Dalam konteks media berita, Ruang gema (echo chamber) adalah istilah kiasan dari suatu keadaan ketika sebuah keyakinan yang diyakini atau menjadi keputusan bersama oleh komunitas, disebarkan secara berulang-ulang dalam sebuah komunitas tertutup oleh para anggotanya. Dengan mengunjungi sebuah "echo chamber", orang-orang dapat melihat anggapan atau pernyataan yang sesuai dengan pandangan yang mereka yakini secara pribadi, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan bias konfirmasi. Ruang gema dapat meningkatkan polarisasi dan ekstrimisme sosial dan politik.
