Abstract
Information bias in digital media has evolved into a systemic problem driven by algorithmic designs that prioritize user engagement optimization without adequate value orientation. This condition has contributed to polarization, amplification of sensational content, and unequal information representation. This study aimed to reconstruct data science algorithms based on Prophetic Ethics as a normative-operational framework to mitigate information bias in digital media. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a systematic meta-analysis of scholarly publications from 2016 to 2025 retrieved from reputable academic databases. Data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis to synthesize patterns of algorithmic bias and formulate a reconstruction model grounded in the principles of ṣidq (truthfulness), amānah (trustworthiness), tablīgh (transparency), and faṭānah (wisdom). The findings indicated that algorithmic bias occurred across all stages of the data processing pipeline and required structural reconstruction rather than partial technical adjustments. The proposed model integrated data validation, accountable governance, transparent modeling, and social welfare optimization within recommendation system design. This study contributed to the development of a value-oriented data science paradigm and expanded the discourse on algorithmic ethics in contemporary digital societies.
