Summary
Isu keberagaman merupakan persoalan penting untuk dikaji. Kondisi masyarakat Indonesia yang multikultur membutuhkan situasi yang kondusif agar terjadi harmoni dalam kehidupan bersama. Berdasarkan penelitian Loisa, Susanto, Junaidi, Loekman (2019) mengenai isu keberagaman dalam pemberitaan media siber menunjukkan, kurangnya indepedensi media dalam memberitakan isu keberagaman dengan lebih banyak mengutip narasumber utama dari sisi aparat pemerintah untuk menghidari risiko menimbulkan kericuhan. Dinamika relasi media dan aparat pemerintah dalam pemberitaan isu keberagaman pada masa lalu lebih didasarkan pada kekuasaan, sementara kini disebabkan alasan kepentingan mendesak,akurasi dan pengelolaan resiko (Loisa, Susanto, Junaidi, Loekman, 2019). Dari penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya, dapat dikatakan penelitian kali ini memiliki kemajuan karena memilih media siber yang merupakan media hasil konvergensi televisi dan internet yakni Liputan6.com. Dengan demikian tidak hanya pandangan dan pengalaman para jurnalis menganai isu keberagaman yang akan tergali oleh penelitian ini, tapi juga dari sisi kebijakan redaksi baik yang tertulis maupun tak tertulis
