Abstract

The emergence of citizen journalism in a news story has its own dilemma. On the one hand, citizen journalism presents a news story on an event quickly, naturally, and without intervention from any party. But on the other hand, citizen journalism also has the potential to deliver fake news (hoaxes) and news that does not pay attention to journalistic rules and codes of ethics. This dilemma actually poses its own challenges for the mass media to accommodate citizen journalism reporting into a rigid and hierarchical media bureaucracy. This study aims to obtain an overview of bureaucracy in the mass media in a news story and find out the consequences of mass media collaboration with citizen journalism. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method using the classical organizational communication theory by Max Weber, namely bureaucracy. Informants consist of editors-in-chief, editors, journalists, and public relations selected from several mass media representing print media (Pikiran Rakyat), electronic media (MNC Media and RRI), and online media (Kumparan and Mojok). The results of this study show that bureaucracy is absolutely needed in all forms of reporting, both through conventional mass media and citizen journalism. Pikiran Rakyat, MNC Media, and RRI make information from citizen journalism as initial information which is then processed through bureaucratic procedures such as verification, confirmation, and follow-up to be used as news material. Meanwhile, Kumparan and Mojok provide space for citizen journalism through several channels while still following the prevailing media bureaucracy. This is done in maintaining the validity of news by paying attention to journalistic rules and codes of ethics.

Abstract

Along with the increasing number of victims of COVID-19, the amount of information requested by the public on social media also continues to increase. The emergence of various hoaxes that can influence individual behavior is also an urgent reason for the government to come and contribute. Although the urgency of the government's presence on social media at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic has been recognized, not many studies have looked at this presence, especially whether their presence is beneficial. For this reason, the goal to be achieved in this research is whether local governments provide sufficient and appropriate information required by the Indonesian during the pandemic. This study analyzes the Twitter accounts of local governments in Indonesia that have implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) by taking tweets for content analysis and replies, retweets, and likes, to see the stakeholder engagement index (SEI). The results of this study indicate that information about reporting on the situation is the content most commonly shared by local governments through their Twitter accounts. The findings also show that the Tangerang Regency Government Twitter account has the highest Stakeholder Engagement Index, indicating the high level of public participation in information shared by the government through Twitter social media accounts. Academically this research fills the gaps between communication streams in crises by providing the need for and availability of information that, in practical terms, can be used to guide the creation of social media content during a pandemic.

Abstract

This study critically analyzes the representation of fatherhood and masculinity in the Indonesian film Keluarga Cemara (2018). It utilizes Norman Fairclough's framework for critical discourse analysis to examine how sociocultural norms and expectations shape the conceptualizations of fatherhood roles. The analysis revealed that conventional patriarchal values dictate fatherhood primarily through an economic lens, placing immense pressure on fathers as financial providers. However, the film's portrayal of the character Abah disrupts this dominant narrative by highlighting the importance of the father's emotional presence and involvement in children's lives, even when facing financial constraints. Abah's struggles expose the narrow definitions of masculinity and fatherhood perpetuated by society. His character illuminates the phenomenon of "father hunger" arising from emotional disconnection when paternal roles focus exclusively on being the breadwinner. This study argues that the film prompts a re-examination of outmoded fatherhood norms to address children's holistic developmental needs. This emphasizes the need for a more inclusive understanding of masculinity and fatherhood in the Indonesian society and culture. The analysis is situated within the specific sociocultural context of the film, highlighting the complex interplay between cinematic texts, discourse, and broader norms. It underscores cinema's potential to challenge engrained gender roles and catalyze progressive social change
