Abstract

The technology impact on objective journalism culture towards press or media democracy is believed to have an important role in creating a democratic society (Gans: 2003). Hence, it is important to develop an objective press. The culture of objectivity should be developed and applied in journalism. As an informing agent, the press has to keep their objectivity in order to maintain factual values of the news they deliver. However, due to technological development, journalists seem no longer to be sole agents of information. As people can upload any kinds of information by themselves, objectivity is much needed to maintain the morality role of journalists as agents of information. This research focuses its study on the news objectivity to maintain democracy. Using qualitative research approach, the data were collected by interviewing editors-in-chief and journalists of several regional and local newspapers in the Province of Central Java, Indonesia. The research shows that objectivity is an important value to own by the media and its reporters. The development of technology also plays a major role in the changing of objective perspective and journalism practice that follows.
