The number of misinformation cases in online media made the Indonesian government along with volunteers to form a national media literacy movement, named #SiBerkreasi. However, the understanding of media literacy by the #SiBerkreasi movement is still limited to the application of rules and not literacy. Using a literature review, this paper criticizes #SiBerkreasi as a media literacy movement in Indonesia. The analysis starts by critiquing the understanding of media literacy in Indonesia looking at the context of Indonesian diverse society. The results show that media literacy in Indonesia is still understood from a positivism point of view where literacy teaches only what is positive and what is negative. As a result, #SiBerkreasi movement does not even touch the critical area of how media literacy should be understood in a diverse society. Beyond the #SiBerkreasi case, this work considers the role of social context and society in creating information.
This paper analyzes the way of understanding and patterns of human interactions while using social media as constitutively entangled with the social practice and affordances of the technology that being carried out. Based on theoretical accounts we frame using media as socially and materially mediated. Using online ethnography, we see the different socio-material practice between the pro-LGBTQ and the anti-LGBTQ groups on Facebook regarding to the LGBTQ as a controversial issue in Indonesia. We analyse performative practices to see how the affordances of Facebook are enacted in co-producing the understanding of LGBTQ issues in both group. Although the issues discussed is the same issue in both Facebook groups, the socio-material practices that occur are different between the pro-LGBTQ and the anti-LGBTQ group. The data is collected from both groups using online observation in the period of March 2016 as the beginning of LGBTQ issues become a huge issue in Indonesia until July 2018 when LGBTQ was being criminalized by the Draft of the Criminal Code of Indonesia. As a result, we can see that the interaction pattern in both groups is different, depending on the issues that are being discussed and how the users perform the technology. The social practice is related to affordances and human interaction in a process that is constitutively entangled and performative.

Sejak era reformasi, dunia media massa Indonesia mengalami perubahan mendasar. Perubahan tersebut dengan sendirinya mengubah mediascape Indonesia yang membawa masyarakat Indonesia menjadi masyarakat yang sesak-media. Pelaksana pengumpul informasi adalah wartawan. Merekalah yang menentukan berbobot tidaknya media massa tempat mereka bekerja. Namun di balik itu, permasalahan yang menyangkut dunia kewartawanan masih banyak, di antaranya dinilai nyaris tidak beretika dan keluar dari koridor moral. Lantas timbul pertanyaan bagaimanakah pandangan para wartawan sendiri terhadap profesionalisme? Untuk menjawabnya, penulis membedahnya dengan pendekatan deskriptif tradisi kualitatif. Melalui wawancara mendalam dan pengamatan berperanserta kepada 30 wartawan yang bertugas di Kota Bandung dan sekaligus dijadikan informan. Hasilnya menunjukan, profesionalisme bisa dikategorikan ke dalam empat varian yaitu otonomi, komitmen, keahlian dan tanggung jawab. Namun saat hendak menjalankan varian tersebut di lapangan, terganjal aspek-aspek yang turut serta mewarnai saat wartawan bertugas.
