Only Churnalists — Not Journalists — will Get Replaced by Robots
Of all jobs, there are 8 that digital media futurist Amy Webb predicted would eventually vanish at some point in the future: toll booth operators and cashiers, marketers, customers, factory workers, financial middle men, journalists, lawyers, and phone workers. I frowned and continued reading on. This might be a joke. Utter disbelief. Webb argued journalists… Continue reading

Jika Menulis Jadi Otomatis (Tren Robot Penulis Berita)
Berhati-hatilah dengan impian dan harapan Anda. Begitu kata pepatah dari negeri China. Jika Anda bekerja sebagai pewarta, dan Anda pernah mengeluhkan betapa beratnya beban kerja Anda selama ini (misalnya karena harus turun ke lapangan, mengejar narasumber, menjalani piket/ shift malam dan dini hari yang membuat jam tidur kacau balau) dan ingin proses membuat berita menjadi… Continue reading

Belajar Jurnalistik dari SpongeBob
Dibandingkan serial kartun Barat lainnya, saya suka SpongeBob Squarepants, makhluk rekaan berwarna kuning yang bentuknya mirip spon cuci piring kita. Serial The Simpsons sebenarnya juga menarik dan guyonan serta satirnya sangat menohok dan cerdas. Pada kenyataannya, bagi saya The Simpsons dan SpongeBob sama menariknya karena buktinya diputar berulang kali pun kita tak akan bosan (bahkan… Continue reading

Jurnalisme ‘Positif’ vs Jurnalisme Investigatif
Sekitar setahun yang lalu, saya berkesempatan menghadiri sebuah seminar yang digelar IFC (International Finance Corporation) dan sempat ada pertentangan antara para jurnalis yang ada di dalamnya. Salah satunya ialah karena satu orang pembicara di depan mengatakan pihaknya hanya akan mendukung publikasi berita yang “positif”, sementara untuk publikasi berita yang bersifat investigatif, mereka tidak akan mempublikasikannya.… Continue reading

If You Hate Someone Else’s News, Write Your Own!
Yes, you read it right. And there I said it. I recall a seasoned foreign journalist commented when asked about his opinion on citizen journalism,”If someone doesn’t like what he reads, then he should write his own for himself to read.” So I did.

Kiat Tentukan Format Cerita dalam Tulisan
Menemukan sebuah bahan berita yang menarik di mata pembaca dan ‘menjual’ di mata pengiklan adalah satu kerja keras tersendiri. Ada sebuah keseimbangan yang harus dicapai di sini: keseimbangan antara aspek jurnalisme dan sisi komersialisme. Jurnalis perlu memegang teguh nilai-nilai idealisnya sembari tetap memburu nafkah dengan memberikan berita-berita yang ‘menjual’ bagi medianya. Setelah hal itu tercapai,… Continue reading

Who are Journalists?
“A journalist is a person without any ideas but with an ability to express them; a writer whose skill is improved by a deadline: the more time he has, the worse he writes.”-Karl Kraus I’m actually a journalist, too. I sometimes interview people, take their pictures with or without their knowledge and write some news… Continue reading
