Abstract

Media management is a key element in the organization of mass media. Media management also maintains a balance between the dual functions of the media, as a news-business and as a social institution. The media is required to be able to become a source of livelihood for all its workers and bring profits to its investors. At the same time, the media is also required to be able to produce journalistic products that are informative and educative for the public. Of course, this becomes a unique obstacle, especially when the world enters the pandemic situation with economic recession as its characteristic. Media management policy makers are required to be able to bring the mass media to survive and compete in an increasingly challenging economic crisis. This study aims to gain understanding into the personal experiences of media industry managers about what they define as challenges and threats in the pandemic era and how resilient they are to these issues. There are two online media that are become the subject of research, namely ANTARA and Suara Muslim. Researchers conducted interviews with two decision makers in media management. Even though they are internet-based, both media have their own characteristics. ANTARA is a news agency whose funding is partially supported by the state through a public service obligation (PSO). Meanwhile, Suara Muslim is a private radio, which is fully funded by investors and advertisers. These differences make the understanding and perspective on the issue of information disruption, opportunities and challenges, and media resilience different between Suara Muslim and Antara News.
