Abstract

There are many positive things that teenagers and children may benefit from digital media such as medium of education and entertainment, easy access towards information, and as connecting tools. However, digital media does not only bring positive impacts towards children and teenagers. Under the freedom of information access, there is also a high risk of teenagers to access inappropriate information such as violence, pornography, horror and so on. Because of this, parents should agree that the presence of information technology is not safe if used freely without supervision. But, even though parents experience concerns regarding the excessive use internet by their children, not many of them are aware about what role can parents play to prevent their children from becoming compulsive internet users. Therefore, this community development program is expected to be able to educate parents in assisting their children in using digital media through media literacy. The location of study and implementation of this community service is in Semarang, which will serve as a continuation of the previous community development regarding media literacy which been carried out by the Ministry of Communications in Semarang with focus target on parents of children and teenagers (elementary, middle, and high school children).
