My thoughts on the current media landscape…

I was part of our campus publication when I was in high school. My forte was news writing and I joined numerous press conferences. From then on, I wanted to pursue Journalism but that changed when one day, I saw that the newspaper we worked hard for was being thrown in the trash bin by some students. Of course, I approached them and asked the reason why they were just throwing the campus' paper. "Reading is boring and my bag is too small for me to carry this newspaper. I'd rather browse through twitter", is what they said. On that moment, I was discouraged to continue news writing. I thought that I would not be able to find a good-paying job in this field since people prefers social media over the traditional news paper for getting news and updates.

Several years passed, the traditional media such as newspaper and radio broadcasting are now slowly being replaced by social media platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok. I have now realized what those students mean back then when they said that they preferred Twitter since the news and updates can already easily be accessed through your phone and there's no need to buy newspaper or stay tuned in the radio just to hear the recent news and updates of the country. You can check it anytime and anywhere. I am also now a fan of the new media. However, a few hours ago, while I was scrolling in my Facebook newsfeed, I saw a post where in it says to view their "My Day" as they have some good news. Being the curious person that I am, I clicked and a very disturbing content flashed through my screen. It was porn. These posts are trending right now and Facebook still hasn't filtered these out. I can't believe there is such a thing on a famous platform where all ages can freely explore!

This is the scary thing about the new media we have now. There is no way to filter everything immediately whether it is fake news or pornography. As we transition to the digital world where almost everything can already be done online through your phone, everybody has access to these social media platforms including innocent children that may be exposed to dangerous content and this sometimes goes undetected by their parents. These instances make me miss the times where people choose traditional media. Unlike the pages that are providing fake news, traditional media such as newspaper has a lot to go through in order to make sure that there are no errors and inaccuracy in the article through the use of proofreading and copywriting. I believe that new media still cannot beat traditional media in terms of accuracy and inclusivity as not everybody has phones or knows how to use phones and not everyone is aware of how to distinguish fake and factual content.

Words of Wisdom

“The self-image of a stable identity that many of us have is really just a comforting self-delusion... We don’t really have an identity because the word identity implies that we consist of one, singular self, but in fact we are multiple and fragmented, consisting at any moment of any number of conflicting beliefs, desires, fears, anxieties, and intentions. However, as we grow up, we internalize through language the ideological conflicts and contradictions of our culture, each finding a way to ‘fit in’ by finding a way to deny, both to ourselves and others, the fragmented experience of ourselves produced by the fragmented ambiguous language within which we live... if we’ve invented our ‘identity,’ then we can reinvent it.”

     -Professor Lois Tyson on Poststructuralism and the Human Identity in                  Critical Theory Today, 3rd ed.

Notes

Today was a beautiful day. It was one of the first moments that I have felt truly hopeful for the future and at peace with myself. This joy lead me to catch up on all of my french homework and begin to prepare for my second unit test. Although I did not finish everything on my to-do list (i.e. beginning to study for my upcoming journalism and literature exams or finalizing my news story production sheet), I am proud. I am treating myself to a spooky movie night- Hocus Pocus and Beetlegeuse- and dinner. Be kind to yourselves, kids.

Tanpa Inovasi, Media Online Akan Bernasib Sama dengan Media Cetak: Ditinggalkan

Yogyakarta - Engelbertus Wendratama dan Agung Purwandono menjelaskan tantangan yang dihadapi media online dalam Workshop Jurnalisme Online di PKKH UGM, Sabtu (29/9) lalu. Kemunculan media online yang kini semakin banyak dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat sesungguhnya tidak terlepas dari tantangan. Kesalahan umum yang terjadi di Indonesia, media cetak yg membangun media online hanya memindahkan konten dari cetak ke website. Padahal itu semua harus disesuaikan dgn perilaku pembaca. "Tanpa inovasi, media online juga akan tutup." Ungkap Agung. Konten media online berbeda dgn media cetak. Dari panjang artikel, lampiran seperti video, sampai infografik. Prinsip jurnalisme juga harus tetap dipertahankan, terutama fairness.
