PENERAPAN PROPHETIC JOURNALISM DALAM LIPUTAN TRAGEDI KANJURUHAN OLEH MEDIA ONLINE TEMPO.CO DAN RMOL.ID

Abstract

The Kanjuruhan tragedy was a violent incident at a football stadium in Malang on October 1, 2022, which left 135 people dead. The incident attracted international attention and was covered by various media, including Tempo.co and RMOL.id. The purpose of this study is to understand how the two media packaged news about the Kanjuruhan tragedy on October 1-6, 2022 and to what extent they applied the principles of prophetic journalism. This research uses a qualitative approach with the framing model of Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. The results showed differences in the framing approach between Tempo.co and RMOL.id in October 2022. Tempo.co tended to choose a variety of sources, including football supporters, security forces, the organizing committee, and the local government. On the other hand, RMOL.id focused more on responses from parties not involved in the event. Although both have applied journalistic principles in general, Tempo.co tends to be more balanced and applies more prophetic journalism principles in its coverage.
