“…It is critical to comprehend journalistic style in the field of digital journalism, as news writing is a critical component of news coverage (Yang et al, 2019;DeAngelo et al, 2019). Fake news, news credibility, and misinformation are all problems that arise when a journalistic style is not adhered to (Johnson et al, 2021;Wanta & Alkazemi, 2017). It is important to pursue this transition in order to transform news writing style to the point where it embraces new journalistic narrative modes via the use of digital resources to activate literary journalism methods (Jacobson et al, 2016).…”

This study aims to explore and understand the journalistic style prevalent on online news websites devoted to news literacy from the perspective of a media practitioner. The argument will first and mainly revolve around the journalistic approach that should be taken while reporting on digital news sites. Another critical job is determining the elements affecting the evolution of journalistic style in online news websites. The study's aims were accomplished by employing a semi-structured qualitative interview approach. Ten media experts were interviewed in-depth until the data set was saturated. According to the study's findings, journalists interact with their audiences in four unique journalistic approaches while teaching them about news items which has affected news literacy. Furthermore, the study's findings illustrate how journalistic style has evolved in the setting of online news websites. To fully appreciate how journalistic style has evolved in online news websites, media practitioners, educators, and journalism students must possess a working understanding of journalism history. This study aims to contribute to the body of knowledge by illustrating how the growth of journalistic style in online news websites has made new journalistic practices relevant.

If nothing is accomplished to stop it, the virality of fake news on social media will continue to grow and become more damaging, particularly among young people. Recognizing false information and verifying sources has become increasingly important as people rely on the Internet and social media for their news. The primary objective of this study is to assess the level of understanding of fake news media literacy among university students. Forty-three Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia students enrolled in the New Media Communication program were polled for this research. This study uses descriptive statistics to analyze the data collected via Google Forms—the results of examining the data generated immediately through a Google form. Young people read the news online but still have limited media literacy when assessing the truth of information. Research suggests that false statement is commonly discovered because young people do not carefully examine online news. Researchers conduct in-depth interviews and studies with this demographic to better understand how young people process information and evaluate its veracity. This research adds to the expanding body of knowledge on student use of social media in Malaysia, especially on how students get their news in light of the results of this pilot study, the main research project will consist of in-depth interviews with students to understand more about their perspectives on how to identify and differentiate between real and fake news.

This ability is expected to support career prospects in work and the competence of vocational graduates, including communication and collaboration skills in the industrial world.…”

Vocational literacy is the development of scientific literacy customized to the needs of the SMK level. This can be described as the use of literacy and numeracy to build skills related to their fields. This study aims to explain the concept of Technical Mechanics E-Module based on vocational literacy for SMK level, especially in building engineering. This subject is relevant to improving vocational literacy skills, considering that this subject is a derivative of Physics which is generally used to hone scientific literacy skills at the junior and senior high school levels. The method used is to study literature by identifying and processing the existing research results. The results of this study indicate that the development of the E-Module refers to knowledge, the process towards competence, and work attitudes by paying attention to work preparation, student responses to the latest technology, establishing networks and communication, and collaboration in work. A vocational literacy-based e-module is built based on abilities, problems, and needs that align with the characteristics of SMK Building Students, so it can be used to identify and improve their vocational literacy skills.
