HUBUNGAN MENONTON CHANNEL YOUTUBE REMOTIVI TERHADAP PEMAHAMAN LITERASI MEDIA PADA KADER PELAJAR ISLAM INDONESIA YOGYAKARTA BESAR

Abstract

Youtube is one of the most accessed social media platforms, namely 88 percent of its
total users in 2019. This video-based media is widely used for several purposes, including
reviewing media literacy that every social media user must understand. This is due to the
impact of social media itself, especially on adolescents who are of a vulnerable age.
This study aims to reveal the relationship between the intensity of watching
Remotivi's YouTube channel and the understanding of media literacy among the
Indonesian Islamic Student cadres in Yogyakarta Besar. To answer this problem, a
combination of Moderate Media Effect theory and Ues and Grativications is used. The type
of research is a survey with data collection using a questionnaire, assisted by interviews,
and documentation.
Based on the analysis, it was found that there was a relationship between watching
Remotivi's YouTube channel and understanding media literacy in the Yogyakarta Besar
Indonesian Islamic Student cadre. This can be seen from the tiered correlation value of 0.47
with a significance level of 5%. This shows that there is indeed a relationship between
watching the Remotivi channel and literacy understanding even though it is at a moderate
level.
