“…These are among the pivotal skills should be possessed by journalists. (Rusdi & Rusdi, 2020). The interview with journalist from CNBC, found that official accounts of government institutions with blue tick, such as @infoBMKG (Official Twitter account of BMKG) and @DivHumas_Polri (official account of Indonesian National Police), are often utilized as primary source of related information during natural disaster.…”

Nowadays, uploading surrounding events to media social has been part of people’s daily life. They can upload many things such as their personal activities or even certain circumstances occurred, such as natural disaster. On the other hand, social media can also be a means to convey official statement or information by many parties, including organization, corporation, and even the government, through their official account. These information will then be quoted by journalists to carry out their journalistic tasks. Twitter is one of many brands of social media that is often used by the government to share natural disaster related information which then will be quoted by journalist. In addition to the tweet column, twitter is also equipped with hashtag that encourages easier access to find certain related information. Further, it also provides the space to complete the shared information with pictures and/or videos, along with captions, to provide a brief information related to the picture or video. This study aims to find out how media outlet leverages the information shared on Twitter as a source for their published articles during this digital journalism era, especially for natural disaster related information. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. It will adopt the gatekeeping theory to analyze ethics practices in the development of natural disaster related articles sourced from social media, Twitter. The research found that there is a phenomenon where journalists rely on the information shared through social media, either by an official government owned account or personal owned account, to develop natural disaster related news, especially for those cases when the natural disaster occurred in isolated areas or when the disaster made the areas become isolated. The Twitter-sourced published information presented by the journalist through their media outlets can be in form of articles, pictures, or even videos.

“…News producers have long enjoyed a gatekeeping role, deciding what news matters and distributing it to audiences through their publications. However, the rise of social media has flipped those roles, with news coverage being driven by trending topics that resonate with audiences (Rusdi & Rusdi, 2019). Audiences use social media to distribute their own content and messages, including complaints about the media, but they also use those platforms to consume and share media.…”

This study examined 286 stories posted about the Black Lives Matter movement and protests following George Floyd’s death by the six most-viewed U.S. news outlets on Facebook during summer 2020. These organizations published a significant amount of content, though the frequency declined throughout the summer. Stories mostly framed protesters positively and police negatively. Organizations regularly used law/crime spot news to frame protests. The findings may signal a potential shift away from the media’s protest paradigm.

“…Journalists, like scientists, must have their content approved by their editors, albeit peer review procedures are more complicated than a simple one-step binary accept/reject approach (Wang et al, 2016). Personal background, experience, attitudes, and beliefs among other internal factors, strongly influence editors' decisions in both fields, as well as extrinsic factors, like the increasing competitive pressure of the media industry (Rusdi and Rusdi, 2020), a reality that can be also recognized in the academy. As assumed by Yoder (2021), who served as editor of Sex Roles and Psychology of Women Quarterly for 5 years, values and understandings guided her editorial decisions; she firmly believes that in editorial decisions the individual's social context matters.…”

The 5th goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims at promoting gender equality and empowering all women and girls at all levels of decision making. This includes editorial decisions in the frame of the dissemination of scientific knowledge as a result of research and development activities. This work analyses the women representation in the editorial boards of 53 subscription or open access geology journals of all quartile rankings included in the Web of Science Core Collection™ in 2020 in order to assess how far female geoscientists are from the 2030 Agenda targets concerning gender equality. Among the analyzed journals, in 85% the position of editor(s)-in-chief is (are) occupied by a man or a group of men, and in the remaining 15% by women. Moreover, 80% of the people that make up the editorial board of the same journals are men and 20% are women. Only one journal indicates the editor(s)-in-chief gender and the number of members per gender that make up the editorial board. The strong gender gap detected in this study shows that the goal of gender equality in the editorial boards of geological journals still remains a long way off, and publishers should therefore increase gender diversity in editorial teams and referee pools.
