Patriots on Air: Reflections on Patriotism in the Minds of TV Journalists

This chapter analyses patriotic discourses of Russian television journalists. The starting point is that there is a certain pressure to be patriotic imposed upon journalists who work for mainstream television. Three discourses on patriotism have been identified through thematic interviews: a personal, intimate patriotism; a militaristic one - and a patriotism that draws from the narratives of ongoing information war. Russian journalists use all three discourses when they explain their attitude towards patriotism. While journalists express criticism towards militaristic undertones of official discourse, the most prominent figures in television accept and repeat it in their work.

Nevertheless, new media ecology is not fully implemented by television journalists in Ambon when reporting the diversity issues. The journalists will frame their news before report it mainly for news with the tendency to the SARA (ethnicity, religion, and race) issues. Framing is formed when journalists narrate their news before aired. It implemented due to their conflict experienced in the past. The journalists have responsibility and awareness in terms of the effect of their news. Their SARA’s news which aired in the Youtube platform could trigger conflict. The conflict has a huge impact on their personal and social life Ekologi media merefleksikan bahwa media massa harus bergerak dinamis untuk bertahan hidup di tengah tekanan dan kompetisi dengan berbagai platform.

Selanjutnya dilakukan FGD dengan jurnalis televisi kontributor Ambon di mana berita-berita yang ditayangkan telah dianalisis sebelumnya.

Pembingkaian dilakukan lebih pada narasi atau audio berita yang disajikan. Ini dilakukan karena Provinsi Maluku pernah mengalami konflik masa lalu. Jurnalis memiliki tanggung jawab dan kesadaran tinggi bahwa sejumlah peristiwa konflik terjadi salah satunya akibat berita bernuansa SARA yang tersebar luas di Youtube. Konflik tersebut telah membawa pengaruh besar dalam kehidupan pribadi dan bermasyarakat.

Prospects of News Televsion: Materials of In-Depth Interviews

The issues of the development of traditional news television in the context of a single information space are considered. The goal is to look at how much content creators and consumers agree in their predictions about the future of TV. The data of in-depth interviews were used as empirical material: professional television journalists (federal TV channels) and students (PFUR “Television” department) were interviewed. The contradictions between the two basic types of media consumption, which are characteristic of addressers and addressees of television messages, are revealed. It is shown that these contradictions explain the generational gap in the perception of modern news television programs, predetermine the decrease in TV consumption of news content from federal channels designed for a mass audience. The relevance of the work is due to the rethinking of the functions and prospects for the development of traditional TV by both professional broadcasters and consumers. The conclusion is made about the further development of news television. It is noted that, on the one hand (the opinion of professionals), traditional television broadcasting will be preserved while adjusting the agenda, rethinking interaction with the audience, changing the broadcasting paradigm, mastering new competencies by professional journalists and using the opportunities of the online space. On the other hand (students’ opinion), subject-to-object news broadcasting of federal channels will cease to exist when the generation of viewers and the funding model change.
