This study examines the level of public trust in information aboutCOVID-19 in the mass media, both old and new media, using an online questionnaire methodology on May 3, 2020,which was given to 60 respondents. The results show that the respondents’ level of faith in television is higher, but itsconsumption by viewers is much lower than that of online media (news sites and social media). The results showedthat viewers still deemed television a reliable reference for information. From these data it was found out why themedia are rarely used by the people but are able to gain high trust in the eyes of the public.

This paper aims to explain the role of opinion leader in dakwah activities through the analysis of communication network diffusion. This paper uses a descriptive qualitative method, with a network analysis approach. The results showed that opinion leaders playan important role in accelerating and slowing the process of diffusion of dakwah information. The higher the ability of people to influence others, the higher the effort also in influencing behavior changes that occur in that person. This is because the opinion leader has the characteristic of making himself a media through innovation into society as a social system. An opinion leader also becomes a reference for media behavior (media behavior). That is, when the opinion leader is a Dai, he is a information disseminator of dakwah information that makes himself as one of the media forming behavior to change the order of values, attitudes, and behavior of people in a systematic and structured. Double role of a Dai to achieve social system changes and realize the life of the people who Sallam, hasanah, and thayyibah, and getting of Ridho Allah SWT.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran opinion leader dalam dakwah Islam melalui analisis difusi jaringan komunikasi. Tulisan ini menggunaakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan analisis jaringan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para pemimpin opini memegang peranan penting dalam mempercepat maupun memperlambat proses difusi informasi dakwah. Semakin tinggi kemampuan orang mempengaruhi orang lain, maka akan semakin tinggi pula usahanya dalam memengaruhi perubahan perilaku yang terjadi pada orang tersebut. Hal ini dikarenakan opinion leader memiliki karakteristik menjadikan dirinya sebagai media lewatnya inovasi ke dalam masyarakat sebagai sebuah sistem sosial. seorang opinion leader juga menjadi rujukan bagi perilaku media (media behavior). Artinya, ketika opinion leader adalah seorang dai, maka ia merupakan penyebar informasi dakwah yang menjadikan dirinya sebagai salah satu media pembentuk perilaku untuk mengubah tatanan nilai, sikap, dan perilaku umat secara sistematis dan terstruktur. Peran ganda seorang dai guna mencapai perubahan sistem sosial dan mewujudkan kehidupan umat yang salam, hasanah dan thayyibah serta memperoleh ridha Allah SWT.

It is argued that media have great impact on human beings. Mass communication was able to persuade the public from cognitive (knowledge) and affective aspects (emotional and feeling) to changes in behavior. These effects are related to each other. This is due to the fact that when people receive messages, they do not immediately accept it, but the messages are filtered with careful consideration. And there are still personal and social factors which determine the extent to which mass media have impacts on changes in human attitudes and behavior. Indeed, humans live in a world that is filled with a variety of needs and interests, in which the media has a big role. The people’s actions may not directly result from the influence of the media. However, it cannot be denied that the global community will increasingly depend on the media.
