1 INTRODUCTION

Each unit of formal and informal education certainly

provide a useful infrastructure to support education

in accordance with the growth and development of

physical potential, intellectual, social, emotional,

and psychological learners (Sunyowati et al., 2022).

One question is the magazine walls (Mading), which

serves as a tool for the dissemination of information

on an institution (Romadhona et al., 2022). Mading

as a medium for resources that can be used by

someone to find out about new things (Romadhona,

2022). In general source of information is a source

of learning, as a media tool definite information also

includes things that can be used as a source of

learning, and to show its competence (Suhariono et

al., 2022).

The characteristics of media that can be termed

as a tool for resources is to be read and studied,

because of all the resources available to be

understood, disseminated, and the most important

features is to be transformed to others (Hernoko et

al., 2022). Hence the importance of a device or

media information when used as best as possible

because there is no one agency that less attention or

media tools as a source of information. Media

information can only be referred to as an

information resource that is if the information also

includes a well-targeted and can be well on target so

it can be useful for the maker and receiver of

information (Subagyono, Chumaida and

Romadhona, 2022).

Following the development of the times in the

modern era, many appliance resources are growing,

not only complains shaped print media, but also

many in the form of visual, as an example of media

resources that are widely used in today's era is

through social media, by means of modern

information this information users can easily obtain

information that the user wants to know information

(Romadhona, Subagyono and Agustin, 2022). Many

advantages contained in the source of information on

social media, one of which can be accessed easily

and flexibly. Because the source of information on

social media is already widely used by the maker

and the recipient of the information (Romadhona,

2020).

This research was focused on wall magazines

which are in the faculty of social and political

sciences at Airlangga University because these

fissile magazines are not updated or underutilized as

a source of information. Because for now the wall

magazine that has been fanned out contains the news

or news about the Faculty of Social and Political

Sciences, the previous or expired Airlangga

University. It is true because along with the

development of especially digital or electronic

sources of information, the function of wall

magazines is less attention. Students who are in the

faculty of social and political sciences tend to

provide or disseminate information about the news

from their faculties through social media. The way

to disseminate information using social media is

indeed more flexible, because it makes it easy for

users of information to get the information they

need. Therefore, the role of mading began to be

replaced with the development of information source

technology. Judging from the background described

above, a problem arises in the use of this wall

magazine in the faculty of social and political

science. One of them is the lack of utilization of wall

magazines that are there as a tool for disseminating

information to an agency.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Information Resources

Information resources are all things that can help

one to discover new things, resources alone have

characteristics that can be read, studied, studied,

studied, analysed, utilized, and developed.

Resources include anything used to help someone to

learn and display their competence, learning

techniques, and background. Learning resource is

anything useful and accessible for someone to learn

something useful that. In the process of learning the

learning resources component may be used singly or

in combination, excellent learning resources planned

and utilized. It can be concluded that the learning

resources are all good sources in the form of data,

people, and the form that lets someone in learning.

In general source of information is a source of

learning, because in resources has always contained

things that can be learned by someone while looking

for information.

The aim of the resources would have been very

numerous and varied according to the needs of each

reader, for example, help the information seekers to

be more specific when searching for the information

he was looking for, searching information with a

wide selection of information has many options

information to be used for learning resources, but

outline, useful information as the media source or

point spread of any information and is also the

source of a news or information digger.

2.2 Magazine Walls (Mading)

Wall magazine or abbreviated as mading is one of

the printed communication media, whose

presentation is usually displayed on wall media or

the like. Through this media the reader will know

about what information is happening outside the

users of this wall magazine, based on the shape of

the magazine can be included in the category of print

media. Wall magazine in the form of a magazine

posted on the wall. Magazines have the

characteristics of more periodical publications, for

example weekly or monthly. In addition to longer

published times, the contents of wall magazines are

also generally more thematic or based on certain

themes. For example, looking for a committee for an

activity held by student’s association through

posters, making friends in the virtual age, romance,

and so on.

In this era that has begun to advance, the

function of the magazine is actually very important

in campus life, with the existence of mading also

makes it easier for information makers to

disseminate information made to recipients of

information in the surrounding area of the campus

and its surroundings. Mading here can also function

as a means of entertainment for readers, for example

an information disseminator makes a work that

makes recipients of information feel entertained for

example making stories of humor, horror, romance

and others that make recipients of information

consider it an entertainment medium. With the

magazine here, it can also connect brotherhood and

kinship, for example when students association

conducts activities by spreading information during

the fasting month to do joint activities, this

information can also increase the enthusiasm of the

readers to come to the event to continue to connect

with family within students ASSOCIATION itself.

Mading here can also function as a forum for

information makers to channel their creativity, for

example writing a paper for example poetry, poetry,

humorous stories, horror stories and others that can

channel the talents or creativity possessed by the

author, another example is the invitation poster to

live a healthy life or also be able to make posters to

ICRL 2018 - 3rd International Conference on Record and Library

204

avoid negative activities such as making posters for

invitation not to consume cigarettes and so on.

Based on the scope of the manager and his

readers, a wall magazine in the campus area can be

divided into two kinds:

1. Magazine common wall which point used

for all campus residents are usually

managed by student’s association, student

activity units, or organization.

2. Special wall magazine created by and for a

specific community, for example by

classes, organizations, scouts, reading

clubs, writing clubs, club nature lovers and

others.

As for the material that became the magazine's

contents wall covering general knowledge, such as

the biography of famous figures, encyclopaedias,

and others. The problems associated with education

campus in the form of the problem of juvenile

delinquency, drug problems, love problems,

problems of promiscuity and others. Issues relating

to education in schools in the form of comments,

suggestions, criticisms, and suggestions, caricatures,

and others. News of events, activities or actual

problems that are taking place in the campus and off

campus environments, such as student activity unit’s

activities, competitions, arts activities, and other

activities. Entertainment, such as short stories,

poetry, humour, anecdotes, funny pictures/cartoons,

comics, and others

3 RESEARCH METHOD

a data collection method in which researchers

observed in certain research areas, sometimes

referred to as a method inconspicuous. An

observation method also gives researchers the

opportunity to see things that are routine but escapes

consciousness. An observation method also provides

an opportunity to learn things that could not be

questioned through the interview method.

Observations by the author in writing this article is

magazine in the Faculty of Social and Political

Science, University of Airlangga.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Magazine wall or commonly called wall magazine is

an information media in the scope of Airlangga

University in particular place in this study at the

Faculty of Social and Political Sciences Faculty

which is managed by student executive board in

particular the Ministry of Communications and

Information. FISIP wall magazine functioned as a

medium of information that moves on the forum

FISIP communication between students and students

from other faculties to receive information or news

is being updated among students today, including

research, technology, education, social services and

culture.

Payload content present in the magazine walls

are not merely a matter of news or information that

includes academic matter, the content that is inside a

wall magazine can be filled with interesting tips and

tricks that give tips and tricks e.g. student life. Then

another cargo that can be loaded in Mading is

student works such as the poetry of life, limerick and

could be filled with posters such as solicitation for

healthy living and so that is definitely worthwhile

among readers of the magazine walls.

When observation is made, the results obtained

are mading discovery that unused. Even though the

information is not the most recent, but the

information is in the form of old posters that are still

posted on the pages of the Faculty of Social and

Political Sciences. It happened because it was on

replacing with social media. In which their own

social media accounts more actively than Mading for

disseminating information on the activities of

students in the Faculty of Social and Political

Sciences. With the social media and other online

media are now Mading bit neglected and

overshadowed. Therefore, bulletin is now mostly a

formality in the media dissemination of information,

even though so bulletin should also be taken into

consideration in finding information.

However, some studies still show that Mading

still in demand as a container of information

dissemination and individual creativity. According

to research conducted Santoso (2007) on the wall

magazine as a medium for improving writing skills

and reading culture elementary students Taruna

Jaya. The magazine has a wall high enough role in

guiding and formation of students, both in terms of

knowledge, abilities / skills, talents and interests and

attitudes. Magazine wall has several functions,

namely: (1) informative, (2) communicative (3)

recreational, (4) creative. An outline of the bulletin

include: (1) section or editorial, (2) the news section,

(3) scientific papers or feature section, (4) the rubric

of creative literature, and (5) the general rubric wall

magazine has its benefits,

Then, according to the research conducted Sopha

and Hum (2018) concerning the use of the wall

magazine as a place of learning writing and

publication of junior high school students. Wall

magazine to be one type of mass communication

media write the simplest in the school environment.

Known wall magazine for magazine principle was

dominant in it, while the presentation is placed on a

wall or the like. Magazine principle is reflected

through the presentation, in the form of text, images,

or a combination of both. In addition to being a mass

media on school bulletin also serves as one of the

containers that support students in expressing ideas

in writing given for information, opinions, and

recreation. In support of these activities, the aspect

of appearance and layout content (Dessy, 2019).

Based on research conducted by Dewi (2019)

regarding the implementation of the bulletin as the

ability to write short stories that follow

extracurricular journalism student at SMPN 4

Singaraja. Researchers gain some functions bulletin

on extracurricular journalism, namely: 1) The means

of communication and delivery of information, 2)

entertainment media that is easy, inexpensive, and

simple, 3) Tools to practice journalism in a simple,

4) As a place of creativity student / student, 5 ) As a

grower interest of the student / student in creativity,

6) As the driving media boys and girls to read,

assess and respond.

According to research conducted by Suryawati et

al., (2018) about Mading information literacy to

increase students' interest in SDN 3 Pakem Library.

Mading their activity of making this very important

for the students, because of the presence of Mading

can be used as an opportunity to work with the

students in the pouring imagination and ideas that

they have in the form of text or images with a

variety of creative as they want. In addition to being

a place or container the publication of student work,

Mading can be used as information for other readers

and can be used to enhance information literacy

students' interest in SDN 3 Pakem.

Research conducted by the Agustia (2018) on the

wall magazine as a communication medium remote

village midwife Suak Pandan Aceh. Participants

were very enthusiastic in this community service

activities. Without feeling it was already noon. At

the time of making a wall magazine, small

discussions arose that proved that they already

understood the benefits of wall magazines. A lot of

information they want to convey wall magazine, one

of which is the race healthy toddler. Later, anyone

who wins in the race healthy toddlers his picture will

be displayed in the wall magazine in accordance

with their respective categories.

Examples of the above study conducted with the

object of research is not in the university

environment. However, there was one study

conducted by Dharma (2017) on the wall magazine

and the creativity of students (correlational studies

the influence of the wall magazine for the creativity

of students majoring in science communication

FISIP USU). In these studies, obtained a yield of

35.1% of respondents believed the student

satisfaction is influenced by the creativity of

students in the magazine wall. The study also found

there are many factors that influence the bulletin for

the creativity of students is influenced also by his

students informed and interested in seeing and

reading the magazine wall. In addition to 8, students

can also bring up and develop his ideas held to be

poured into a wall magazine.

In other words, Mading applied to the university

environment they are put to good use, especially to

improve the creativity of students. According to

Yutantin (2018) The magazine has a wall high

enough role in guiding and formation of students,

both in terms of knowledge, abilities / skills, talents

and interests and attitudes. The role of the wall that

looked staple magazine as one of the student activity

facilities physically and factually as well as having a

number of functions, namely: (1) informative, (2)

communicative (3) recreational, (4) creative. To

stimulate the creativity of students, the magazine

walls need to emphasize the dissemination of

creative content that anyway. According to (Fitria,

2019) content can be distributed through Mading

include: (1) section or editorial, (2) the news section,

(3) scientific papers or feature section, (4) the rubric

of creative literature, and (5) the general rubric.

Mading is not too different from the print

magazine content payload. Where the content

contains light reading. But even then, not quite

interested when technology presence information

and the Internet is increasingly widespread. There

are five ways you can create a magazine that could

include a wall magazine that appeals to students,

namely 1) contains content that stimulates

engagement, such as games, puzzles, and finding a

fun yet challenging. 2) contains small pieces of

information, because the human brain has limited

the amount of information that can be consumed and

stored at a certain time, so it provides pieces of

information is even more facilitate the understanding

of the reader. 3) accessibility, where access from a

content needs to be considered by making the

content more visually appealing. 4) reading the

ICRL 2018 - 3rd International Conference on Record and Library

206

information or literacy training that emphasizes the

importance of information access and read the

information. 5) provide some nonfiction content,

where, according to a study published in Educational

Leadership, nonfiction reading not only helps

students develop research skills and the ability to

read complex text, but also help to build knowledge.

Another solution that can be done other than to

revise the content that is printed wall magazine

shifts into a computer-based wall magazine.

According Pertiwi and Wiana (2015) computer-

based wall magazine is one of a kind graphic

publications using computer technology in the

layout process by optimizing the role of software as

a means to create and process text, images on a field

layout. Not much different and even more complex,

Mading made into an android-based application

called E-Mading. E-Mading is defined and designed

by Lailani (2013) that the application can help

students get information regarding campus activities

in a centralized way.

5 CONCLUSIONS

It can be concluded that the right solution to develop

mading in FISIP Airlangga, which eroded due to the

development of information technology such as

social media or the Internet is a way to improve

payload content and changes in the form of Mading

itself. Changes made to the content payload contains

content that is interesting reader involvement. As for

changes in the form mading, carried out by adjusting

the trend where all the forms which formerly started

converted into digital print or electronic. Where

mading can be an e-magazine in the form of a

website or android application.
