Abstract

Many scholars have conducted studies on the accuracy of the news media, such as newspaper, television, and magazine, but not online media. In fact, online media is a significant news media in the moment, especially in Indonesia. Online press companies are even the largest press companies in Indonesia compared to newspapers, radio, and television. Therefore, this study is conducted to measure the inaccuracies that occur in news in online news media. Researchers examined 63 online journalistic media that have been administratively and factually verified by the ‘Dewan Pers’ (Press Council). It uses a content analysis method by coding the headlines in Indonesian online journalistic media. This study finds online mass media categories based on the theme segmentation, namely: 1) general, 2) economics, technology, and business, 3) sports, 4) politics, law, and crime, 5) lifestyle and entertainment, and 6) regional. The results of this study indicate that the inaccuracy of news in Indonesian online media is high. Media with economics, technology, and business most often make grammatical errors. This study also finds that speed does not only has an impact on grammatical inaccuracies, but also on unbalanced news reporting, where the imbalance in Indonesian online media news itself is very high.

印尼网络新闻的不准确性

许多学者对新闻媒体的准确性进行了研究，如报纸、电视和杂志，但没有对网络媒体进行研究。事实上，网络媒体目前是一种重要的新闻媒体，尤其是在印度尼西亚。与报纸、广播和电视相比，在线新闻公司甚至是印尼最大的新闻公司。因此，本研究旨在衡量网络新闻媒体中出现的新闻不准确度。研究人员调查了63家经“Dewan Pers”（新闻委员会）行政和事实验证的在线新闻媒体。它使用了一种内容分析方法，对印尼在线新闻媒体的标题进行编码。本研究基于主题细分发现了网络大众媒体类别，即：1）一般，2）经济、技术和商业，3）体育，4）政治、法律和犯罪，5）生活方式和娱乐，以及6）区域。这项研究的结果表明，印尼网络媒体的新闻不准确率很高。掌握经济、技术和商业的媒体往往会犯语法错误。这项研究还发现，速度不仅会影响语法不准确，还会影响不平衡的新闻报道，印尼网络媒体新闻本身的不平衡程度非常高。
