Radicalism and terrorism are still common in Indonesia, so all parties have a common obligation to carry out prevention and countermeasures. Even the Press Council issued Press Council Regulation Number 01/Peraturan-DP/IV/2015 concerning Guidelines for Reporting on Terrorism on April 9, 2015. However, it is really not easy for the mass media to report and report on this issue in various situations and interests in Indonesia. Likewise for local media in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). This study aims to find out how the role of local journalists in NTT is to perform their functions in preventing radicalism and supporting religious harmony in NTT Province. What obstacles they face in the field, as well as what kind of news construction they have to do in carrying out their duties. Mass media, terrorism and radicalism are theories that continue to develop in line with how the discourse of radicalism is inseparable from the role of mass media coverage in encouraging or inhibiting radicalization and existing acts of violence. The position of the media, both at the local, national and global levels, becomes very important in carrying out counter narration when there are efforts by parties who want to promote the idea of radicalism and terrorism in a region. This research will use the FGD method on 10 journalists from local media in NTT, as an effort to dig deeper into the real conditions in the field. However, nowadays with the strengthening of transnational radical groups, they are trying to do various ways to divide Indonesia, and it is very likely that it will be present in NTT as one of the heart of the province which has been considered very ideal in maintaining religious harmony.
