Abstract

The shift in communication patterns from one-way to participatory encourages audiences to no longer act as passive consumers, but rather to take on a role as information producers. One example of this is the Netizen Photo PRFM Facebook group, which serves as a platform for citizens to engage in citizen journalism practices. This study focuses on the participatory functions of citizen journalism practices in the Netizen Photo PRFM Facebook group. The researcher sought to gain a deeper understanding of these participatory functions by applying qualitative methods using a case study approach. The purpose of the study was to explore the functions and forms of participation in citizen journalism practices found within this Facebook group. Research data were collected through interviews with 7 (seven) members and 1 (one) administrator of the Facebook group. The interviews were conducted to obtain more in-depth data and to validate the information the researcher gathered during the observation period. The results show that Facebook group members make the most of the group to engage in citizen journalism. Organically, the forms of participation carried out by group members include commentary, filtering and editing, fact-checking, grassroots reporting, annotative reporting, open-source reporting and peer review, audio/video broadcasting, and knowledge management. Cross-platform migration was also identified as a solution adopted by citizens to address the lack of knowledge management features on Facebook. In conclusion, citizen journalism participation in the Netizen Photo PRFM Facebook group is dynamic and serves not merely as a place to vent, but as a citizen advocacy movement.
