Abstract

Improper social media use can potentially result in hoaxes, misleading information engineered mainly to distract the real information. The present study aims to describe the social media strategies applied by the Wajo Regional Agency of Communication, Informatics, and Statistics for preventing hoaxes. To this end, the qualitative descriptive approach was applied. The data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and social media documentation. This study found that the agency’s strategies included (1) monitoring of social media, (2) immediate clarification on hoaxes, and (3) publishing information regarding the dangers of hoaxes.
