The Influence of Online Mass Media on Anti-Corruption Legal Awareness Education

Abstract

This research examines the influence of online mass media on anti-corruption legal awareness education. The study uses an empirical and normative juridical approach with calculations using chi-square statistics. The results showed that criminal law enforcement would run effectively if the community has legal awareness in combating crime. Online mass media can play a role in increasing the community's legal awareness through its duties and functions as a means of communication and information. Reading online mass media affects the legal awareness of anti-corruption society in the form of anti-corruption, a positive attitude towards anti-corruption, and perceptions of anti-corruption. Based on the calculation results, there is a significant difference between reading online mass media with anti-corruption legal awareness, which is realized through knowledge, positive attitude, and anti-corruption perception. There is a significant difference in level because some knowledgeable and have a positive attitude towards anti-corruption, lack an anti-corruption understanding.
