Abstract

Recently, the practice of public sphere on social media has existed as the distinguishing reality in the post-truth era. Many dynamics of political life and society in this era illustrate that emotional attractiveness is more influential in shaping public opinion than facts, the existing reality. The reality and truth disappear due to the emotion of an interest from party and some group affiliations. Also information on the internet makes it accessible to the public. Democracy in Indonesia now can be considered running properly. The election held every 5 years indicates that the condition of democracy is fine or even better. Wisely, there are a lot of pros and cons cases happening in Indonesia each time election is held, for example in the 2019 election. This study tries to find out how the practice of public sphere on social media is in the post-truth era particularly in the presidential election, 2019. The method used here is mix-method: quantitative through social media observation and then followed with a qualitative method to get deeply on the social aspects of the public sphere.

Finally, this research found that the practice of public sphere on social media in the post-truth era show some perspectives and the truth according to each party and agent.
