Ruang gema itu apa sih?

Dalam media berita, ruang gema (echo chamber) adalah sebuah deskripsi kiasan dari sebuah keadaan dimana keyakinan diyakini atau disebarkan oleh komunitas dan diulang-ulang dalam sebuah sistem tertutup. Dengan mengunjungi sebuah "echo chamber", orang-orang dapat menyaksikan informasi yang menegakkan pandangan mereka yang berdiri, berpotensi menjadi bias konfirmasi. Ini dapat meningkatkan polarisasi dan ekstrimisme sosial dan politik.
