New media refers to digital communication platforms and technologies that have emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In this paper, we highlight the literature and studies on the influence of the new media coverage on public opinion in the case of Imam Hussein, as well as related concepts that influence new media among the public. Nowadays, the increasing application of technology, especially in new media, has inspired researchers to conduct a study on the impact of new media communications. Unfortunately, the most worrying issue is how the communication systems solve these problems (Sánchez-Casado, Artal-Tur, & Tomaseti-Solano, 2019). There are several theme approaches related to this study such as the influence of new media coverage related with public opinion and its focus on the case of Imam Hussein. For the convenience of the reader, the we have compiled a highlight of this literature based on the objectives of this study. In general, the literature will assist researchers in getting some ideas and direction of the study conducted. According to Chua (2014), literature can be broken down into various sub-topics based on one’s interest and research values. New media is a platform for social interaction that entails a new branch of communication that emerges from communication contexts. This medium is made up of online sites, services, and activities that all involve some sort of process. Collaboration, sharing, and democratisation of new media users are among the processes involved (Ho, Chung, Kingshott, & Chiu, 2020).
