Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the exposure to political news of students in the Northeastern region. This research is survey research using questionnaires with a sample of 330 students studying at the bachelor's level using an accidental sampling method and analyzing the data with statistics. The results of the research found that students' exposure to political news among students in the Northeastern region is at the highest exposure to news from mass media sources. When considering gender and place of residence, it was found that there is also exposure to political news from mass media sources. Television is the most used tool for exposure news, received from home, and the method of exposure news is through hearing conversations. Most of the news exposure was in the form of campaign posters, and the quality of most of the news was thought to be up to date with current events.
The results of the research indicate the behavior of exposure to political news and can lead to guidelines for developing and designing political news services for local news service institutions as well as agencies that produce political news to enhance information literacy skills with accurate and appropriate information that is consistent with student behavior.
