Abstract

Background: The popularity of esports in Indonesia has driven the emergence of esports journalism as an integral part of sports journalism. Unlike traditional sports, esports grew out of gaming culture, which makes esports journalism a distinctive practice. In Indonesia, this phenomenon has driven various digital-native media outlets focused on esports coverage. However, studies on how local media manage their editorial and business operations in this field remain limited. Purpose: This research explored how IndoGamers–one of the pioneers of esports media in Indonesia–performs its newsroom and business management functions. Methods: It used a case study method with primary data collected through interviews with four members of the newsroom team, along with secondary data, analyzed using the POAC management model (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling). Results: The results show that the editorial process no longer relies on conventional news values but is entirely driven by Google trends and SEO logic. Nevertheless, IndoGamers provides in-depth news coverage, especially concerning the benefits of esports. Therefore, it does not merely portray esports as a form of entertainment. The division of journalistic tasks based on specific game specializations–without involving external contributors–demonstrates the dominance of platform logic in newsroom management. Conclusion: These findings affirm that esports journalism requires a management model responsive to data, real-time trends, and digital visibility demands. It offers theoretical and practical contributions to digital media studies and newsroom management in the algorithm era. Implications: Thus, IndoGamers’ practice of aligning editorial decisions with Google search trends and SEO logic demonstrates that data-driven strategies function not only to increase traffic, but also as a mechanism to maintain the relevance and accessibility of educational esports coverage while simultaneously fostering more positive and socially valuable narratives for audiences.

Abstract

Background: The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria has prompted various national and international media outlets to reveal how they, with different geopolitical positions, construct contrasting narratives despite covering the same events. Purpose: This research reveals how two international online media outlets with different geopolitical backgrounds, BBC News Arabic and AlHadath, frame the issue in response to key figures who were fully involved in the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Methods: This study used Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model, which comprises four elements: defining problems; diagnosing causes, making moral judgment; and treatment recommendations. Data collection was conducted using observation and note-taking techniques, with primary data from two news videos: “Assad Speaks for the First Time after His Fall” from BBC News Arabic and “President of the Syrian National Coalition: I Announce the Fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s Regime” from AlHadath. The secondary data consisted of scientific articles, journals, and books. Results: The study shows that BBC News Arabic defines the problem as political instability caused by an endless civil war and external political pressure. Thus, this media outlet remains neutral by emphasizing diplomatic adjustments. Meanwhile, AlHadath defines the problem as the fall of a dictatorial regime that oppresses the people and civilians due to popular resistance. Clearly, this media outlet criticizes the Assad regime and advocates for a transition of power to the opposition. Conclusion: These findings explain how the media works to reveal fundamental domination and institutional bias. The difference between these two frames shows the ideological situation and geopolitical objectives of the two media outlets. Implications: This study shows that framing in the media is a strategic tool designed to sway public opinion in the interest of political legitimacy.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s PP 28/2024 reshapes controls on tobacco and e-cigarette products, making news coverage a crucial venue where policy meaning is constructed. Prior research on media framing and health communication indicates competition between public-health frames (risk, youth protection, efficacy) and industry frames (jobs, costs, consumer choice), motivating hypotheses about outlet differences, headline–body congruence, source–frame coupling, and timing shifts. Purpose: To describe the balance of public-health versus industry frames in Indonesian online news on PP 28/2024 and assess headline–body alignment, sourcing patterns, and early temporal trends. Methods: Quantitative content analysis (unit: article) across five major outlets, August 2024–August 2025; codebook for dominant frame, headline frame, tone, source mix, and evidence cues; 15% double-coding planned (target κ ≥ 0.70); χ² with Cramér’s V, McNemar tests, descriptive tables, and a monthly trend line as primary outcomes. Results: A 10-item pilot (five outlets) found industry frames 6/10 (60%) and public-health frames 4/10 (40%); headline–body agreement was 10/10 (100%). Outlet × frame association was χ² = 10.000, p = .075, Cramér’s V = .707. Public-health–framed pieces more often referenced primary law; later coverage tilted toward economic and compliance narratives, consistent with framing theory and efficacy-timing expectations. No adverse events apply. Conclusion: Early coverage shows competitive framing with strong headline integrity but uneven verification of economic claims. Full-sample analysis will test outlet differences and source–frame coupling and inform practice on mirroring legal specifics, balancing sources, and sustaining risk-and-efficacy context. Implications: Newsrooms should strengthen verification by linking rule-based stories to relevant PP 28/2024 provisions, adding minimal context for numerical claims using official data, and diversifying expert sources to support evidence-based public understanding.

Abstract

Background: Digital disruption has changed the global broadcasting landscape, shifting radio from a rigid terrestrial medium to a more fluid multiplatform ecosystem. Although digital platforms dominate the attention economy, radio in Indonesia has shown unique resilience by combining legacy trust with digital network-based interaction. Purpose: This study aims to reformulate radio content distribution strategies and explain how radio management adapts to the logic of platformisation in the digital age. Methods: This research used a multi-site qualitative approach with case studies on three types of radio stations in Indonesia. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and reinforced with digital ethnography. Results: The results show that radio's sustainability is supported by three main pillars. First, algorithmic grooming, which is a radio strategy to tailor content to the logic of visual platform algorithms. Second, distributional decoupling, where radio identity no longer depends entirely on physical frequencies. Third, the utilization of radio as a ‘human infrastructure’ that builds emotional closeness and parasocial interaction with the audience. This study also found the important role of radio in regional areas as a backup information medium when digital networks are disrupted. Conclusion: This study concludes that the revival of radio has occurred through its transformation from a frequency provider to a flexible and adaptive ‘everywhere media’ entity. Implications: Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of media convergence theory by emphasizing that strategic fluidity, the ability to operate across digital and terrestrial boundaries, is key to radio's resilience in the digital age.

Abstract

Background: For several decades, Islam and Muslims have frequently been associated with terrorism in international media, including films, despite the fact that Islam neither teaches nor endorses acts of terrorism. Purpose: This article seeks to clarify that Islam is not a religion that endorses terrorism or terrorist acts. More specifically, it explores the brief history of terrorism, elucidates the Islamic perspective on terrorism, and argues that terrorist acts may arise, in part, from negative media labelling by powerful actors. Methods: This study employs a desk-based research method. Results: The findings suggest that terrorism frequently emerges from political, social, or economic repression. Although some acts of terrorism have been perpetrated by groups identifying with religious causes, terrorism is not prescribed by any religion. Islamic teachings, in particular, explicitly condemn terrorism. However, when certain Muslim groups are labelled as terrorists, their reactionary behavior may stem from negative labelling and perceived unjust treatment. Such groups are often portrayed as terrorists by international media, including films, in response to their harsh reactions despite experiencing various forms of oppression. Conclusion: Islam does not endorse terrorism; therefore, acts of terrorism should not be attributed to the teachings of Islam or to Muslims as a whole. Implications: International media and Western countries—particularly the United States—should reevaluate their policies and adopt more balanced approaches toward Muslim communities by examining the underlying factors that motivate some groups to resort to terrorist methods out of frustration or desperation.

Abstract

Background: The development of the internet has now shifted the function of radio as a mass media. However, radio still has loyal listeners, especially for content with more specific segmentation. This condition has encouraged radio stations to create new strategies by changing their names and broadcast formats to better suit their target audiences. One example is religious-themed broadcasts or religious radio. In a case study in West Java, the West Java Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID) found that, as of January 2025, there were 33 religious radio stations in the region. Purpose: This study aims to reveal the dynamics of religious radio in West Java from a political economy perspective. Methods: The researchers used qualitative methods to gather information through open discussions and direct interviews. Results: The findings show that there is a process of commodification in the form of commercialization of broadcasts and audiences, followed by a process of structuration marked by the restriction of women’s voices in radio broadcasts, exclusivity of content, and violations of formal regulations (the obligation to play the Indonesian national anthem, Indonesia Raya), to a process of spatialization as evidenced by the diversification of religious-themed products for media expansion. Conclusion: The above case study shows that religious radio exists not only as a community medium but also as a form of business, political, and social competition among capitalists. Implications: The results of this study provide a new comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of religious radio, from its presence as an information medium to its role as a vehicle for capitalist business.

Abstract

Background: This study is based on the emerging contradiction regarding trust in journalism studies. Initially, trust is the main source of legitimacy that cannot be negotiated for news media. In contrast, this has limited the media’s commercial operating space to sustain its organizational economics. The closest example is local media, which has been trying to strengthen trust to maintain its legitimacy. Purpose: This study analyzes how actors at Radio Suara Surabaya construct and negotiate trust through metajournalistic discourse, along with its implications for journalistic legitimacy and the organization’s economic sustainability. Methods: This research used a qualitative approach, employing a discursive case study design that positions Radio Suara Surabaya as a reflective case. Primary data were obtained through focus group discussions (FGDs) involving editorial and managerial actors, and supplemented by the organization’s historical documents and previous research. Results: For the actors, trust is built through a lengthy institutional process that serves as a moral compass for journalistic practices. However, trust also creates pressure from rising public expectations, and devising strategies to increase revenue within monetization limits could compromise trust. This is where the paradox lies: media legitimacy is obtained through trust, but it does not guarantee economic gains amid an increasingly platformized media ecosystem. Conclusion: This study introduces the concept of the “paradox of trust” to explain how trust can simultaneously serve as a source of legitimacy and a constraint on the monetization of local media. Implications: The findings of this study expand the research landscape on trust, showing that the sustainability of local media is also linked to the discourse on which values should be upheld and which changes are considered legitimate. Thus, it is not solely related to business and technology.

Abstract

Background: AI technology is one of the innovations currently receiving the most attention in the media industry. The integration of AI into online journalism has emerged as a transformative force. Purpose: This study aims to analyze AI in digital journalism practices at the online media Liputan6.com. It also identifies the changes in news production since the advent of AI, as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with the AI use in the news production process at online media. Methods: The method used in this study is qualitative with a case study design. A case study is chosen because the object of this study is a single media organization, Liputan6.com. There are three key informants, selected through purposive sampling, who serve as the subjects of the study. Results: The findings of this study indicated that the Liputan6.com editorial team uses AI for three main functions: first, to assist in news content production; second, to monitor topics or issues currently discussed by the public and their distribution; third, to serve as technological infrastructure within an integrated workflow. The main transformation lies not in a change in journalistic principles but in changes to the workflow and efficiency of news production. Conclusion: The entire process of validation, verification, and editorial decision making remains entirely in the hands of journalists. It further underscores that AI’s role at Liputan6.com is that of a supporting tool or assistant, not a replacement for journalistic work. Implications: Theoretically, these findings strengthen the argument of the theory of technological determinism that the presence of AI technology transforms workflows in newsrooms. Practically, these research findings encourage media organizations to develop internal policies on AI, journalism education institutions to integrate AI literacy into their curriculum, and policymakers to formulate adaptive regulations.

Abstract

Background: The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past few years has significantly changed the operation of newsrooms, which accelerates production and changes decision-making processes. Previous research has focused on the technology and/or organization features of AI with little attention on the reporters, especially local women journalists in Surabaya, where regional newspapers urgently need change. Purpose: The objective of this study is to examine how women journalists in Surabaya interpret and negotiate their professional roles within the framework of AI-driven media transformation using Media Feminism Theory. Methods: The current study used a qualitative critical ethnography study design. The data were collected by in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document review. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis with open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The results indicate four main themes, such as how AI is changing newsroom routines, how it is contributing to the efficiency of journalistic work, how it is shaping the visibility of women-related issues through the logic of algorithms, and how it is creating new professional pressures for women journalists. Even with the productivity gains that AI can offer, participants stressed that editorial judgment, ethical vetting and professional autonomy are still vital. The results also suggest that algorithmic editorial practices might amplify gender inequalities. Conclusion: A media feminist perspective still has relevance to understanding the dynamics of the contemporary digital media industry, especially as algorithms play a greater role in deciding which issues matter and deserve public attention. Implications: The study contributes to Media Feminism Theory by showing how AI’s transformation of newsrooms intersects with already existing gender structures, and gives recommendations for how to make AI more gender-sensitive.

Abstract

Background: Digital media has changed the practice of investigative journalism significantly, particularly in exposing corruption by public officers. Digital platforms have been built to enhance access to information and to involve the public. Purpose: The objective of this study is to examine the role of digital investigative journalism in exposing corruption from the perspective of digital media, public pressure and institutional accountability. Methods: This research employs qualitative method through literature study and instrumental case study in corruption case of Rafael Alun Trisambodo. The data were collected by analysis of documents of scientific literature, research reports and digital media sources. Results: The results of this study show that digital investigative journalism can accelerate the accumulation of evidence and improve the capability to set the agenda in the construction of public discourse. The intersection of open source intelligence, AI and big data facilitates journalists to better find obscure patterns and networks, while crowd-based investigations offer citizens a better chance to find corruption. We can observe that, in the analyzed cases, digital media also play an important role in the transformation of social events into opportunities for uncovering corruption. Misinformation, cyber attacks, issues of ethics, and gaps in online literacy can have dire consequences for the credibility of the research process. Conclusion: The case of Rafael Alun Trisambodo shows the power of investigative journalism, social media activism and public demand in the digital era to reveal corruption. The results demonstrate how digital media can transform non-corruption events into an opportunity to expose corruption and institutional accountability. Implications: Investigative journalism has improved transparency, accountability, and democratic oversight. It additionally emphasizes the need for ethical standards, mechanisms for verification and improved online literacy which are critical to the sustainability and reliability of digital research practices.
