Abstract

This study discusses media responsibility in the perspective of Islamic communication within the context of contemporary digital media. The rapid development of digital technology has transformed patterns of information production and consumption, while simultaneously generating ethical challenges such as misinformation, irresponsible content dissemination, and declining civility in public communication spaces. This article aims to analyze how Islamic communication principles provide an ethical framework for responsible media practices. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study examines normative values in Islamic communication, including ṣidq (honesty), ḥikmah (wisdom), adab (propriety), and mas’uliyyah (responsibility), and their implications for media use. The findings show that these principles emphasize information verification, ethical content creation, respectful interaction, and the promotion of beneficial messages. The integration of Islamic communication values is essential for fostering responsible media behavior and maintaining social harmony in the digital era. The study concludes that Islamic communication offers a relevant moral and ethical foundation for strengthening media responsibility amid the complexity of modern digital communication.
