negatif jika memanfaatkannya secara sia-sia. Kemerosotan moral di kalangan masyarakat, kemajuan kehidupan ekonomi yang terlalu menekankan pada upaya pemenuhan material, telah menyebabkan sebagian masyarakat menjadi konsumtif. Sisi budaya mempercepat perubahan pola kehidupan bangsa dan lunturnya nilai-nilai politik yang berdasarkan semangat kekeluargaan, musyawarah mufakat, dan gotong royong. Dalam pandangan Islam, media massa merupakan media komunikasi massal yang berfungsi dalam menciptakan sebuah opini publik yang akan menjadi opini umum.Pembentukan opini umum adalah hal yang tidak bisa disepelekan dalam sistem Islam. Media massa berfungsi untuk membangun masyarakat religiuitas yang kokoh dan untuk memperkuat nilai-nilai kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara.
