Abstract

This research is an audience reception study of hoax information on social media during the 2019 Presidential Election campaign in the post-truth era. This research uses a qualitative method with a reception study approach and various theories of active audiences such as the encoding-decoding model from Stuart Hall, which was also elaborated by David Morley and Ien Ang. The result shows that there are three typologies in receiving hoax. Those are the pragmatic-creative, ideological, and critical-skeptical type of audiences. The three typologies of the audience have different characters in the reception of hoax information in political communication on social media. Some audiences are permissive-negotious, some are critically oppositional, and some are hegemonized by hoax information in the 2019 Presidential Election political moment in such a way that they are part of the increasing turbulence of hoax.
