Citizen journalism was initially practiced via mass media. This is because citizens trusted mass media as an independent information channel, and social media like Twitter was unavailable. Following mass media’s affiliation to political parties and the rise of social media, citizens began using Twitter for delivering news or information. We dub this as citizen journalism from street to tweet. This study found that such process indicates the waning of mass media and the intensification of social media. Yet, the process neither strengthened citizen journalism nor increased public participation as it resulted in netizens experiencing severe polarization between groups critical and in support of the government instead. We consider this as a new emerging phenomenon caused by the advent of new media in the post-truth era. In this context, post-truth refers to social and political conditions wherein citizens no longer respect the truth due to political polarization, fake-news-producing journalist, hate-mongering citizen journalism, and unregulated social media activities. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with four informants. While conversation data of netizens on Twitter were acquired from a Twitter conversation reader operated by DEA (Drone Emprit Academic), a big data system capable of capturing and analyzing netizen’s conversations, particularly on Twitter in real time. This study may have implications on the shift of citizen journalism due to its presence in the era of new media. The most salient feature in this new period is the obscurity of news, information, and opinions conveyed by citizens via social media, like Twitter.

Iklim organisasi merupakan keadaan di sebuah organisasi, tempat setiap anggotanya saling berinteraksi, membatasi diri, ataupun berinteraksi satu sama lain sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas kerja sama dan peningkatan kinerja anggota organisasi. Iklim organisasi yang kondusif akan mendorong para anggota organisasi untuk saling berinteraksi satu sama lain yang dapat meningkatkan komitmen pada organisasi. Komitmen organisasi akan menjadi indikator kepuasan kerja karyawan, bersama efektivitas komunikasi interpersonal yang dilakukan. Di sisi lain, keterbukaan komunikasi dalam sebuah organisasi akan membuat suasana kerja menjadi kondusif dan nyaman. Dengan membiasakan diri untuk berketrampilan komunikasi yang baik di tempat kerja, maka karyawan akan mencapai kepuasan kerja. Dengan demikian, masalah penelitian adalah bagaimana pengaruh integrasi variabel iklim organisasi, komunikasi interpersonal, dan komitmen organisasi terhadap kepuasan kerja. Apakah model integrasi variabel iklim organisasi, komunikasi interpersonal, dan komitmen organisasi bisa menggambarkan pengaruh terhadap kepuasan kerja? Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh data dan informasi tentang model integrasi pengaruh variabel iklim organisasi, komunikasi interpersonal, dan komitmen organisasi terhadap kepuasan kerja. Adapun paradigma penelitian yang digunakan adalah positivistik sedangkan metode penelitiannya adalah survei. Populasi penelitian ini adalah pegawai negeri sipil di Kecamatan XYZ, Kabupaten Bekasi, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive random sampling. Hasil penelitian membuktikan, variabel iklim organisasi dan variabel komunikasi interpersonal memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan kerja, sedangkan variabel komitmen organisasi tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kepuasan kerja.

This research aims to determine the extent to which teenagers distinguish true news from fake news and how these fake news affect adolescents’cognition. A lot of hoax information has sprung up on social media, especially during the 2019 Indonesian presidential election. The ability to check on the information spread in online media is influenced by each individual’s cognitive abilities. A person’s cognitive ability is to think rationally, including aspects of knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This study used an explanative survey method with a quantitative positivistic paradigm. The results showed that the most influencing X variable to the Y variable was the Satire variable, which is positive and unidirectional. The Hoax variable has the most influence on cognitive abilities, even though the value is negative and not unidirectional. This means, the lower the understanding of Hoax, the higher the level of cognitive abilities.
