Representing social action in Indonesian: A case of Indonesian presidential race

A large body of research on social action representation revolves around how social actors are discursively represented in a variety of media; nevertheless, very few discourse studies have investigated the Indonesian news media portrayal of an Indonesian politician in a number of social events. This research sought to fill in this gap by examining the representation of a prominent Indonesian political figure, i.e. Prabowo Subianto from the lens of two mainstream online Indonesia news media, i.e. Kompas and Republika. More specifically, the prime focus is on outlining types of social action and their grammatical and rhetorical realization in Indonesian discourse. Leeuwen’s (2005; 2008) social semiotics was adopted as the framework of analysis. Ten online news reports—five from each media—focusing on Prabowo were purposively selected on the basis of five key political incidents where Prabowo was engaged. Comparison of two media in their reporting of the events is of special interest, for the representation of the same individual in his socio-political actions can be more apparent and hence media tendencies can be easily identified. Findings reveal that both media have non-neutral, partial tendencies. Their language products entail sympathy and defense of Prabowo, albeit the journalistic code of ethics. More specifically, Republika tends to side with Prabowo’s campaign; while Kompas tends to oppose it. In the form of values, orientation, and tendencies, both media have an ideological tendency to defend or to offend the subject, Prabowo, as is clearly reflected through the distinctive discursive strategies they choose. Implicationally, these results corroborate the long-standing premise that media’s values or ideological stances to a certain extent appear to be a factor in portraying an individual and his/her action in the society, which in turn may influence public perceptions.

The introduction of big data techniques has given rise to data journalism that presumes a new challenge in this sense. The main objective of the study is to analyze the existence of deontological guidelines on journalism and big data in Latin America, geographical area that has not been studied in that respect until now. To do so, content analysis was the methodology applied to a selection of 18 ethical codes adopted by associations of journalists in 18 countries to check if they comply with the principles established by authors such as Bradshaw, Ward, Singer, Dorr and Hollnbuchner, who adapt journalistic deontology to the specific context of big data. The results show the codes are poorly adapted to the ethical principles related to data verification. Instead, they are in line with what is considered to be a journalistic target (objectivity, honesty and public service) in the context of data journalism. It is also observed that, in general, the best adapted codes are those that have been approved or modified in recent years, such as the ones in Uruguay, Colombia and Chile, among others. It is concluded that it would be advisable to review the oldest codes and write specific codes or recommendations referring to big data, in addition to updating the supranational code of reference in Latin America: the Latin American Code of Journalistic Ethics, which dates from 1979.

New challenges for an enduring code of journalistic ethics: the news media business model in the face of ethical standards and citizen participation

Technological advances have modified news media practices, introduced alternative formats for conveying information, and are transforming journalistic messages. However, the essential principles governing journalistic practice, those which the ethical codes support and enshrine, remain unaltered. The media outlets and journalists are not unaware of the necessary adaptations to their working lives which this situation demands, but editors and managers find it difficult to accept, and therefore incorporate, those emerging trends which would permit a real improvement in the quality of the products they create and offer to society: firstly, the introduction of ethical standards (ISO standards, ethics seals) into production, and secondly, the channelling of citizens’ active participation in the reporting process (transmedia storytelling, social media). These are only being assimilated slowly and ineffectively. The media sector business model has to embrace and integrate both these realities into its organization and production system in order to survive and truly fulfil its public service mission.

Truth and the Unnamed Source

Many writers on the topic of the ‘reporter’s privilege’ (ie where journalists claim the right not to reveal the identity of sources left unnamed in their articles) have portrayed the issue as simply a conflict between press freedom, and the right of courts to hear everyman’s testimony. So when a cause celebre occurs in which the identity of an unnamed source is sought (such as the Canadian case of R v National Post and Financial Times v United Kingdom (the ‘Interbrew case’) which are featured in this article) there is a tendency amongst the press to circle their wagons and defend the threatened journalist, arguing that the ‘reporter’s privilege’ is an absolute and primary tenet of journalistic codes of ethics.4 This is not only unconvincing but, as this paper will show, wrong. It fails to appreciate the potential conflict that adherence to protection of anonymous sources has with a principle which seems even more fundamental and is a universal value in media codes of ethics and conduct—namely, the need to report the truth.

Journalism ethics and climate change reporting in a period of intense media uncertainty

The best editors and reporters in the USA adhere to a well-defined, if somewhat abstract, code of journalistic ethics, but doing so during a time of revolutionary changes in the mainstream media—and during a severe financial crisis nationally and globally—presents peculiar challenges. How those challenges may affect the coverage of global climate change presents its own set of questions, and the outcome for journalism ethics is as unpredictable as it is for climate change policies and for journalism itself. This article raises issues that will have to be sorted out over time if the public is to be kept well informed about the challenges, risks, and opportunities posed by climate change.
