Keywords:
Religious Moderation, Journalism, Cyber CultureAbstract
This article aims to analyze the role of local journalism in building a harmonious cyber culture through religious moderation information. The regulation of heterogeneity is still a challenge for the Indonesian nation. This is marked by many cases that reflect conservative and intolerant attitudes in society. Ideally, Indonesia has noble religious moderation stories such as Pancasila, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika and several other records of struggle. The urgency of this research is to look at the role of Waspada Online in educating the virtual public through religious moderation stories. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Sumber data primerin this article are four selected news in Waspada Online while the secondary data used are books, scientific articles and reportage. The collected data will be analyzed using Teun A. Van Dijk's version of critical discourse analysis techniques. It was then reanalyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique. The results showed that Bhinneka Tunggal Ika which became the motto of the Indonesian nation was a treasure in the form of a story of unity. The philosophical values contained in it are able to accommodate the interests of heterogeneity that exist in Indonesia. The author also found that from several selected news, Waspada Online paid attention to the saga of religious moderation which was marked by several news. Local media such as Waspada Online have several tasks to create a harmonic cyber culture including: 1) Balanced News, 2) Emphasis on Common Values, 3) Exploration of Positive Practices, 4) Interviews with Moderation Figures, 5) Collaboration with Religious Communities, 6) Educational and Information Approaches and 7) Exchange of Ideas and Dialogue. Local media plays a role as a shaper of harmony in the midst of heterogeneity. Local media not only pay attention to potential conflicts, but also take responsibility for creating collective intelligence for the community.
