This study is designed with qualitative naturalistic method, with conjunctural approaches to examine complex and historically specific. The data were technically collected through interviews, observation, literature review and questionnaires. The data validity employed triangulation on both data and method. The data analysis process is carried out in three lines of activities carried out simultaneously, which are the data reduction, data presentation and conclusion / verification. The conclusions of the study show that the use of infographic media has proven to be able to shape the younger generation’s critical thinking.
