Abstract

The lack of a clear definition of radicalism leads Islamic organisations to feel entitled to interpret it. It results in contention for the meaning of radicalism and forms a different reality for each reader. By taking a case study on two spectra of Islamic organisations, moderate Islamic organisation (NU Online) and Islamic extremist organisation (Portal Islam), this study aims to understand the construction of radicalism in two Islamic news portals. We utilised a dataset of news about radicalism from September 2018-2019 and analysed it using a combination of corpus linguistic (CL) and critical discourse analysis (CDA). While CL helped to reveal emerging discourses, CDA intended to observe the patterns and relate them into socio-political contexts critically. The results indicate that each site was blurring the information function of news portals into a propaganda function. They also generate fragmented knowledge, which leads to a misrepresentation of paradigm towards radicalism. This leads to discriminatory actions against other groups. The meaning of radicalism in the media may encourage group dichotomy, which is counterproductive to countering terrorism in Indonesia. This study contributes to a comprehension of the terrorism phenomenon by providing a closer view of how moderate and extreme Islamic organisations interpret radicalism.

Abstract

The distribution of news and information about Covid-19 occurred amid a pandemic. It certainly creates a panic impact on some people, especially those who do not have adequate media literacy skills. This panic leads to uncontrolled behavior and unfiltered acceptance of information. This study seeks to investigate how the West Java Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID) Role in Preventing Citizen Panic Regarding News and Information Regarding Covid-19.

This research uses qualitative methods with case study research, with data collection techniques carried out through interviews, literature study, and observation.

Abstract

Many of the global mass media tend to deliver a particular news frame in a terrorism case, especially linkage terrorism with certain religions, races, at so on. The global mass media is influenced by Western media. The news frame will be different from the news agency level. This article aims to discuss news frame by the national news agencies in New Zealand (TVNZ) and Sri Lanka (news. lk) in a terrorism case, using the Robert N. Entman frame model. The result shows TVNZ defines the problem as an unprecedented action and creates a dark history in the country, the cause of the problem is terrorists from outside New Zealand, moral judgments in the form of evidence that New Zealand society remains united, the victims are also part of the New Zealand family regardless of their background, so the recommended resolution of the problem is that the government guarantees the safety of Muslim communities. Differently, news.lk defines the problem as the motive of the attack as revenge with religious sentiment. Meanwhile, the security forces are not aware of the threat, that define the cause of the problem as the perpetrator is an organized group and an indication of religious sentiment. This media makes moral judgments by revealing the fact that Muslims not guilty, the government facilitates representatives of the religious community in Sri Lanka to express their opinions to find solutions for reconciliation and maintaining peace. The recommended resolution is that the government is ready to fight terrorism without foreign intervention, improve the performance of the security forces, and reveal the active role of the different Sri Lankan people's ethnicity and religion.

Abstract

Podcast becomes one of the digital media close with urban youth. People listen to it when they are on their way, doing an assignment, and spending leisure time. As new media content developing nowadays, there is only a little research on podcasts in Indonesia. Research results on podcasts released by the media, research agencies, and streaming platform companies discuss majorly on volume, profile, and access habit of audience. Nevertheless, there is no research investigating the youth's reason for choosing podcasts compared to other media. Hence, this research aimed to identify and present the motivation underlying the urban youth preference on podcasts. This research framework was compiled based on the typology of digital media motivation in uses and gratifications theory, namely educating entertainment or edutainment, storytelling, social, and multi-tasking. This research employed a quantitative and positivist paradigm approach. The research respondents were college students who were still accessing podcasts in the last three months. Eventually, the research result identified a significant effect among four types of motivation for using podcasts. In addition, this research result also proved that the typology model of motivation for using new media could explain the reasons underlying the urban youth in using podcasts. Reviewing the close correlation between the urban youth and podcasts, this research also identified the potential of using podcasts in the education realm.

Abstract

Kumparan.com combines technology and innovation into the media by implementing technology-based journalism so that the news presented in Kumparan are not only written by Kumparan authors but also by users, readers, institutions and other stakeholders after being moderated by kumparan editors. This is what they call collaborative news. In collaborative news, Kumparan accepts articles from many people (User Generated Content) to fulfill its daily news production without having to hire and pay their wages, on the other hand, this makes Kumparan in the Top 10 Online Media Rankings on various surveys and research because of the amount of news and information coverage. When analyzed using Vincent Mosco's political economy perspective, the collaborative news format can be categorized as a practice of commodification, efforts made by the media to change everything in order to generate profits. This study uses a qualitative approach with research and interview methods to determine whether collaborative news is a practice of commodification carried out by Kumparan. The results of the study found that collaborative news contains elements of content/content and audience/audience commodification, where Kumparan innovates in news production by utilizing the audience without paying. Kumparan benefits materially from the presence of diverse content that increases traffic as an online medium without having to employ "users" as journalists and without paying for every news published.
