Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed every sector of human lives and that also happens in journalism practice. In theoretical level, the definition of journalism still the same. It is a process to report events with the aim of exposing the truth to the audience. However, the practice of journalism has altered. Nowadays, every broadcasting media has their own YouTube channel. The channel broadcasts a range of journalism products, for instance breaking news. The term of breaking news is well-known as an information that broadcast to the public with a depth news value and serve in concise matter. Nevertheless, the definition has been altered. The most distinct characteristic between breaking news on TV and on YouTube is the duration. Longer duration of breaking news can be seen on YouTube. Going to the street for demonstration still happens in Jakarta, Indonesia despite the fact of the pandemic is still on-going. On October 2020, there were several demonstrations and broadcasting media did a different approach to report it. Kompas TV, one of major broadcasting media in Indonesia, broadcasted the event live on their YouTube channel without any reporter telling the situation and broadcasted it for hours. Thus, the journalism practice has altered with broadcasting media isn’t delivering breaking news but becoming no more than a CCTV.
