Abstract

This study aims to deepen the understanding of the millennial generation in Malang on the importance of media literacy skills in preventing the spread of radicalism through social media. The units of analysis in this study were students from Brawijaya University and Muhammadiyah Malang University who were active in campus organizational activities. Researchers use a qualitative approach with an interpretive paradigm in order that researchers can obtain a more detailed perspective or point of view of the informant. The results showed that the millennial generation already understands the concept of media literacy and practices it in using social media so that radicalism spread through social media cannot influence them.
