Abstract

Pidie Jaya uses internet as the media to campaign the development programs of the government. It is shown by the preparation of technology infrastructure in this area that is served by the government such as websites, blogs, portals, emails, and Facebook sites. These programs are effectively giving positive impact in the progress of development in Pidie Jaya. This paper uses interpretative paradigms in concluding the facts where both human and natural resources in Pidie Jaya are explored and informed. Theories and concepts are formed by new media (Internet), local government, social and political development, and communication. The new media (Internet) had been playing an important part on the 4 years old district of Pidie Jaya and made this area became one of the best new district not just in Acheh, but also in Indonesia. The challenge is like other areas in Acheh, is to synergize the influence of the new media (Internet) with the traditional values that put meunasah (small mosques) as a specific cultural mass communication place without jeopardizing the goal for development it serves.
