Abstract

Since March 11, 2020, COVID-19 has been declared as a global pandemic. The case of the COVID-19 has become the major topic of the media around the world because it didn’t only threaten human life, it also gave negative impacts on various sectors. Many kinds of news about COVID-19, which its context started from information about the disease until it is been associated with politics and economics, have been published every day, especially in this globalization era, where information can be instantly accessed. The news about COVID-19 became overflow, at the point, various interests lead media for not being objective. While generating the news, journalists are expected to make the news objectively as it is the most important condition in journalism. Objectivity aims at presenting the real situation of some reporting events based on fact, relevance, and neutrality, which became the main factors of objective news. At the same time, it is been known that media have the power to construct social reality depending on how they created the news. This research used quantitative content analysis and was conducted in six phases from January 30th until March 15, 2020. The purpose of this research was to explain the comparative objectivity of two main online news in Indonesia (namely, detik.com and kompas.com.) on reporting COVID-19.

Detik.com与Kompas.com对新冠肺炎网络新闻内容客观性的比较分析

自2020年3月11日起，COVID-19被宣布为全球大流行。新冠肺炎疫情成为全球媒体关注的焦点，因为它不仅威胁到人类的生命，也给各行各业带来了负面影响。特别是在信息可以即时获取的全球化时代，每天都有各种各样的新冠肺炎新闻，其背景从疾病信息开始，直到与政治、经济联系起来。关于COVID-19的新闻铺天盖地，各种利益导致媒体不客观。新闻工作者在生产新闻的同时，客观地报道新闻是新闻工作中最重要的条件。客观性的目的是在事实、相关性和中立性的基础上呈现一些报道事件的真实情况，这成为客观新闻的主要因素。与此同时，众所周知，媒体有能力构建社会现实，这取决于他们如何创造新闻。本研究采用定量内容分析，从2020年1月30日至3月15日分六个阶段进行。本研究的目的是解释印度尼西亚两家主要在线新闻(即detik.com和kompas.com)报道COVID-19的比较客观性。
