COVID-19 pandemic forces global news industry to adapt with current situation. In some Global South countries, the challenge also comes from existing political instability and economic limitation. Indonesia represents a Global South country where its journalists are sacrificed in order to save media companies. This paper shows a survey data with 100 respondents, some interviews and observations. All of them indicate that in COVID-19 situation, journalists have been severely impacted and they are not sufficiently equipped and prepared to face accelerated and sudden changes caused by the plague. However, in some instance, some local journalists from several media are able to work collaboratively to provide quality information during the pandemic. It suggests that collaborative work should be supported in order to enhance resilience of journalists community. |
