Abstract

In reporting on the tsunami that occurred in the Sunda Strait in 2018, journalists faced changing information from government agencies that have authority in the field of disaster. Unequal and changing information has created new challenges in the practice of disaster journalism in Indonesia. This is especially true in upholding the principle of accuracy in reporting and speed in presenting information for disaster mitigation. This study seeks to find out how journalism practices at KompasTV, CNN Indonesia, MetroTV, and Trans7 in the news production process to how journalists choose news sources when in a disaster situation, especially when a tsunami occurs in the Sunda Strait. This study finds that the four leading mass media in Indonesia prioritize aspects of verifying disaster information, enforcing a journalistic code of ethics, and the competence of journalists in disaster coverage. Journalists trust and use information sourced from government agencies that have disaster authority and other mass media. Journalists avoid and do not use the information available on social media because the accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed.
