Abstract

Hate speech emerges in the digital media environment alongside of the freedom to speech. People have tendencies to write news articles without checking the accuracy of facts. The digital media manipulation to spread false news or hoaxes has an impact on the emergence of hostilities and the collapse of tolerance. This study aims to get the model of citizen journalism writing in digital media to overcome fake information. The research data is e-mails sent by Harian Surya readers to Citizen Reporter section from January to March 2018. A report writing must be transparent based on nine elements of journalism by Bill Kovach. The research result is media literacy development model to produce transparent reportages. The authors were also able to construct positive contents in reportage writing. Hence, that writing model is important to be developed so that public is accustomed to write reportage based on data, facts and events.
