Abstract

Fact-checking practices are one of the initiatives to combat the spread of hoaxes. An organization called MAFINDO is one of Indonesia's pioneers of fact-checking initiatives. Using content analysis, this research was conducted to examine fact-checked articles published by MAFINDO. We classified the results based on themes, platform, and type of content from July 2015 to July 2020, during the first five years where MAFINDO has been operating. Our study found that, the number of hoaxes being checked increased every year during the period of analysis. Secondly, political themes dominate the entire fact-checking articles verified by MAFINDO. Furthermore, the majority of hoaxes circulated and verified by MAFINDO were predominantly found on Facebook. Finally, hoax mostly found in the form of non-video images and text. This study can be seen as part of the illustrations of the spread of hoaxes in Indonesia and used as a basis for various hoax prevention movements

Abstract

This study explores a comparative analysis of Germany and Indonesia in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of addressing cross-cultural dimensions in global health crises—a field that remains underexplored. By enhancing preparedness for future emergencies, the research critically examines whether theoretical assumptions developed in Global North contexts can be meaningfully extended to Global South settings. Specifically, this study hypothesizes that political predispositions, media use, and media evaluation are associated with policy malaise, and investigates these associations in light of cross-cultural differences. Using data from Germany (n = 1,458) and Indonesia (n = 1,043), the findings reveal significant differences between the two nations in the prevalence of political predispositions, media consumption habits, media evaluations, and levels of policy malaise. Further analysis demonstrates that while assumptions developed and tested within Global North contexts are partially applicable to Global South settings, the observed effect sizes vary. Finally, the study situates its results within the distinct cultural and political contexts of each nation, offering a nuanced critique of how social constructs shape policy perceptions in non-Western societies.

Abstract

This study seeks to contribute to the emerging studies on fact-checking practices in the Global South by focusing on Indonesia, one of the largest democratic countries in the world. An organization and grassroots movement called MAFINDO (Masyarakat Anti Fitnah Indonesia/the Indonesian Anti-Defamation Society) has been spearheading fact-checking practices in Indonesia by operating a website “turnbackhoax.id” containing fact-checked articles including on misinformation spread through WhatsApp. This research uses content analysis to examine a diverse array of WhatsApp-related misinformation verified by MAFINDO, spanning from July 2015 to July 2020. Our findings reveal that politics and everyday occurrences, or trivial issues top the charts of WhatsApp-related misinformation, with nearly half primarily existing in the text format. Notably, the originators of this misinformation remain unknown, and MAFINDO primarily utilizes news articles for verification. Furthermore, we assess the "fact-check worthiness" of WhatsApp misinformation comparing it to a traditional "worthiness" from the notion of news values and "public priority issues" and found that over half of the misinformation falls within these categories. We hope these findings can inform strategies and interventions aimed at addressing the propagation of misinformation within the confines of enclosed platforms such as WhatsApp.
