Abstract
The threat of terrorism is still a complex problem in the world and Indonesia in particular. As a large and heterogeneous democracy, Indonesia, which is a country that upholds freedom of expression, has the opportunity to become a place for the spread of radicalization. Media has become one of the most popular tools lately as a means of disseminating information on terrorism propaganda. The role of the media in the formation of volunteers to join terrorist groups is a phenomenon that is growing every year. This study uses qualitative analysis techniques to see the existing problems. The correlation between the media and the development of terrorism has been discussed in the research. The role of countering terrorism has become the focus of the government's attention along with the increase in acts of terrorism in Indonesia. Good understanding of information literacy about terrorism will minimize terrorist acts. A literate society and community will help as a watchdog in the pace of terrorist development. the dissemination of valid information in the media will provide an understanding to the public which ones are worth continuing or not
