Abstract

The issue of digital learning culture in teaching news writing is very important and needed. Innovative learning media has a positive impact on increasing students’ understanding of learning materials. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of web-based media in teaching news writing to journalism education students at Indonesian universities. This study implements an experimental research method in which the media was tested using a quasi-experimental design. The data was analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA. The sample population of this study were fourth semester students of the Indonesian language and literature education department at four universities in Central Java, Indonesia, who took journalism education. The samples were selected using cluster sampling in which four universities implement four different learning media, namely web-based media, PowerPoint, video, and audio media. Results of the study revealed that the cultural impact of digital learning in implementing web-based media was more effective on teaching news writing rather than implementing PowerPoint, video, and audio. © 2025 Ahsin, Andayani, and Setiawan.
