Kata Kunci:

This literature study examines multiculturalism in public communication policy, analyzing the integration of its principles and the challenges and opportunities in the digital era. The analysis reveals that relevant multicultural principles for public communication include recognition, equality, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue. These principles can be integrated across all stages of public communication policy. In planning, through impact analysis and consultation with diverse groups. In content production, through fair and accurate representation, inclusive language use, and stereotype avoidance. In message distribution, through utilizing multiple channels to reach all groups. In evaluation, through measuring impacts on all groups and collecting diverse feedback. Implementation requires political commitment, resources, and active participation from various stakeholders. The digital era presents new challenges for multicultural public communication. Algorithm-driven polarization, hate speech, audience fragmentation, and digital divides are serious challenges. However the digital era also opens significant opportunities: broader reach, greater public participation, easier cross-group dialogue, wider use of regional languages, and partnerships with local content creators. Multicultural public communication policy must manage challenges while leveraging opportunities. Adaptive, inclusive, and participatory approaches involving various stakeholders are needed. Multicultural public communication is not merely about information transmission but about building understanding, trust, and solidarity amid diversity. This study contributes theoretically to understanding culture-communication-policy nexus and offers practical insights for designing public communication that nurtures diversity and strengthens social cohesion.
