Abstract

This research analyzes communication tools or media as a public policy subsystem used by the government and identifies forms of public policy communication in handling pandemics in Indonesia. This type of research is qualitative and designed using a literature study approach; focuses on communication in the network of actors, circulation of ideas, interests of policymakers, and their influence on the public environment. The data sources are divided into two groups: primary data sources and data sources derived from observations, and secondary data derived from books and articles relating to pandemic policies during the COVID-19 emergency as documents. The results show that the government's communication tool is the central government's official website through the COVID-19 Task Force and local governments; a data and information centre. The form of public policy communication handling the pandemic in Indonesia shows that in the early days, most people were divided into the pros and cons of information about COVID-19. Circulation of information is confusing and challenging to limit because restrictions on activities outside the home lead to the intensive use of digital technology and impact the information circulating, which is partly false information. Therefore, the communication of pandemic handling policies requires some vertical and horizontal changes.
