Many digital media outlets had live coverage of this event. For the astronomy website langitselatan, a new media website, preparation for this event began in 2015. In this instance we used our available channels, which included interactive social media platforms, to share information regarding the 2016 TSE. We used a special domain, gerhana.info, to cover everything about this particular eclipse. This article explores our strategy in utilising new media for astronomy communications using gerhana.info as a case study and its impact up to the day of the eclipse. We also explore the impact on people’s awareness of astronomy topics and events after the TSE via our main website langitselatan.</span></p>
