7T Obligations in the Quran

Knowledge is one of the essential pillars of religion. Without it, religion is like a building without a framework. Knowledge must also be accompanied by the spirit of sharing before it becomes successful. The success we build is success together.

“So we have to be successful by not forgetting to build a generation,” said Ridwan Hamidi, a Preacher and speaker at the Monthly Recitation of the Faculty of Psychology & Socio-Cultural Sciences UII on December 31, 2021.

Therefore, in studying the science of the Koran, Ridwan not only to the stage of learning to read it but also to form the best generation of Rabbani and society. In turn, the goal of creating a noble civilization is not impossible. Success in knowledge must also be successful in building civilization.

In principle, understanding the Three Basic Principles can fulfill the demand for religious knowledge. Three things that Muslims must learn are first, the pillars of Islam, the pillars of faith, then the things that are prohibited in religion (big sins and minor sins)

. First is Tahsin. “Tahsin can be interpreted to improve reading according to the rules of recitation,” said Ridwan, who is also a lecturer at several campuses in Yogyakarta, such as UMY and UII.

The next T is recitation. Tilawah means reciting the Quran every day. Knowledgeable people learn to read or improve their reading and decorate their day without missing the slightest from reciting the Quran.

Then the third T is Tahfizh, or memorizing the Quran. Not only memorizing but also the following obligation is Tafsir and Tadabbur. Tafsir means understanding the Quran, and tadabbur means contemplating and taking lessons from the Quran.

Is it enough?

There are still two next T, namely Tathbiiq and ta’lim. If Tathbiiq means practicing in everyday life, then ta’lim means teaching others. So this series of 7T obligations, when practiced, will make it easier for students of knowledge to achieve success and build civilization and a civilized generation.

Join the Global Academic World by Writing in International Journals

Nowadays, lecturers in Indonesia have to write in Scopus indexed journals. Writing in English and indexed by Scopus allows the discourse of Indonesian academic thought to have a dialogue with a global academic audience. Moreover, this international article was written by the journal’s editors.

Therefore, the Journal and Scientific Paper Publication Management Unit of FPSB UII held a follow-up session of the International Writing Workshop Volume 3 on Sunday, December 19, 2021, at the Hotel, Yogyakarta with Strict Health Protocols. This workshop continued the second Workshop Series on Saturday, November 20, 2021. According to Puji Rianto, as the Head of the Journal and Scientific Paper Publication Management Unit at FPSB UII, there will be a conducive writing climate so that writers and lecturers at FPSB can become good models at UII.

On the same occasion, the Dean of FPSB UII, Fuad Nashori, also provided motivation and encouragement to the journal editors as participants in this workshop. “What we start, we have to finish. The faculty at the beginning of next year will provide grants to support these editors so that they can submit to Scopus indexed and international journals,” he said. “Later, all workshop participants will be accompanied by a lecturer assistant at the FPSB who at least already has a Scopus H-Index of at least 2 or 3.”

“Earlier, it was mentioned how we would respond better to the grants given by the faculty. I am thrilled to welcome the grants that the dean has given. This can increase our recognition at the global level,” said Puji Rianto.

Puji Rianto invited the lecturers who are also editors of the Journal in the FPSB UII to coordinate with his team. This team will write and collaborate between writing study programs intensively. “Until finally in January, we can improve what we already have, and we can meet again in the same wave but at a different time,” said Puji Rianto later.

Three collaborative international journal manuscripts have emerged from those who have completed the draft, with assistance from Masduki, a Communications Lecturer at UII. For example, the three texts are about defamation, then a text about online learning discourse, and Public Relations discourse from the perspective of communication, psychology, and English language education. Masduki said that at least the first two paragraphs and the conclusion section could be written with a clear and precise formula about the findings and objectives of this international research. Masduki has 15 Scopus points in 2020 and an H-index of 2 in 2021. The H-Index is a measuring scale created by its inventor Hirsch, which shows how many articles an author has cited by other authors.

Kini adalah sebuah keniscayaan bagi dosen untuk menulis dalam jurnal terindeks scopus. Tulisan berbahasa inggris dan terindeks scopus memungkinkan wacana pemikiran akademisi Indonesia berdialog dengan khalayak akademisi global. Apalagi penulisan artikel internasional ini dilakukan oleh para editor jurnal.

Maka dari itu, Unit Pengelolaan Jurnal dan Publikasi Karya Ilmiah FPSB UII mengadakan sesi lanjutan Workshop Penulisan Internasional Jilid 3 pada Minggu, 19 Desember 2021 di Hotel Swisbel boutique dengan Protokol Kesehatan Ketat. Workshop ini adalah lanjutan dari Workshop Seri kedua pada hari Sabtu, 20 November 2021. Menurut Puji Rianto, ia sebagai Kepala Unit Pengelolaan Jurnal dan Publikasi Karya Ilmiah di FPSB UII, berharap ada iklim menulis yang kondusif, sehingga penulis dan dosen di FPSB bisa menjadi model yang bagus di UII.

Di kesempatan yang sama, Dekan FPSB UII, Fuad Nashori, juga memberikan motivasi dan dorongan pada para editor jurnal sebagai peserta workshop ini. “Apa yang kita mulai, harus kita tuntaskan. Fakultas di awal tahun depan akan memberikan hibah untuk mendukung editor-editor ini agar dapat submit ke jurnal terindeks scopus dan internasional,” katanya. “Nanti semua peserta workshop akan didampingi oleh pendamping dosen di FPSB yang setidaknya sudah memiliki H-Indeks Scopus minimal 2 atau 3.”

“Tadi sudah disebutkan bagaimana nanti kita baiknya merespon hibah yang diberikan fakultas. Saya senang sekali menyambut hibah yang telah diberikan oleh pak dekan ini. Ini bisa meningkatkan daya tembus kita di level global,” kata Puji Rianto.

Puji Rianto mempersilakan para dosen yang juga editor Jurnal di lingkungan FPSB UII berkoordinasi dengan timnya. Tim ini akan menulis dan berkolaborasi antar prodi menulis dengan intensif. “Hingga akhirnya Januari nanti kita dari yang sudah ada bisa kita perbaiki dan kita bisa ketemu kembali di gelombang yang sama tapi waktu yang berbeda,” harap Puji Rianto kemudian.

Dari yang telah merampungkan draftnya, dengan pendampingan dari Masduki, Dosen Komunikasi UII, telah muncul 3 naskah jurnal internasional kolaboratif yang teerlihat. tiga naskah itu misalnya tentang defamasi, lalu naskah soal wacana pembelajaran daring, dan Public Relation discourse dari dari perspektif komunikasi, psikologi, dan pendidikan bahasa inggris. Masduki mengatakan, setidaknya dua paragraf awal dan bagian kesimpulan bisa ditulis dengan formula yang lugas dan terang tentang temuan dan tujuan penelitian internasioanal ini. Masduki yang kini telah memiliki 15 poin Scopus pada 2020 dan H-indeks 2 pada 2021. H-Indeks adalah skala ukur yang dibuat oleh penemunya Hirsch, yang menunjukkan seberapa banyak artikel penulis yang disitasi oleh penulis lain.

Republika, Sikap Politik, dan Trik Meliput Peristiwa Internasional

Pda 2008, Media Amerika bernama Fox pernah mewawancari media-media di Indonesia. Salah satunya Republika. Fox mewawancarai Republika terkait bagaimana media di Indonesia meliput isu-isu internasional. Banyak dugaan, banyak anggapan. Setiap media memiliki kebijakan redaksi masing-masing. Termasuk kebijakan redaksi ini sangat dipengaruhi oleh posisi politik di mana media itu berada. Indonesia sendiri memiliki keberpihakan tersendiri dalam melihat kasus-kasus internasional dan separatisme. Bagaimana media bersikap?

“Kebiasaan di republika sangat hati-hati memilih diksi, memilah-milah sumber informasi, terutama diksi,” Kata Yeyen Rostiyanti (redaktur Internasional Republika) pada Kuliah Pakar Mata Kuliah Komunikasi Politik pada Sabtu, 18 Desember 2021. Kuliah Pakar kali ini mengambil tema Kebijakan Redaksi Republika dalam Meliput Peristiwa Dunia Islam di Luar Negeri.

“Misalnya soal diksi ‘armed group hamas’ kami pilih Kelompok Hamas. Atau misal dalam invasi di gaza kita sebut Gugur. Sementara di media selain republika akan sebut itu tewas,” ungkap Yeyen menjelaskan dapur redaksi Republika. Menurut Yeyen, Itulah yang membedakan antara diksi yang tepat dan keliru. Diksi itu bisa mempengaruhi angle pula katanya. “Ini pelakunya yang mana nih yang sebetulnya juga bisa dilihat dari diksi,” papar Yeyen.

Selain bicara soal bagaimana meliput isu Palestian dan Israel, Yeyen juga menceritakan kasus-kasus peristiwa internasional di soal Uighur, Kashmir, Rohingya, Israel dan Palestina, dan soal yang tidak pernah selesai adalah soal Islamophobia (prancis, india, dll). Yeyen menceritakan bagaimana Republika lebih mengedepankan isu kemanusiaan dan HAM sebagai pijakan berpikir dan sikap politik dalam meliput. Isu HAM dan kemanusiaan lebih universal daripada memilih menilai kelompok-kelompok ini sebagai separatis atau pemberontak di suatu negara.

Yeyen mengatkaan, selama ini Republika juga berhati-hati memilih siumber berita yang dijadikan referensi penulisan berita internasional. Soal sumber berita ini sejauh ini Republika harus terbuka bahwa standar jurnalistik itu sebenarnya luar biasa bagus bersandar pada kode etik. Itulah mengapa wartawan menjadi salah satu profesi yang dilindungi oleh Konvensi Jenewa yang tidak boleh dibunuh saat perang. “Misalnya, saat melakukan liputan soal palestina kita harus memahami latar belakang isunya. Kalau kita paham isunya, kita bisa memilah dan memilh sumber berita mana yang kita pilih,” katanya. Pengemasan berita internasional sangat penting mempertimbangkan angle, diksi, sumber berita, dan penulisan (kutipan, penyebutan sumber, dll).

“Beberapa kali kami memilih sumber israel, media israel bernama Hareetz, ini media israel tapi ternyata mengangkat isu palestina dan kritik pada pemerintah mereka sendiri. Seperti ini nilainya akan menjadi lebih tinggi beritanya karena itu diangkat oleh media israel sendiri dibanding kalau kita memilih sumber berita dari timur tengah yang lain ketiak mengangkat soal invasi Israel ke Palestina tahun 2021 ini,” papar Yeyen. Jadi, tidak bisa kita menerjemahkan utuh mentah-mentah semua berita dari sumber.

Yeyen sudah masuk di Republika sejak 1997. Beberapa kali ia mengikuti pelatihan jurnalistik internasional yang diadakan oleh Reuters dan juga pelatihan Global Journalism and Social media Course yang diadakan kedutaan Besar US. Yeyen juga berpengalaman melakukan interview dengan beberapa tokoh dunia. Misalnya ia pernah mewawancarai Presiden Pakistan Mamnoon Husein pada 2016 soal hubungan bilateral antara Indonesia dan Pakistan. Ia juga mewawancarai ketua palang merah internasional (ICRC/ International Committe of Red Cross) Peter Maurer tentnag harapannya pada indonesia.

“Kami melihat dari sejumlah literatur, republika yang cukup fokus tentang media islam, tak hanya soal politik. Bahkan Republika punya rubrik bernama ihram yang khusus bicara soal gaya hidup dari sudut pandang islam,” Kata Narayana Mahendra, Dosen pengampu Mata Kuliah Komunikasi Politik menjelaskan tujuannya mengundang Republika untuk mengisi kuliah pakar.

Ralat:

Ralat Pertama 27 Desember 2021:
Sebelumnya tertulis:
“Misalnya soal diksi ‘armed group hamas’ kami pilih Militan Hamas. Atau misal dalam invasi di gaza kita sebut Gugur. Sementara di media selain republika akan sebut itu tewas,” Ungkap Yeyen

Atas Permintaan narasumber, Kami ralat menjadi:
“Misalnya soal diksi ‘armed group hamas’ kami pilih Kelompok Hamas. Atau misal dalam invasi di gaza kita sebut Gugur. Sementara di media selain republika akan sebut itu tewas,” Ungkap Yeyen

Mohon Maaf atas kekeliruan ini dan Terima Kasih atas masukannya.

Republika, Political Views, and Tricks to Cover International Events

In 2008, an American media named Fox once interviewed media and newspapers in Indonesia. One of them is Republika. Fox interviewed Republika regarding how the press in Indonesia covers international issues. Lots of guesses, lots of assumptions. Each media has its editorial policy. Including the editorial policy is strongly influenced by the political position in which the media is located. Indonesia itself has its side in viewing international cases and separatism. How does the media behave?

“Journalists of Republika are cautious in choosing diction, sorting out sources of information, especially diction,” said Yeyen Rostiyanti (International editor of Republika Newspaper) as the Political Communications Expert Lecture on Saturday, December 18, 2021. This time the Expert Lecture took the theme Editorial Policy of Republika newspaper in Covering the Events of the Islamic World Abroad.

“For example, regarding the diction ‘armed group Hamas’, we choose Hamas Group. Or for example, in the invasion of Gaza, we call it Fall. Meanwhile, in the media other than Republika, we will call it dead,” said Yeyen explaining the editorial kitchen of Republika. According to Yeyen, that’s what distinguishes right and wrong diction. The diction can also affect the angle, She said. “This is the culprit, which can be seen from the diction,” said Yeyen.

In addition to covering Palestinian and Israeli issues, Yeyen also recounted cases of international events in the Uighur, Kashmir, Rohingya, Israel, and Palestine matters. The unresolved issue is Islamophobia (France, India, etc.). Yeyen told how Republika prioritized humanitarian and human rights issues as a basis for thinking and political attitudes in reporting. Human rights and humanitarian problems are more universal than judging these groups as separatists or rebels in a country.

Republika’s Editorial Policy

Yeyen said that all this time, Republika was also careful in choosing news sources that were used as references for international news writing. As far as news sources are concerned, Republika must be open that journalistic standards are excellent, relying on a code of ethics. That is why journalists are one of the professions protected by the Geneva Conventions that cannot be killed during the war. “For example, when we cover Palestine, we have to understand the background of the issue. If we understand the issue, we can sort and choose which news sources we choose,” She said. International news packaging is essential considering angle, diction, news sources, and writing (quotes, mention of references, etc.).

“Several times, we chose an Israeli source, the Israeli media named Hareetz, this is Israeli media, but it turns out to be raising the issue of Palestine and criticism of their government. Like this, the news value will be higher because the Israeli media itself pick it up than if we choose news sources from the Middle East when they bring up the issue of the Israeli invasion of Palestine in 2021,” Yeyen said. So, we can’t translate it ultimately. All news is raw from sources.

Yeyen has been in Republika Newspaper since 1997. She has attended international journalism training held by Reuters and Global Journalism and Social media Course training held by the US Embassy. Yeyen also has experience in conducting interviews with several world leaders. For example, She once interviewed the President of Pakistan, Mamnoon Hussein, in 2016, a matter of bilateral relations between Indonesia and Pakistan. She also questioned the head of the international red cross (ICRC / international Committee of the Red Cross), Peter Maurer, about hopes on Indonesia.

“We see from several kinds of literature, Republika which quite focused on Islamic media, t I’m only about politics. Even Republika has a rubric called Ihram which specifically talks about lifestyle from an Islamic point of view,” said Narayana Mahendra, Lecturer in Political Communication Course, explaining his goal of inviting Republika Newspaper to fill an expert lecture.

Tips Menulis Artikel Jurnal yang Berkualitas 

Menulis itu harus mengasyikkan. Ada beberapa kunci Dalam menulis. Pertama adalah kecepatan responsif yang itu butuh latihan. Semakin banyak membaca, kita akan terampil menulis. Juga ada yang disebut ketepatan: ini butuh metode.

“Keyword terakhir, Menulis juga butuh variasi. Jika Ingin variasi maka butuh perspektif dan teori,” Kata Daniel Susilo, sebagai pembicara workshop Penulisan Jurnal yang diselenggarakan oleh Unit Jurnal dan Publikasi Karya Ilmiah FPSB UII pada 17 Desember 2021.

Workshop ini bertujuan meningkatkan kualitas artikel yang masuk pada Jurnal Komunikasi UII. Seluruh penulis yang dinyatakan lolos tahap pertama diundang pada kesempatan ini untuk meningkatkan kualitas naskahnya masing-masing.

“Menulis artikel jurnal ilmiah dengan kualitas yang bagus bukanlah perkara mudah. Ada beberapa faktor, di antaranya kurangnya waktu, bahan tulisan karena minimnya riset, dan mungkin juga karena kurang pahamnya strategi dalam menulis jurnal ilmiah,” kata Puji Rianto, Editor in Chief Jurnal Komunikasi UII sekaligus Kepala Unit Jurnal dan Publikasi Karya Ilmiah FPSB UII pada Jumat (17/12/2021).

Daniel, yang juga adalah Editor in Chief di Jurnal Studi Komunikasi terindeks SINTA 2, memberi beberapa strategi penyiapan naskah. Yang utama dan kesalahan banyak penulis jurnal adalah memindahkan hasil laporan penelitian begitu saja, mentah-mentah. “Celakanya, penulis itu memindah saja hasil laporan penelitian ke format jurnal. Harusnya ditulis ulang,” kata Daniel.

Strategi Penyiapan Naskah

Pertama, Pastikan abstrak terdiri dari poin-poin penting seperti berisi tujuan (This article aims), metode (This research use qualitative methods), hasil (it finds that), dan kesimpulan (This article reflects on). Kedua, abstrak berisi temuan-temuan penting yang tidak menyertakan sitasi dan menyalin tempel kata-kata dari badan artikel.

Ketiga, sebaiknya penulis menulis judul dengan sederhana, singkat, atraktif, akurat, dan unik. “Kalau bisa tidak lebih dari 12 kata,” kata Daniel, yang kemudian mencoba membuka konsultasi langsung dengan melakukan permak judul pada dua naskah penulis Jurnal Komunikasi UII. Contohnya, Salah satu penulis memiliki judul lebih dari 12 kata: “Perbandingan pola pencarian informasi kesehatan berbasis risk perception attitude framework dalam kasus covid-19, studi pada wilayah rural dan urban provinsi jawa timur.” Lalu oleh Daniel disarankan menjadi, “Komparasi Pencarian Informasi Kesehatan berbasis RPA pada penanganan COVID-19 di Jawa Timur,” ketik Daniel di chat box aplikasi zoom.

Sedangkan menurut Daniel, penulis harus membuat tulisan yang meyakinkan pada bagian pendahuluan. Pastikan pendahuluan berisi permasalahan, signifikansi kajian, peta keilmuan (state of the arts) dan kebaruan (novelty), dan sudut pandang permasalahan.

Daniel menyarankan, Jika artikel telah selesai dilakukan, baca kembali naskah anda. Saat membaca ulang, pastikan alur telah ditulis dengan mengalir. Jika Anda menulis dalam Bahasa Inggris, serahkan saja pada jasa proofreader untuk membantu Anda yang bahasa ibunya bukan Bahasa Inggris. Dosen Komunikasi UMN ini lalu juga meminta para penulis agar memerhatikan selingkung jurnal yang akan dituju. Jangan lupa juga cek kesamaan pada aplikasi Turnitin.

Tips for Writing Quality Journal Articles 

Writing should be fun. There are several keys to writing. The first is responsive speed which takes practice. The more we read, the more skilled we will be at writing. There’s also something called precision: it takes a method.

“The last keyword, writing, also needs variation. If you want variety, you need perspective and theory,” said Daniel Susilo, as a speaker at the Journal Writing workshop organized by the Journal and Scientific Work Publication Unit of FPSB UII on December 17, 2021.

This workshop aims to improve the quality of articles included in the UII Communication Journal. All authors who have passed the first stage are invited to this opportunity to improve the quality of their respective manuscripts.

“Writing scientific journal articles with good quality is not an easy matter. There are several factors, including lack of time, writing materials due to lack of research, and perhaps also because of a lack of understanding of strategies in writing scientific journals,” said Puji Rianto, Editor in Chief of the Communication Journal. UII and the Head of the Journal and Scientific Work Publication Unit of FPSB UII on Friday (17/12/2021).

Daniel, also Editor in Chief at the SINTA 2 indexed Journal of Communication Studies, provides several strategies for preparing the manuscript. The main mistake of many journal writers is to transfer the results of research reports just like that, raw. “Unfortunately, the author just transferred the results of the research report to a journal format. It should have been rewritten,” said Daniel.

Manuscript Preparation Strategy

First, make sure the abstract consists of important points such as containing the objectives (This article aims), methods (This research uses qualitative methods), results (it finds that), and conclusions (This article reflects on). Second, the abstract contains significant findings that do not include citations and copy and paste words from the body of the article.

Third, the author should write the title simple, short, attractive, accurate, and unique. “If possible, no more than 12 words,” said Daniel. He then tried to open a direct consultation by changing the title of the two manuscripts written by the UII Communication Journal writer. For example, one author has a title of more than 12 words: “Comparison of health information seeking patterns based on risk perception attitude framework in the case of COVID-19, a study in rural and urban areas of East Java province.” Then Daniel was suggested to be, “Comparison of RPA-based Health Information Search on handling COVID-19 in East Java,” typed Daniel in the chatbox of the zoom application.

Meanwhile, according to Daniel, the writer must make a convincing article in the introduction. Make sure the introduction contains the problem, the significance of the study, the state of the arts and novelty, and the point of view of the problem.

Daniel advises, When the article is done, reread your manuscript. When rereading, make sure the plot has been written with the flow. If you write in English, leave it to a proofreader to help you whose mother tongue is not English. This UMN Communications lecturer then also asked the writers to pay attention to the surroundings of the journal to be addressed. Don’t also forget to check the similarities in the Turnitin application.

Improving the Quality of Journal Language by Proofreading

The last stage in journal publishing is the one that most often makes people complacent. Usually, when the deadline comes out, people have exhausted a lot of energy, and their focus also begins to decrease a lot. Many minor mistakes from a technical point of view, from manuscript layout to simple details such as grammar, were missed towards the end of the journal’s publication.

For this reason, the Journal and Scientific Paper Publication Management Unit of FPSB UII held Language Training for journal staff within the FPSB environment. Participants came from the management of the UII Communication Journal, Psychological Journal, Asian Journal of Media and Communication/AJMC, Psychological Intervention Journal, to the journal that will be republished, namely JEE (Journal of English Education) belonging to the UII English Education Study Program. This training is expected to improve language skills to become the last gatekeepers before the publication in the future.

“I plan to hope that these staff members can help become proofreaders at the end of the technical stages of journal publishing. Meanwhile, the lecturers who are editors can focus more look at the substance of the manuscript more deeply,” said Puji Rianto, Head of the FPSB UII Journal and Scientific Paper Publication Management Unit, at the OJS Workshop and FPSB UII Journal Management Proofreader on December 15, 2021, in Yogyakarta.

According to Puji, some mistakes that often go unnoticed appear in several forms. For example, sometimes, there are manuscripts whose paragraphs are broken during the layout process. The second example is typos and citations. Sometimes this error is not visible because it is too detailed and inserted. Saturation of looking at scripts and computer screens is also often the cause. “Therefore, I suggest we can go back to using printed dummy checks. Usually, this can help make it easier for us to find these small mistakes,” said Puji Rianto. It is hoped that this minor error can be minimized and improve the quality of journals at FPSB UII.

The following error is on the grammatical side. For example, you are writing commas, compound sentences, hyphens, writing acronyms, and first-person pronouns. Writing your words must use capital letters. “Also, note that there is no hyphen at the beginning of the sentence. Even if there is, it must be followed by a comma,” continued Puji Rianto.

Another thing that must be considered is the consistency in writing the identity and environment. Does he use English at the beginning of the title, the second line, or only in the abstract and others. This consistency is often missed because writers often fail to follow the environment in journals at FPSB UII.

Tricks for Writing to be Accepted on Media: Tricks from UII Students

Online media is now the most favorite media in the world. Young readers have now 100 percent switched to online platforms. Online news and articles are increasingly in demand by the media. Many news and articles appear. Often the content of one media with other media is similar. The writing style makes the reader-run away because it is not attractive.

Nurul Fajrikusumastuti, student of Communication Studies at the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII), a contributor to liputan6.com, provides some tricks and tips to penetrate online media. In a monthly discussion organized by the Center for Alternative Media Studies and Documentation (PSDMA) NADIM on December 15, 2021, Nurul explained the method that has been effective since May 2021 to penetrate online media. Dozens of his writings have been published in the online media.

Communicative, not just informative!

The psychology of online readers today is different from that of book readers. Writing must be full of information, but if it is too full of data, the reader will be tired of digesting it. Online media readers are now more comfortable if they are involved in writing. “For example, we can open with little pleasantries like this: you all must have experienced traffic jams. Now imagine how it feels!” Nurul gave an example.

Keyword Hits, Hips

Perspective, The world of online media is like fighting over readers. To be read, the title and topic must be a magnet to attract readers to open the news page. For that, the title must be eye-catching. To get on the radar and appear on the main page of search engines, topics must contain keywords that are currently hit or are trending.

However, the article’s content will be very dull if the contents of one news with other news are only repeated. The author must see a different perspective, even with the same theme. “Yesterday it was viral about the artist’s accident on the toll road. Maybe what comes to mind is the chronology. But in the days ahead, the chronology theme can’t be reloaded. We have to write with the theme of the accident but with a different perspective. For example, we make a kaleidoscope of accidents for a year or other themes,” explained Nurul, who also qualified as a contributor after going through several pieces of training at the student level.

Trik Agar Tulisan dapat Dimuat di Media: Trik dari Mahasiswa UII

Media online kini mejadi primadona. Pembaca muda kini sudah 100 persen beralih ke platform online. Berita dan artikel online kian menjadi permintaan media. Banyak berita dan artikel betmunculan. Sering kali konten satu media dengan media lain sering kali serupa, bahan ga ya tulisannyapun membuat pembacanya lari karena tak menarik.

Nurul Fajrikusumastuti, mahasiswa Iimu Komunikasi Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), yang sekaligus menjadi kontributor untuk liputan6.com, memberikan beberapa trik dan tips untk bisa menembus media online. Dalam diskusi bulanan yang diselenggarakan oleh Pusat Studi dan Dokumentasi Media Alternatif (PSDMA) NADIM 15 Desember 2021, Nurul membeberkan caranya yang sejak Mei 2021 lalu jitu untuk menembus media online. Belasan tulisannya sudah dimuat di media online tersebut.

Komunikatif, tidak cuma Informatif!

Psikologis pembaca online saat ini berbeda dengan pembaca buku. Tulisan emang dituntut untuk sarat informasi, namum jika terlalu penuh dengan informasi, pembaca akan lelah mencernanya. Pembaca media online kini lebih betah jika mereka turut dilibatkan dalam tulisan. “Misalnya kita bisa buka dengan sedikit basa-basi begini: kamu semua pasti pernah mengalami macet. Nah kebayangkan bagaimana rasanya!” Nurul mencontohkan.

Keyword Hits, Perpektif Hips

Jagad media online seperti berebut pembaca. Untuk bisa dibaca, judul dan topik harus menjadi magnet daya tarik pembaca untuk membuka laman berita. Untuk itu judul harus eyechating. Untuk masuk dalam radar dan nongol di laman utama mesin pencari, topik harus memuat kata kunci yang kini sedang hits atau sedang trend.

Namun, konten artikel akan sangat membosankan jika isinya satu berita dengan berita lain hanya diulang-ulang. Penulis harus panda melihat perspektif berbeda, meskipun dengan tema yang sama. “ Kemarin sedang viral tentang kecelakaan artis di jalan tol. Mungkin yang terpikir adalah kronologinya. Tapi hari-hari kedepan tema kronologi kan tidak bisa dimuat lagi. Kita harus membuat tulisan dengan tema kecelakaan tapi dengan perspektif berbeda. Misal kita bikin kaleidoskop kecelakaan selama setahun, atau tema lain,” jelas Nurul yang juga lolos menjadi kontributor setelah melalui beberapa pelatihan di level mahasiswa.
