Abstract

Globalization has driven the availability of access to abundant information. Nevertheless, the easier people in getting the information is not identical with the ability to gain the logical and critical understanding.The greatest battle of public office elections and the implementation of policies are against the hoaxes and also the perceptions raised from those fake news. This trend is also happening in several other parts of the world such represented by the phenomenon of Brexit and Donald Trump's victory. Apparently this pattern has been occurring in Indonesia since 2014 presidential elections until now. Government policies pose many obstacles regarding the social perceptions, beliefs and values that has been shaped through personal preference to the news mainly spread through social media. There are lack of confirmation to the substantial aspect of the policies. Those are the symptoms of the Post-truth Era.
