The level of media literacy in a post-pandemic

Media literacy has become an increasingly critical skill in the post-pandemic era, particularly in addressing the spread of misinformation and disinformation that can negatively impact society. This study aims to assess the level of media literacy among the public after the COVID19 pandemic and examine their tendencies toward teleworking in the post-pandemic era. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through an online survey distributed to 150 respondents. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis to identify trends and patterns related to media literacy and teleworking. Findings indicate that while most respondents acknowledge the importance of media literacy in daily life, there is still confusion regarding its actual concept, especially in distinguishing between fake and credible news. Additionally, the study reveals that although teleworking is supported, a significant portion of respondents still prefer working in an office rather than from home. These findings highlight the need for increased awareness and education on media literacy, as well as the necessity of flexible teleworking policies. This study suggests that media literacy training and education should be further integrated into higher education curricula to combat the challenges of infodemic and ensure sustainable teleworking practices in the evolving work environment.
