Mass media serves four primary functions: informing, educating, entertaining, and persuading (Schramm in Mass media and national development—the role of information in the developing countries, Stanford University Press, Stanford, 1964). In the context of disasters, the media plays a critical role in delivering information, providing mitigation education, and offering persuasive content. However, limited resources and space sometimes prevent mass media outlets from fully realizing these functions. Often, market demands compel them to filter and prioritize the information they present to the public. In disaster coverage, the media may focus more on dramatic issues such as aid distribution controversies—where certain groups receive more assistance than others—rather than the disaster event itself. It appears that the entertainment value of such drama often overshadows the educational and informational aspects. On the other hand, the media are also expected to assist stakeholders by disseminating information about natural hazards, educating the public on risk mitigation strategies, and persuading audiences to remain vigilant against potential threats. To some extent, they have fulfilled this role, as people rely on the media to keep them informed about disasters across Indonesia. But does the media, particularly newspapers, contribute effectively to educating and persuading people about disaster risk reduction? This study aims to collect all online newspaper articles related to natural hazard-induced disasters—specifically tsunamis, earthquakes, and floods—published in Indonesia from 2005 to the present. Through qualitative content analysis, this chapter seeks to illustrate how the media communicates information provides mitigation guidance and persuades readers about disaster risk reduction and management.
