摘要

The high rate of human trafficking in West Java province motivates the government to develop various programs to eliminate the crime. Local governments formed working groups such as the Task Force against Human Trafficking, which involves various elements of regional organizations, non-governmental organizations, and universities. In addition, the implementation involves community leaders, both formal and informal leader figures. These programs also include the communication program, which they manage to optimize the results. Along with the development of information and communication technology, media play a significant role. This study aims to find a model of media management in the implementation of human trafficking eradication program in West Java province. The method used is an exploratory case study. The object of research is the Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force in West Java. We collected the data through interview, observation, and literature study. The result of this research shows that the management of the media in the implementation of policies has contributed significantly to the increase of knowledge and awareness about the dangers of trafficking, and therefore the management needs to consider various characteristics of the region and the community.
