ABSTRACT

Social media as a gateway to information provides a wide variety of media users with the ability to read a text message and understand the meaning of a social media. With the flow of information through social media lasting for 24 hours, media users can bring up the cultural consumption of information. The main problem in this context is the meaning of social media texts by media users. This paper explores the meanings of social media texts, which give birth to a cultural consumption of information. The problem that is posed is what kind of cultural consumption is found and how readers interpret text messages on social media. Data collection was conducted through the use of a questionnaire distributed online to social media users, and the approach used was media semiotics. This paper concludes that media users who have roles as readers, publishers, and producers of social media texts have a higher tendency to read information and ways to actualize themselves as active media users. The higher reading interest in various information leads to the use of different social media and has developed potential problems with the meaning of text messages between users. This study contributes to the importance of increased culture in digital media literacy by having a critical attitude towards various pieces of information.
