Publication Search

This research examines the range of phrase types appearing in Kompas.com news articles published in the “Jagat Literasi” section during the August–September 2025 period. It seeks to identify and categorize various phrase structures, such as nominal, verbal, adjectival, prepositional, pronominal, numeral, and adverbial phrases, found within the selected articles. In addition to classification, the study provides a qualitative explanation of the structural characteristics, functions, and usage tendencies of the most frequently occurring phrase types in the corpus. Employing a qualitative research design, this study relies on textual data as its primary source, generating descriptive findings derived from careful observation and analysis of written materials. All identified phrases are interpreted and systematically described to offer a comprehensive understanding of how they function in digital news discourse. The findings highlight the dominance and distribution of several phrase categories and reveal patterns that characterize language use in literacy-themed journalism. Academically, this study contributes to syntactic research by offering a reference for further investigations on phrase usage in online media and by enabling comparative analysis across different platforms or sections. Practically, it enhances readers’ and students’ awareness of effective, precise, and stylistically appropriate language use, supporting improved writing practices aligned with established linguistic conventions.

This research is driven by the urgency of maintaining the quality of the Indonesian language in the realm of online journalism, particularly on major media platforms such as CNN Indonesia. Online media plays a central role as the primary source of information, but the speed of publication often encounters linguistic errors that have the potential to damage credibility and lead to misinterpretation among readers. The focus of the study on syntactic errors is crucial because errors in sentence structure, diction, and conjunctions directly affect the meaning and effectiveness of communication. This study aims to analyze and describe the forms of syntactic errors (including sentence pattern errors, non-standard diction, and conjunction redundancy) and offer recommendations for improvement based on standard Indonesian language rules. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with a syntactic approach. Data in the form of linguistic units at the phrase, clause, and sentence levels from all CNN Indonesia news texts for the period of August 2025, collected using the Listen and Note Technique. The findings are anticipated to show a dominance of sentence ineffectiveness, incorrect use of conjunctions, and temporally illogical diction errors. This research is expected to contribute as a practical guide for editors and news writers to improve the quality of editing, while also supporting literacy efforts and the use of good and correct Indonesian in the digital public space.

Content commodification has become a dominant phenomenon within Indonesia’s digital ecosystem, where communication messages are no longer oriented toward use value such as education and enlightenment, but toward exchange value determined by algorithms, virality, and monetization potential. This transformation is evident in the behavior of content creators, online media, politicians, and government institutions that adjust their message formats to align with the logic of platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Political content during the 2024 Election, clickbait practices in online journalism, and the aestheticization of public campaigns such as Bangga Buatan Indonesia(BBI) and Gerakan Kamis Pakai Lokal (GASPOL) demonstrate that content today is produced primarily to capture attention rather than to strengthen social literacy. Using a constructivist paradigm and a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes how exchange value dominates meaning-making processes in digital spaces. Through the lenses of media political economy, cultural industries, and surveillance capitalism, the study shows that content commodification shifts the function of communication from a deliberative public sphere to a commercial arena governed by algorithms. These findings highlight the urgent need for digital literacy and communication ethics to safeguard the social role of media in Indonesia.

This study examines the integrity of general elections through the lens of prophetic journalism. A qualitative approach was employed to explore the perspectives and experiences of institutional administrators, community leaders, and local residents regarding electoral integrity grounded in prophetic journalism. This approach emphasizes the importance of relationships among various actors in the public policy process, including government institutions, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. The research was conducted at the East Java Provincial General Election Commission (KPU), with data collected directly by the researcher through observation of words and actions. Data collection was carried out holistically and integratively, focusing on relevance to the study objectives. Data analysis involved systematically searching, organizing, and processing all interview transcripts while ensuring validity through careful verification procedures. The results indicate that electoral integrity can be maintained effectively through a combination of deliberative democracy and prophetic journalism. In this context, the media functions not only as an information distributor but also as a moral agent ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness throughout the electoral process. Campaigns to validate and counter hoax news during elections are most effective when prophetic journalism is integrated with agenda-setting theory, allowing the media to shape public perception through information filtering, digital literacy education, and the delivery of objective and ethical reporting. Prophetic journalism also serves as a social control mechanism, reinforcing transparency and oversight by combining the press’s watchdog function with principles of honesty, responsibility, and wisdom, preventing electoral manipulation and safeguarding democratic integrity.

Indonesia is one of the countries with a high rate of hoax news dissemination in the world, particularly through social media, which has a wide reach and high speed of information distribution. This phenomenon poses serious challenges to information literacy and the quality of democracy, requiring collective efforts to address it. One emerging initiative is citizen journalism conducted through the Instagram account TurnBackHoax.id, managed by the Indonesian Anti-Slander Society (MAFINDO). This study aims to identify the elements of citizen journalism developed by this account in preventing the spread of hoax news. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with the primary data source being posts on the TurnBackHoax.id Instagram account. Data were analyzed to uncover the roles, processes, and strategies used by the account managers. The results show that the account managers are ordinary citizens who are members of MAFINDO, not professional journalists, but have received training in identifying and verifying suspected hoax information. They utilize reports from the public, source tracing, and digital verification techniques to determine the authenticity of news. The TurnBackHoax.id account actively publishes its findings on social media, complete with explanations and evidence to confirm whether information is factual or hoax. Research findings indicate that identified hoaxes cover a wide range of areas, including social, cultural, political, and economic issues. This activity reflects the practice of citizen journalism, which positions the public as active subjects in the production and distribution of accurate information. In conclusion, TurnBackHoax.id plays a significant role in building a healthy information ecosystem in Indonesia. This initiative demonstrates that active citizen participation in journalism can be an effective strategy to reduce the spread of hoaxes, improve digital literacy, and strengthen community resilience to disinformation.

Online media play a significant role in shaping public perception through framing processes, particularly on sensitive social issues such as protests. This study aims to analyze and compare how two Indonesian online news platforms, Kompas.com and Indozone.id, framed the student protest at Dongduk Women’s University in South Korea. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing model, which includes four elements: defining problems, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments, and suggesting remedies. The data were derived from two news articles published in November 2024. The findings reveal that Kompas.com applied a more critical and comprehensive framing approach, emphasizing social context, historical cases of sexual harassment, and the importance of safe spaces for women. In contrast, Indozone.id focused on the virality aspect, providing minimal analysis and omitting moral and solution-oriented framing. These differences reflect the editorial orientation of each platform and highlight the need for media literacy in an era dominated by algorithm-driven journalism. The study underscores how media framing influences public understanding of gender justice and women's education issues.

Adapting to rapidly evolving technology and honing digital literacy is a necessity for students at SMAN 1 Samaturu to ensure they do not fall behind in an increasingly digital world. However, the challenge lies in the lack of digital journalism literacy programs, despite the significant potential of this field to enhance general literacy and provide practical skills for students. The limited availability of journalism training, such as writing articles, conducting interviews, and managing school media, reduces students' opportunities to learn in this area. To address this, a digital journalism training was held on August 13, 2024, with 50 students participating. The activity included planning, training, and evaluation stages. As a result, students were able to recognize their potential in journalism. They not only learned to write and edit articles but also developed the ability to understand, analyze, and process information critically. They became more sensitive to accurate information sources, understood good narrative structures, and improved their communication skills, thus enhancing their digital literacy.

To This training service tries to solve the challenge of how students can read, watch, and write in a fun, pressure-free way, and are able to express their thoughts in the form of writing and content. The purpose of the Socialization is to provide an understanding to grade IX students about Efforts to Improve Science Literacy of SMPN 2 Narmada Students Through Early Journalism Training. This service activity was carried out at SMPN 2 Narmada, Sesaot Village, Narmada District, West Lombok Regency on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 which was attended by ninth grade students of SMPN 2 NARMADA totaling 90 people as the target of service with planning, implementation and evaluation methods. From the results of this service, students' knowledge before and after the socialization shows a difference, from the beginning the students did not know what Literacy and Journalism were, so it can be concluded that this socialization can be said to be successful because it has achieved its goals
