Viable Method

Hip-hop remains a viable method for the teaching of radical theory, emancipatory journalism and Africana Media Theory.  Fight Club is an emergent model that builds from existing hip-hop traditions of freetyle battling where critical thought and intellectual challenges of hueristic norms are upended.  This article argues in favor of bringing the Fight Club model into the classroom which allows for heightened student engagement and the inclusion of radical theoretical approaches to the study of mass media, communication and journalism.

The Relationship

Independent mass media are an important part of democracy. Their task is to control whether democratic principles are truly fulfilled in society. Furthermore, their responsibility is to inform the public about important political and socio-political issues. Mass media provide the platform for bigger citizen participation but also for fun and education. The aim of this article is to characterize the functions of mass media in modern democracies according to two types of sources – ones from scholars which focus on the relationship between mass media and democracy and others from scholars that focus on mass media theory and relationship of mass media with percipients. By the method of analysis it was concluded that the most important function of mass media in both types of sources was to provide information. However, other functions appear in a number of publications as well, e.g., mass media as a watchdog or as a platform to exchange opinions and ideas.

The Right

Freedom of the press is one thing that is a journalist's right which is regulated in Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 40 of 1999 concerning the Press to weigh the rights obtained by members to carry out their duties as a connector between the community and what is most recent done there. In carrying out their duties, journalists must still determine the rules that have been made, while the right to freedom of the press is given equality. The rules are written in a journalistic code of ethics established by the Indonesian Press Council, where one of the codes of ethics requires journalists to report accurate matters, which means that the approved writing must have proven its truth. This research uses qualitative with content analysis methods. Theories used to support this research are mass media theory, journalism, online journalism, news, and news accuracy. The results showed that news about the virus that was published on the tribunnews.com news portal was actually in accordance with the journalistic code of ethics set by the Indonesian Press Council, and also in accordance with the theory put forward by Romli which actually happened.Kebebasan pers merupakan salah satu hal yang menjadi hak jurnalis yang telah diatur dalam Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 40 Tahun 1999 Tentang Pers untuk menimbang hak-hak yang didapat anggota pers untuk menjalankan tugasnya sebagai penyambung antara masyarakat dengan keadaan terbaru yang terjadi di sekitar. Dalam menjalankan tugasnya, jurnalis harus tetap mengacu pada aturan-aturan yang telah dibuat, meskipun hak kebebasan pers diberikan mutlak. Aturan tersebut tertulis dalam kode etik jurnalistik yang ditetapkan oleh Dewan Pers Indonesia, yang mana salah satu kode etiknya mengharuskan jurnalis untuk memberitakan hal-hal akurat, yang mana berarti tulisan yang dipublikasikan harus sudah teruji kebenarannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode analisis isi. Teori yang digunakan untuk mendukung penelitian ini adalah teori media massa, jurnalistik, jurnalisme online, berita, dan akurasi berita. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berita mengenai virus corona yang dipublikasikan di portal berita tribunnews.com aktual dan sudah sesuai dengan kode etik jurnalistik yang berlaku yang ditetapkan oleh Dewan Pers Indonesia, dan juga sesuai dengan teori yang dikemukakan oleh Romli bahwa berita yang dipublikasikan harus sesuai dengan apa yang sebenar-benarnya terjadi.

This article examines the specifics and perspectives of the information and communication universe theory for the analysis of the mass media. The aim is to explain the application of the concept of affordance in the context of media theory. The term was introduced by psychologist James J. Gibson to describe the specific inviting nature of objects and events, which, through affordances, suggest an algorithm for subsequent actions. From this point of view, the information and communication universe makes it possible to use it for some important purposes for the subjects of communication. However, the quality and options for implementing the possibilities of affordance depend on the goals, interests and skills of the subject who is trying to work with this affordance. To use an analogy, the same axe could invite some people to chop wood for an old lady, and others to use it as a weapon against her in order to seize her pension benefits. The thesis on the functional usefulness of the category information and communication universe for the analysis of processes in the media system is put forward. Traditional ideas about the specifics of the production and consumption of texts are corrected. The author analyzes the affordances of the Internet as a subsystem of the information and communication universe. It helps to explain the radical differences in the assessment of network digital technologies by representatives of different research schools. The article outlines further prospects for the identification and use of hidden affordances.

Systems theoretical media research raises the question whether the mass media constitute a unified institution, or whether the media, due to their internal differences, should be considered individually and independent of each other. By inscribing the media in a general social theory, systems theory conceptualises the media as an autonomous functional system. This intention is most clearly illustrated by the efforts to identify a shared code for the entire media system. Based on the media theory of Niklas Luhmann, this paper offers a critical presentation of the code discussion within systems theoretical media research. The first part of the paper briefly introduces the systems theoretical notion of a code as well as Luhmann’s definition of the media system as organised and regulated by the code of information. The second part presents a number of alternative suggestions and definitions of the media system’s code, which both indicate the scope of systems theoretical media research, but also point to some of the limitations in the systems theoretical approach. In the last part, the paper takes a critical look at the systems theoretical code discussion by arguing that a too narrow focus on code definitions is blocking a more productive investigation of the conditions, evolution, and autonomy of the media system.
