The research method uses a library approach using techniques to analyze the contents of Islamic media. The validity of the data uses perseverance techniques and the rigorous preparation of relevant Islamic media news content. The results of the study found that da’wah media were able to reach all aspects, both children, adolescents, and parents. There is the power of the Islamic press which is under the unity of Muslims so that the Islamic press still exists in the modern era. The recent decline in the Islamic press is due to the inconsistency of the Islamic press in carrying out relevant themes for Islamic preaching positively. So that the Islamic press seems more trapped against market needs and tends to be more liberal. Even though the Islamic press should have its activeness in consuming media that has Islamic nuances, besides that innovation is also needed to develop the Islamic press
