Tourism Journalism – Elements of Journalism is a Must. Even though tourism journalism is look like a trivial think, a good standard on the elements of journalism should be applied on every tourism journalism writing. Now if you surf in cyberspace, no doubt you will find tourism news content, travel, touring, trips to exotic areas, to unspoiled tourist places. The reason is, the spread of content like this cannot be separated from the increasing use of social media and the level of tourism literacy in Indonesian society, especially young people.

The popularity of tourist attractions like this has made many content providers and news portals uphold tourism journalism as the primary content of their content. Although this kind of journalism is synonymous with travel and tourism, it is claimed that it is not just traveling.

That was the discussion that emerged from the Monthly Discussion of the PSDMA (Center for Alternative Media Studies and Documentation) Nadim of Communication Science Department, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). Risky Wahyudi  became the host of the event inviting Nur Rizna Feramerina.

Feramerina is an UII Communication Science student who conducts research on the phenomenon of Tourism Journalism and its current developments. She researched several portals. Apart from research, he is also active in writing on Detik Travel Indonesia.

Elements of Tourism Journalism

Are there any tips or special characters for becoming a journalist or contributing traveling content writer? How many people are there behind the scenes on this travelling website?

That question was asked by Risky Wahyudi, the host  of this discussion program. Feramerina said there were approximately 50 people more, for example in the Travellindo website in which she researched. Even Feramerina is also surprised that there are more than 5,000 contributors of traveling content that they had.

“They also have a contributor group in the Telegram application to foster contributors to produce better, more creative, quality content in accordance with the elements of journalism,” he said.

According to her research, there is no special character to become a writer or journalist for this Travel Writer. All the same. Writing must conform to journalism standards or elements. So you cannot write just randomly without understanding the elements of journalism. So, more than 5000 contributors must also fulfill the principles and basic elements of journalism in writing content with the tourism journalism genre.

Recommendations for Advanced Research on Tourism Journalism

Feramerina and Risky reach the conclusion that not much research has been done on Tourism Journalism. You can do research on this, for example, Risky’s idea, how  traveling websiite manages thousands of contributors, or like Feramerina said, no one has yet compared the content of tourism journalism on various news website.

Different portals, different standards. That’s how important it is to be researched. Feramerina shared her experience writing this travelling content for example. She writes on two portals: detik travel and Travellindo. Both have the same focus, but according to her experience, Travellindo is more selective and rigid in writing content, even photos.

According to her, there are not many references that talk about the genre in this journalism. She herself had to find and trace foreign sources who discussed this. This search finally found results. The primary reference that examines the tourism journalism genre that she is researching is a book entitled Specialist Journalism, edited by Barry Turner and Richard Orange.

Besides discussing technical coverage and how to do this, this main book also contains reflections on the fields of journalism. Such as journalism in sports, culinary, music, law, media, war, art and tourism. This book also discusses including how to write complex data from science research.

Di episode Teatime kali ini, Suwaibah Mataeha, mahasiswa IP Communications (IPC) 2019, akan berbagi pengalamannya selama menjadi mahasiswa internasional. Suwaibah atau biasa dipanggil Suwai, adalah seorang mahasiswa Komunikasi UII program internasional dari Yala, Thailand. Annisa Putri Jiany selaku pembawa acara ikut serta dalam diskusi Teatime pada episode kali ini yang bertema “Ngobrol Bersama Mahasiswa Internasional“.

Suwai sudah lama ingin belajar di luar negeri untuk menambah pengalaman. Ia mengaku mendapat informasi tentang beasiswa UII dari teman-temannya melalui Facebook. Suwai memanfaatkan kesempatan tersebut dan bersama teman-temannya mencoba melamar beasiswa di UII. Alasan dia memilih jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi bukan hanya karena dia menyukainya, tapi juga karena ingin lebih mahir dan percaya diri dalam mempraktikkan kegiatan komunikasi di depan umum.

Menjadi mahasiswa internasional tentunya membutuhkan kemampuan beradaptasi dengan lingkungan baru. Senada, Suwai mengaku saat pertama kali di UII sempat sedikit kesulitan dengan kemampuan bahasanya. Namun, motivasi belajar dan keinginan kuat untuk menguasai bahasa membuatnya bersemangat. Keinginannya untuk menambah keterampilan dan pengetahuan baru adalah tujuan awalnya sebagai mahasiswa. Inilah yang selalu dia ingat saat melewati masa-masa sulit.

Dosen dan karyawan yang sangat dekat dengan mahasiswa membuat Suwai merasa senang dan aman selama menempuh pendidikan di Jurusan Komunikasi UII. Dia juga mengatakan bahwa dia tidak menemui masalah apapun selama di kelas. Menurutnya, sistem pembelajaran di UII tidak jauh berbeda dengan sistem di negaranya.

Hal yang membedakan adalah tentang cara berbusana. Pelajar di Thailand memiliki aturan untuk memakai seragam hitam putih. Sedangkan di Indonesia, khususnya di UII, mahasiswa tidak diwajibkan berseragam.

Kendala Mahasiswa Internasional: Adaptasi dan Bahasa

Mengenai kendala bahasa yang sering dialami oleh mahasiswa internasional di UII, pihak kampus menyediakan fasilitas untuk membantu permasalahan tersebut. Fasilitas yang disediakan kampus bagi mahasiswa internasional adalah mahasiswa mendapatkan bantuan belajar bahasa melalui program BIPA. BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Orang Asing) merupakan program prasyarat yang dilaksanakan di CILACS (Pusat Kajian Bahasa dan Budaya Internasional) UII.

Suwai mengatakan dalam program ini mahasiswa akan diajarkan bahasa Indonesia dari dasar hingga mahir. Selain itu kampus juga memberikan fasilitas berupa bantuan sembako pada saat pandemi. Sehingga pelajar khususnya pelajar internasional tidak kesulitan tinggal di Jogja saat pandemi.

Ketika ditanya tentang hal-hal baru yang dipelajarinya selama belajar di Jogja, Suwai menjawab bahwa ia pernah mencoba beberapa makanan khas Jogja seperti Gudeg. Menurutnya makanan Indonesia yang memiliki kemiripan dengan makanan di Thailand adalah seblak, karena rasanya yang pedas dan asin. Ia juga pernah mencoba menonton beberapa film horor buatan Indonesia. Suwai menilai film horor Indonesia lebih seram dibanding film horor buatan Thailand.

Meski baru memasuki semester 3, Suwai mengaku mendapatkan manfaat dari ilmu yang didapat selama kuliah di IPC. Seperti Mata Kuliah Fotografi dan Public Speaking yang dia praktikkan saat di Thailand. Sebagai penutup, Suwai menyampaikan kesan yang didapatnya di IPC, bahwa IPC memiliki dosen yang ramah dan lingkungan yang baik. Ia berpesan, “Jangan takut mencoba, karena semua hal bisa dipelajari. Tidak apa-apa membuat kesalahan. Jadi, tetaplah percaya diri meskipun Anda belum bisa berbicara bahasanya. Karena semua yang ada di IPC menarik.”

In this episode of Teatime, Suwaibah Mataeha, a 2019 IP Communications (IPC) student, will share her experiences while being an international student. She is student of Communication Science Department of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). Suwaibah or Suwai (her nickname), is an international student from Yala, Thailand. Annisa Putri Jiany as the host joined Teatime’s discussion on this episode with the theme “Chit Chatting with International Students.”

Suwai has long wanted to study abroad to gain more experience. Suwai said that she got information about UII scholarships from friends via Facebook. Suwai took the opportunity and together with her friends tried to apply for a scholarship at UII. The reason she chose the Communication Science major was not only because she liked it, but also because she wanted to be more proficient and confident in practicing communication activities in public.

Being an international student certainly requires the ability to adapt to new environments. Likewise, Suwai admitted when the first time in UII she had a little difficulty with her language skills. However, the motivation to learn and a strong desire to master the language keeps her excited. Her desire to add new skills and knowledge was his initial goal as a student. This is what she always remembers when going through difficult times.

Lecturers and staff who are very close to students make Suwai feel happy and safe while studying at the International Program of Communication Science Department (IPC) at UII. She also said that she did not encounter any problems during class. According to her, the learning system at UII is not much different from the system in her country. The thing that distinguishes is about how to dress. Students in Thailand have a rule to wear black and white uniforms. Meanwhile in Indonesia, especially at UII, students are not required to wear uniforms.

Regarding the language barrier that is often experienced by international students at UII, the campus provides facilities to help this problem. The facilities provided by the campus for international students are that students receive language learning assistance through the BIPA program. BIPA (Indonesian Language for Foreigners) is a prerequisite program implemented at CILACS (Center for International Language and Culture Studies) UII.

Suwai said that in this program students will be taught Indonesian from basic to advanced. Besides, the campus also provides facilities in the form of basic food assistance during the pandemic. So that students, especially international students, have no difficulty living in Jogja during the pandemic.

When she was asked about the new things she had learned while studying in Jogja, Suwai replied that she had tried some typical Jogja foods such as Gudeg. According to her, Indonesian food which has similarities with food in Thailand is seblak, because of its spicy and salty taste. She has also tried watching several horror films made in Indonesia. Suwai argues that Indonesian horror films are scarier than horror films made in Thailand.

Even though she has just entered the 3rd semester, Suwai admits that she has benefited from the knowledge she got while studying at IPC. Like the Photography and Public Speaking courses that she practiced when in Thailand. In closing, Suwai conveyed the impression she got in IPC, that IPC had a friendly lecturers and kind environment. She advised, “Don’t be afraid to try, because all things can be learned. It is okay to make mistakes. So, be confident even though you can’t speak the language yet. Because everything in the IPC is exciting.”

Why is tracking the history of public relations important? In other countries, the history of public relations only has the context of each country. This study has a lot of enthusiasts. Its also many writers write textbooks, but there are not many issues in the history of public relations.

“Some books have written descriptions of the history of public relations / PR in Indonesia. The problems are they lack social, political and cultural contexts,” said I Gusti Ngurah Putra. Ngurah is a scholar from the UGM Department of Communication Sciences. He speak on Saturday (22/8) at the Forum Amir Effendi Siregar (AES) which was broadcast live on the Uniicoms TV Channel.

Books and Reference of History of PR                                                 

Books from other countries have discussed history according to the context of their country. For example, Ngurah cited the book entitled The Unseen Power, Public Relations: A history. Scott M. Cutlip wrote it up to 832 pages in thickness about the history of PR. Jacquie L’Etang also wrote the history of public relations in England in a book entitled Public Relations in Britain.

Meanwhile,  the history of PR in Indonesia is still not seriously worked on. According to Ngurah, if the writing of public relations history does not start, there is a fear that it will be difficult to access data and informants.

“There are only a few expert informants from the early actors or public relations pioneers in Indonesia. Another challenge is that documents related to PR practices and developing ideas are not easy to obtain,” explained Ngurah.

He gave a marker about who could be the starting point of indonensian PR in history. For example Prof. Alwi Dahlan, who founded a public relations consultant in Indonesia, “then there is Wicaksono Noeradi, a public relations practitioner who attended the School of Journalism in the United State. Then Amiruddin, PR of PT. Astra,” he added.

How Public Relations in Indonesia Early

In its history, public relations during the independence and Soekarno era were more focused in particular issues. Soekarno focused on building a new spirit as a new nation. According to Ngurah, public diplomacy is Indonesian PR focus at the beginning of the republic. It also focus on international relations, said Ngurah. Ngurah completed his Masters study and studied Indonesian PR at the University of Canberra, Australia.

Not only that. “Foreign oil companies in the early 1950s such as STANVAC, Shell, Caltex, BTM to Indonesia are often seen as the beginning of the emergence of Corporate PR in Indonesia,” he said. At about the same time, several companies or state institutions such as the Police, RRI and Garuda Indonesia also started having a Public Relations section.

In the 60s, this year was the forerunner to the development of PR in Indonesia. The term “purel” as an acronym for PR is getting more and more popular than the term “public relations”. Then in 1962, PM Juanda’s Cabinet presidium instructed each agency to form a public relations division.

Further developments, said Ngurah, during the New Order era, government agencies began to have a public relations department. The Ministry of Information / Deppen also performs a public relations function for the government.

Teatime episode ke 7 pada tanggal 14 Agustus 2020 yang mengangkat tema “Obrolan Menjadi Mahasiswa IPC” menghadirkan M. Aditya Arvian dari IP Communication (IPC) UII (Universitas Islam Indonesia) angkatan 2018. Melalui acara yang disiarkan lewat Live Instagram ini, Muthia B. Maharani, selaku tuan rumah, mendampingi diskusi dan berbagi dalam tentang mahasiswa IPC.

Hal yang sering ditanyakan tentang kelas IPC adalah perbedaannya dengan kelas komunikasi biasa. Menjawab pertanyaan itu, Adit dan Muthia menjelaskan sebagai mahasiswa IP, tugas dan ujian diberikan dalam bahasa Inggris dengan mengikuti regulasi internasional. Selain itu, mahasiswa IP dipersiapkan untuk menghadapi lingkungan internasional. Sehingga pelajaran yang diajarkan di kelas mengikuti standar internasional. Kapasitas kelas dan siswa yang disediakan juga lebih sedikit dibandingkan kelas reguler. Kelas yang lebih kecil ini memberikan keuntungan bagi mahasiswa IP untuk lebih dekat dengan dosen dan karyawan.

“Kami memiliki waktu yang akrab dengan dosen kami dan staf lainnya. Karena fasilitas yang kami dapatkan berbeda dengan yang biasa.”kata Adit.

Tidak hanya belajar di kelas, mahasiswa IPC juga mendapatkan pembelajaran melalui pengalaman langsung. Salah satu pengalaman unik yang bisa didapatkan di kelas IPC adalah melalui program P2A (Passage to Asean). Program ini merupakan salah satu program wajib dimana mahasiswa IPC diwajibkan mengikuti program ini minimal satu kali. Melalui program ini mahasiswa IPC bisa mendapatkan pengalaman langsung dengan orang internasional, berteman dengan orang di negara lain, dan belajar tentang budaya yang berbeda. Selain itu IPC Mahasiswa juga memiliki kebebasan untuk mengikuti organisasi dan acara yang diadakan di kampus maupun di luar kampus seperti halnya mahasiswa pada umumnya.

“Kita harus berbaur dengan orang dari beragam latar belakang. Bukan berarti karena kita mahasiswa internasional, kita tidak bisa berteman dengan orang lain. Bukan berarti seperti itu. Kita tetap berteman dengan jurusan dan negara yang berbeda,” ujarnya.

Semangat Menjadi Mahasiswa IPC UII

Untuk tahun pertama, mahasiswa IPC akan mendapatkan Bridging Program yang akan memudahkan mereka beradaptasi di dalam kelas. Untuk masuk kelas IPC mahasiswa baru tidak harus pandai berbahasa Inggris. Karena melalui Bridging Program tahun pertama, mahasiswa akan diajarkan tentang public speaking yang akan membantu mereka. Program ini juga akan membantu pembentukan karakter mahasiswa. Adit mengatakan, melalui kelas IPC setiap orang berhak mendapatkan kesempatan untuk belajar. Mereka akan mempelajari prosesnya bersama dengan berlatih bahasa Inggris secara langsung.

“Mengapa mereka harus memilih IPC?” tanya Muthia. Adit menjelaskan, di kelas IPC mahasiswa akan mendapatkan pengalaman unik yang tidak didapat di kampus lain. Seperti program P2A, workshop internasional, dan program lain yang disediakan untuk mahasiswa. Banyak hal menyenangkan yang bisa didapat dengan mengikuti kelas IPC. Karena kapasitas kelas yang kecil, hubungan emosional antar mahasiswa di dalamnya menjadi lebih dekat. Absennya senioritas juga menambah suasana akrab antara senior dan junior, maupun mahasiswa dan dosen.

Terkait tugas, sebagai mahasiswa IP, penugasannya cukup berbeda dengan kelas reguler. Mereka harus berbicara dengan fenomena internasional dan mengacu pada jurnal internasional. Meski berat, mereka punya fasilitas yang bisa menunjang. Dan di IPC mereka membangun ikatan emosional mereka dengan saling membantu satu sama lain ketika kesulitan dalam beragam hal. Misal kesulitan berbahasa, membaca teks asing, dan kesulitan akademik lainnya.

The 7th episode of Teatime on August 14, 2020, with the theme “Chit Chat About Being IPC Students” presented M. Aditya Arvian from IP Communication (IPC) UII (Universitas Islam Indonesia) batch 2018. At this Teatime, Muthia B. Maharani as the host accompanied the discussion and sharing in today’s topic about IPC students.

The thing that is often asked about the IPC class is the differences with the regular communication class. Answering that question, Adit and Muthia explained as IP students, assignments and exams were given in English by following international regulation. Besides, IP students are prepared to face the international environment. So that the lessons taught in the class follow international standards. The class and student capacity provided are also less than regular classes. This smaller class provides the advantage for IP students to be closer to the lecturers and staff.

“We have an intimate time with our lecturer and other staff. Because of the facility we got different from the regular one. For example, in the Prodi we can make coffee, that’s become one of the benefits for me. And that is the facility that we mentioned before,” said Adit.

Not only learning in class, but IPC students also get learning through direct experience. One of the unique experiences that can be obtained in IPC classes is through the P2A program. This program is one of the compulsory programs where IPC students are obliged to attend this program at least once. Through this program, IPC students can get direct experience with international people, make friends with people in another country, and learn about different cultures. Besides, IPC students also have the freedom to join organizations and events held on campus and outside campus like students in general.

“We have to blend in with people. It doesn’t mean because we are international students, we cannot make a friend with others. It’s doesn’t mean like that. Because we are still being friends with different major and country” he said.

The Excitement of Being an IPC UII Student

For the first year, IPC students will get a Bridging Program that will make them easier to adapt in the classroom. To enter IPC classes new students do not have to be good at English. Because through the Bridging Program first-year students will be taught about public speaking which will help them. This program will also help form the student character. Adit said, that through IPC classes everyone deserves the opportunity to learn. They will learn the process together by practicing English directly.

“Why they must choose the IPC?” asked Muthia. Adit explained that in the IPC class, students will get unique experiences that will not be obtained on another campus. Such as the P2A program, international workshops, and other programs provided for students. Many fun things can be obtained by joining IPC classes. Due to the small class capacity, the sense of relationship in it becomes more obvious. The absence of seniority also adds to the familiar atmosphere between seniors and juniors, nor students and lecturers.

Related to Adit statement, as the IP students, the assignment is quite different from the regular class. They have to talk to international phenomenon and refer to international journals. Even though it is heavy, they have facilities that can support. And in IPC they build their chemistry with help each other.

Kompas pattern has always been, every time there is a regime change, it supports the ruler. Kompas stated in a Kompas editorial on September 28, 1966. Kompas wrote that the PKI was a real manifestation of a misinterpretation of Pancasila. But when the ruler was weak, he started to dare to be critical.

Wijayanto said that in 1966 there was a special column called Kompasiana in Kompas. This column is managed by PK Ojong. But in 1971, he decided to stop writing in it, because Suharto initially embraced the press, on the contrary.

“At that time he showed his authoritarianism to the media. Suharto’s honeymoon period and the media ended in the early 70-71s,” Wijayanto said in the 6th Amir Effendi Siregar (AES) discussion series on August, 15th, 2020 broadcast by Uniicoms TV. , The first online TV at UII belonging to the Communication Science Department of UII.

The AES Forum is an endeavor of the UII Communication Science Department to perpetuate the spirit and critical ideas in media and communication studies. This spirit is the credo of Amir Effendi Siregar, the founder of this department, said Holy Rafika Dhona, a lecturer of Department of Communication Science cum moderator who also focuses on writing mustadh’afin studies in books entitled Prophetic Communication (Bahasa: Komunikasi Profetik).

“I think it is useless, if I write honestly, this newspaper will be threatened. But if I write according to the authority’s request, then I will not be able to deal with my own conscience, of course it is detrimental,” said Wijayanto imitating PK Ojong’s words, which decided to stop the Kompasiana rubric. Kompasiana, which contained critical writings on the regime, was considered to have injured President Soeharto at that time.

“Pak Ojong does not want to apologize and say that he will become a corpse now or later. It’s the same. But Jakob Oetama (one of the founders of Kompas) just went ahead and made his habitus Kompas just as it. Kompas habitus is Jakob’s habitus,” added Wijayanto who is also the Director of Center for Media and Democracy, LP3ES.

In the early 70s, Kompas’s strategy to survive from bredel was to get closer to power. In 1973 Jakob Oetama received an award from Soeharto. Evidence of closeness with Suharto. Wijayato, who is also Diponegoro University’s Communication lecturer, said, “Apart from that, from Daniel Dhakidae’s dissertation, Kompas also received a loan from BNI (National Bank of Indonesia) of 235 million. Which at that time was very large and was a private sector, which not all media received,” said Wijayanto.

However, in 1978, on the anniversary of the 32nd Indonesian press day at the palace, after Kompas was banned, Jakob met Suharto. At that time, while shaking hands, Jakob Oetama said, “Matur nuwun Sampun diparingaken terbit maleh. (Thank you for being allowed to publish again),” said Wijayanto imitating. Then President Soeharto replied with a smile, “Don’t even try it again.” Previously, it was noted that Kompas was banned from January 21 to February 3, 1978.

Suharto gave a condition for Kompas to be published again, said Wija, Wijayanto’s nickname: sign an apology contract that promises not to disclose the president’s wealth, the president’s family, etc.

After those moments, Kompas is still alive.

 “However, when Suharto’s legitimacy was dim, on May 14, 1998, Kompas began to become critical,” said Wijayanto. Kompas wrote in the 14th May 1998 edition, if the people no longer want it, the President is ready to resign.

In fact, this incident occurred during Suharto’s trip from Cairo to Jakarta. James Luhulima, a journalist from Kompas, in his book The Longest Days (Towards the Resignation of President Soeharto), wrote that they (journalists) were actually trying to persuade President Suharto that he wanted to resign. “We actually know that Suharto has no intention of resigning. But we ask, what if the people don’t want you anymore as president. Then the answer is that if the people don’t want me anymore, I will resign,” said Wijayanto, imitating James Luhulima.

So Kompas, together with other social forces, came to put pressure on it and created an atmosphere for Suharto as if he were ready to resign. Although on May 16 Suharto denied he was ready to resign.

The history of the media in the Kompas biography is a valuable lesson. History records that even during Suharto’s order, Kompas was oppressed under the regime’s power, at a weak point of power, Kompas began to show its side.

This story is the result of Wijayanto’s dissertation. Wijayanto conducted ethnographic research on Kompas Daily from January 2014 to June 2015. “This is a dissertation in Leiden whose manuscript has been submitted since 2018,” said Wijayanto.

In the discussion session of his dissertation in the Netherlands, Wijayanto’s discussion was written in a local newspaper in Dutch with the title: polite watchdog. The discussion was also included in the Kompas under a different title: Kompas Newspaper Across the Ages.

Bagaimana Bikin Hobimu Jadi Artikel Ilmiah Internasional? Pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah melakukan pemetaan ide Anda Untuk Memulai Penulisan Akademikmu. Ide atau topik harus jelas dan baru. Jelas dan baru berarti idemu tidak ambigu, memiliki tujuan yang jelas, dan melihat masalah dengan tepat. Apa masalahnya, apa solusinya, dan belum ada yang menulisnya sebelumnya. Pemetaan dan brainstorming topik atau masalah adalah kunci penulisan akademis. Pemahaman dan minat subjek juga merupakan kuncinya. Kita akan melihat banyak kesulitan ketika kunci-kunci tersebut belum siap di pikiran kita.

Demikian beberapa tips yang telah dibahas pada acara Teatime Talkshow tanggal 7 Agustus 2020. Talkshow ini ditayangkan di Instagram TV International Program Komunikasi UII (ip.communication.uii). Trik-trik tersebut telah dibagikan oleh Krisal Putra Mahasiswa Ilmu Komunikasi UII angkatan 2016 atas pengalamannya sebagai presenter di konferensi internasional sebelumnya. Tapi, apakah hanya itu tip yang dia bagikan?

Pada talk show edisi keenam ini, seperti biasa, Ida Nuraini, Sekretaris Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi Internasional UII, memandu acara talkshow tersebut. Dia bertanya kepada Krisal apa lagi tips menulis akademis di konferensi internasional seperti halnya Krisal.

“Selain memetakan isu, garis besar ide atau subjek penelitian juga penting,” jawab Krisal. Ia juga mengatakan bahwa kita harus banyak berdiskusi, bertukar pikiran, dan juga sering menulis.

Krisal mengatakan dosen di kampus kami memiliki peran penting untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis akademis kami juga. “Apa peran spesifiknya?” tanya Ida, dosen spesialis Jurnalisme, Citizen Journalism, dan Studi Media.

Dosen harus mendorong mahasiswa untuk terlibat dengan budaya akademik. Ketika seseorang sudah terlibat dengan budaya akademis, maka akan memudahkan mereka menulis tulisan akademis. “Judul atau subjek tulisannya harus jelas,” kata Krisal. Seorang dosen juga hendaknya memberikan kesempatan kepada mahasiswanya untuk memiliki kebiasaan menulis yang baik seperti yang dilakukan Komunikasi IP sebelumnya.

Hobi dan Ketertarikan Mempermudah Menulis Artikel Ilmiah

Krisal melanjutkan, sebaiknya kita tidak memulai dari ide kosong.

“Pastikan Anda sudah memiliki pemahaman yang baik dengan konsep penelitian. Anda tidak bisa menulis penelitian tanpa konsep dan ide penelitian. Jika Anda tidak tahu harus menulis apa, Dosen Anda akan menghadapi kesulitan besar untuk membimbing Anda,” kata Krisal.

Ida juga membagikan pengalamannya dalam keseharian di kelas menulis akademis. Sebagai dosen mata kuliah jurnalistik, Ida selalu menghadapi realitas budaya akademik mahasiswanya: tidak punya ide untuk menulis. Baik Krisal dan Ida sepakat bahwa siswa harus mulai menulis dengan apa yang mereka kuasai dan sukai.

Seperti yang pernah dilakukan Krisal sebelumnya, Ia memiliki ketertarikan pada isu lingkungan. Maka Ia mengawali tulisan akademisnya yang harus dipresentasikan pada konferensi internasional dengan isu lingkungan. “Dari permasalahan itu kita bisa perbaiki dan kembangkan menjadi berbagai macam format dan gaya penulisan akademis,” pungkasnya kemudian.

Selain belajar dari pengalaman Krisal, Anda juga bisa belajar menulis dengan tips Lindstroom di sini. Lindstroom berbicara tentang tips menulis tulisan akademis di jurnal internasional. Ia berbicara di depan banyak peserta Konferensi Internasional yang diselenggarakan oleh Jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi UII.
