Abstract

This study examines digital journalism practices within a rapidly evolving media environment. General Background: The expansion of digital media has reshaped news production and consumption, requiring speed, interactivity, and personalization. Specific Background: IDN Times addresses these demands through the IDN App, a multi-platform product integrating news, livestreaming, and microdrama content tailored for Millennials and Gen Z audiences. Knowledge Gap: Limited scholarly attention has been given to how integrated platform features and workflow structures operate simultaneously within a single digital news application. Aims: This research aims to identify the news production process and analyze innovations implemented in the IDN App. Results: Using a qualitative descriptive method with purposive sampling, findings show that production involves pre-production trend analysis, collaborative editorial planning, content creation, and evaluation, alongside post-production format adaptation across platforms. Key innovations include IDN Live, NONTON, QUIZ, AI-supported news curation, the “Intinya Sih…” concise feature, listicle formatting, infinite scroll, and the “Cek Fakta” verification program. Novelty: The study reveals the integration of workflow restructuring with platform-based content innovation within a single application ecosystem. Implications: These findings demonstrate how structured workflows and digital features support faster, relevant, and user-friendly news delivery, contributing to competitiveness in digital journalism.
