BANALITAS INFORMASI JURNALISME INFOTAINMENT DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP PENONTON
Abstract: This article is
based on a research of information banality in television infotainment programs
and the effects to the audience. The research uses the ethnography of
communication method at the level of decoding and encoding process. It results
that in infotainment production process, TV station often disregards the
journalism ethic principles. This statement is proved by -for example - many
cases of some celebrities sue the infotainment crew because the celebs feel
suffered by infotainment news. The infotainment news packaging in infotainment
program also shows a phenomenon called “market-driven journalism”, which breaks
the “cover both side" principle. At the decoding process, public in three
locations that's been researched show different inclination. Some are critical
and don't let their children watch infotainment, while the others watch
infotainment intensively and even allow their children watch it too. Despite,
they do know and aware that the infotainment can be harmful to their children.
