Abstract
This study aims to discuss and explain the challenges of the journalists in Lombok, Indonesia, in covering the international motorcycle racing World Superbike (WSBK). This study uses the case study method to find out what are the challenges that journalists have in covering WSBK. This study also explores how journalists deal with the challenges they face. The researchers conducted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to collect the data. The participants of this research consisted of journalists of Suara NTB, Lombok Post, IDNTimes, and Kompas.id who focused on covering WSBK. This study found that the challenges faced by journalists were the lack of language skills for coverage of international activities, lack of legal insight, environmental insight, and the changes in routine coverage. In addition, journalists face this challenge by taking the initiative to create language course classes, collaborate with legal experts and legal aid agencies, and collaborate with environmental experts; while routine problems are handled by expanding access to information and office transportation operations.
