Potensi Pengembangan Agregator Berita dengan Konsep Slow Technology Berbasis Human Centered

Abstract

Digital journalism in Indonesia is placing the speed of news presentation and distribution as a significant factor for the audience or news readers. The presence of news aggregators such as LINE Today are considered to be able to present news with actual issues and curated topics and also filter news to attain quality content. However, based on previous research, there are still several issues regarding news aggregators such as being repetitive, biased, and producing irrelevant news. This research aims to offer development ideas through the concept of slow technology by placing humans amid technology to fill academic debates regarding the shortcomings of news presentation from news aggregators. This study uses a constructivism paradigm with a case study research strategy and a single-case design. Research analysis uses a pattern-matching model to involve a comparison of predicted patterns and effects with those that have been observed empirically and identified. The results show that there is a potential for developing news aggregators based on the integration of roles among stakeholders, by introducing awareness of balance between the increasing speed of information and communication technology and the more limited speed of personal information processing. This research fills gaps on issues and problems that news aggregators often encounter to provide constructive solutions through the potential of ICT design that reflects human values, such as trust, integrity, and honesty.
