The analysis of current changes in the modern information space allows us to trace the general tendencies: the new subject and object areas are formed; the number of subjects is expanded; the new formats of interaction within the system of communications of the organization and in society as a whole are created. That means that publishing house’s PR-communications are complicated by the emergence of new elements, such as active audience, social networks as communication channels, promotions on the Internet and others.

Seeing the increasingly fast and dangerous growth of the virus, the government urges to stay at home and not carry out daily activities as usual first, because avoiding associations and maintaining distance are one of the main ways to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19. However, limited access to activeness in various sectors is not the reason that the movement of the da'wah movement will stop, one of which is the preaching of the Al-Qur'an. The rapid development of technology, does not limit activities in the field, can still communicate, receive information via the internet, and various social media.

Angka korban yang berjatuhan semakin bertambah termasuk di Indonesia. Melihat pertumbuhan virus yang semakin cepat dan berbahaya, maka pemerintah menghimbau untuk tetap di rumah dan jangan melaksanakan kegiatan sehari-hari seperti biasa dahulu, sebab menghindari perkumpulan dan menjaga jarak adalah salah satu cara utama memutus mata rantai penyebaran Covid-19. Namun terbatasnya akses keaktifan diberbagai sektor tidak menjadi alasan roda pergerakan dakwah pun akan berhenti, salah satunya adalah dakwah Al-Qur’an. Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, tidak membatasi aktifitas di lapangan, tetap bisa berkomunikasi, menerima informasi melalui internet, dan berbagai media sosial. Maka dakwah Al-Qur’an pun dapat dilakukan dengan media sosial. Tak ada halangan bagi seorang muslim untuk menghafal Al-Qur’an, maka ditengah pandemi dan kesibukan, Tahfidz online dapat menjadi wasilah. Tahfidz online dilaksanakan dengan menyetorkan hafalan dan muroja’ah melalui Whatsapp dengan mengirimkan <em>voice note</em>, kemudian akan dikoreksi oleh musyrifah yang menjadi admin grup.

BACKGROUND The Internet has become an established source for health information. The number of individuals using the Internet to search for health information, ranging from healthy lifestyle advice to treatment and diseases, continues to grow. Scholars have emphasized the need to give greater voice and influence to health consumers. Hong Kong, being one of the most technologically advanced and connected cities in the world, has one of the highest Internet penetration rates in the world. Given the dearth of research in an Asian context, Hong Kong is an excellent platform to study individuals’ perceptions (eg, benefits and limitations on seeking health information online and how the information is used) on health information seeking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to study individuals’ perceptions on health information seeking and to document their Internet information–seeking behaviors. METHODS Five focus groups (n=49) were conducted from November 2015 to January 2016 with individuals across different age groups (18 years or above). Focus group contents were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. RESULTS Older (55+ years) and less educated respondents were less likely to use the Internet to search for health information. Among individuals who obtained health information via the Internet, regardless of the severity of the health issue, the Internet was always the first source for information. Limited doctor consultation time and barriers to accessing professional health services were the main reasons for using the Internet. Convenience and coverage were regarded as the main advantages, whereas credibility and trustworthiness of health information were noted as limitations. The use of Web-based health information varied among individuals; hence, the implications on the doctor-patient relationship were mixed. CONCLUSIONS The prevalent and increasing use of the Internet for health information seeking suggests the need for health care professionals to understand how it can be optimally utilized to improve health outcomes. Strategies for communicating and disseminating credible health information in a form that users can understand and use are essential. Due to the rapid technological and related behavioral changes, online health information seeking and its effects need to be closely monitored.
