Abstract

This study examines government communication strategies in strengthening national defense information resilience amid media globalization. The paper contributes by conceptualizing strategic communication as a non-military defense instrument against disinformation and digital influence operations. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this study analyzes policy documents, academic journals, and official reports published between 2019–2024 related to government communication, information security, and national defense. The analysis focuses on communication coordination, digital media utilization, public literacy, and institutional capacity. The findings indicate that effective information resilience requires integrated inter-agency communication, advanced digital monitoring, participatory public engagement, and transparent messaging. These results imply that strategic government communication is essential to maintaining national stability and safeguarding information sovereignty in a globalized media environment.
