Abstract

Using Everett M. Rogers’ diffusion of innovations theory, this paper analyzes how an innovation, such as data journalism, which comes out as a result of digital disruption is being adopted in the newsroom of a national media in Indonesia, KOMPAS. The presence of digital disruption which leads to the mushrooming of contents provided by non-journalists creates challenges for journalists. Data journalism with its core of accuracy and fact-based information comes as a solution for providing quality and solutions based journalism as believed by KOMPAS. The case study of KOMPAS involves interviewing its six media practitioners to find out elements of diffusion innovation theory, such as the characteristics of innovation, decisions-making process, and category of adopter, applied at KOMPAS to examine the factors behind the process of adoption of data journalism in its newsroom. This research shows that the adoption of innovation (data journalism) in a mainstream media like KOMPAS is heavily influenced by the decision to adopt the innovation by a powerful individual such as editor-in-chief, the alignment of the innovation with the company’s value and needs, the familiarity of its employee with the new method of journalism and a measured output.

Abstract

In an extraordinary situation such as pandemic and disaster, journalists perform a beneficial function in presenting accurate and reliable information. Information is passed on to the public who are in dire need of guidance during an emergency situation especially when the public is overloaded with unreliable information. Therefore, journalists have an obligation to present truth and eliminate disinformation by providing fact-based storytelling to the public as stated in one of the elements of journalism. The practice of data journalism has become popular as we are becoming more familiar with the presence of data as well as the development of technology. Thus, improving data literacy among journalists has become essential. The creation of Data and Computational Journalism Conference and Workshop Indonesia (DCJ-CI) 2022 aims to enhance the data skills of journalists nationwide by presenting a series of hands-on workshops, talk shows, seminars, and networking sessions to journalists, journalism students and lecturers, as well as data enthusiasts in Indonesia. This event was attended by hundreds of participants throughout the country and joined by speakers and experts from countries like U.S., England, India, Singapore, Nepal, and Indonesia. DCJ-CI resulted in data journalism and computational products published in several media in Indonesia.
