Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of adolescent confidence in social media exposure in spreading hoax news. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that the spread of hoax news actually had long been happening. The purpose of deliberate hoaxes is to make people feel insecure, uncomfortable, and confused. Trust in media has deteriorated due to the high circulation of hoaks through social media, electronic and print media which also affects people's trust in the media. News / information circulating on social media can no longer be trusted entirely, given the number of news/information hoaxes circulating. The use of social media provides access to get news or information to be very easy and fast, in this sophisticated era, the Indonesian people (including youth groups) prefer to spend their time with a mobile phone in which there are various types of social media which is certainly interesting to be use and read so as not to make someone bored with what they read even though social media has a positive and negative impact. Adolescent intelligence in selecting information delivered by social media is good enough. This is proven, the informants always sort out any information they receive through social media before they re-publish it.
