Reinforcement Political Education for the Young Generation through Podcast-Based Political Literacy to Increase Political Participation in Elections the Digital Era
Abstract
he young generation plays an important role in determining the political office, because their voting capacity is almost 30% of the total. So far, the political education that is carried out for first-time voters is still not optimal and tends to be done just before the election. Political education is very important for the younger generation so that the quota of votes can be accommodated properly so as to produce quality elect leaders. This paper aims to describe whether the advancement of technology in the digital era, especially the increasingly popular podcasts, can be used as a medium to provide intelligence and at the same time increase the participation of beginners in electoral political contestation as a form of building a democratic life. This research uses literature review from various sources in the form of journals and references that support the research. The results show that political education in Indonesia that has been carried out by political agents or the government towards first-time voters is still classified as not being implemented thoroughly, this is evidenced by the low level of their understanding of elections. The growing digital democracy can be used as a means of utilization to provide understanding for the younger generation in developing podcast media-based political literacy. The use of podcast media is expected to significantly shape people's mindsets and behavior,
Keywords: political education; political literacy; podcast; political participation; digital era.
