Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to show the misrepresentation of minority groups, specifically widowed women (hereinafter referred to as janda) in the era of convergence of media content (television as well as streaming and social media) in Indonesia. Media as the fourth pillar of democracy are supposed to inform and represent everything in a balanced and fair manner, instead of favoring the interests of the majority. The question we attempt to answer is: how the misrepresentation of janda on converged media content (FTVs) in a patriarchal society?Methods: This study applied feminist perspective in media convergence as well as the narrative analysis of Chatman.Findings: In general, the results of the study show that the convergence has not been in favor of janda, indicating that internet technology does not only strengthen the gender-biased values of media industry person in massively distributing FTVs (via streaming and social media) that threaten minorities, but also ignores the opposing feedback from netizens. As a result, the minority groups are increasingly muted. Reproduction of labelling of janda is a strategy of media owners to obtain maximum profits.Originality: We noted many studies on janda conducted from various scientific perspectives. However, studies that observe the depiction of janda in the media convergence in the perspective of communication studies are scarce. This study provides a discussion on the representation of janda in the vortex of capitalism in media convergence as the major novelty in this line of study.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to describe the important role of organizational culture in strengthening the deontology ethics of local media journalists. Deontological ethics states that the will to do good must arise from within a person's individual. Organizational culture is one of the means used to instill, strengthen and internalize these values. Technological disruptions that have an impact on changes in media consumption, the closure of print media, the development of online media have changed the dynamics of journalistic practice in Indonesia. The important role of ethics comes to the fore in maintaining the quality of local media journalistic practices. Methods: This research was conducted with a phenomenological approach. The data were obtained from interviews with local media journalists in Central Java. Informants in this study are journalists who have worked for more than 20 years in local media, members of journalist organizations and actively provide journalistic ethics training. Findings: Ethics are still considered important by journalists. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen ethics considering that not all journalists have adequate knowledge and understanding of ethics. The culture of media organizations and professional organizations plays an important role in strengthening the deontology ethics of local media journalists. Originality: This research provides a novelty on how to strengthen the deontological ethics of local media journalists through strengthening organizational culture. This research provides it in terms of building journalist ethics as individuals and the media as a press company that sells news ideology.
