In this era, people’s lives are intertwined with the Internet and digital media although society might have to bear potential negative effects of these platforms. Free flow of information and the rise of hate speech, fake news and disinformation on the Internet have no doubt increased social polarization. Furthermore, a new phenomenon has arisen, which combines hate speech with indignation or offence-taking, and that is hate spin. Hate spin uses hate speech and fake news as a weapon to gain access to political power. Hate spin is considered to be one of the biggest threats to any democratic country, including Indonesia. A relatively young democracy and its reputation for religious moderatism and diversity, Indonesia has not been immune to the hoax epidemic plaguing societies around the world recently. Scholars assume that improving digital literacy is the best solution against hate spin in Indonesia. However, the current concept of digital literacy has been limited as merely a matter of technical skill. This paper offers an analysis on how to define the contemporary digital literacy concept that has moved beyond basic Internet access, and on how the technology works and is used by political elites with evidence of computational propaganda delivered through political bots, fake accounts and false news during recent political events in Indonesia.

In recent years, the Internet has evolved into the most popular way for companies to communicate with stakeholders and key public while also changing the practice of corporate communications and public relations professionals. Especially in crisis communications activities that are considered to be more complex in the digital era. Handling of the crisis nowadays is considered ineffective if only using traditional ways, but also requires the use of the Internet within every element of the crisis. The Internet has dramatically changed the way to respond to a crisis. Thus, research on internet usage in crisis communication are getting a lot of scholar attention. But unfortunately, many studies still only focus on internet usage at one stage. This research paper presents an exploratory study conducted to understand how the internet could be used in all stages of the crisis either before the crisis, during the crisis, and after the crisis. Furthermore, crisis communication strategy in the digital age is not limited to the use of the Internet as a medium of communication, but also to note the principles and ways of communicating.Keywords: Crisis Communication, Internet, Corporate Communication, Public Relations ABSTRAKDalam beberapa tahun ini, Internet telah berkembang menjadi cara yang paling populer bagi perusahaan untuk berkomunikasi dengan stakeholder dan publik kuncinya sekaligus juga mengubah praktik komunikasi korporat dan public relations profesional.
