“…The majority of "good" news stories were entertaining and emotional, whereas the majority of New York Times stories involved authority figures and conflict. Good news stories were less committed to journalism's core functions, such as holding power accountable and providing the public with information necessary for creating an informed electorate (McIntyre, 2016).…”

This research studies the digital media consumption pattern of journalists. This consumption pattern is done by journalists to support their job. The work pattern of journalists in finding news fundamentally depends on the credibility of the sources. The process of choosing sources and finding ideas and information is usually done conventionally, thus presently done through social media. This study was conducted by surveying 60 journalists in Jakarta. The method used for data analysis was descriptive statistics. Results showed that the majority of respondents had a high social media usage pattern; thus, it can be said that social media carries a great influence toward the work pattern of journalists. This can be seen from the majority of respondents who admitted that they had written about growing issues in social media as news in conventional media; they even admitted to interviewing some sources because they monitored their opinions and comments on social media. The type of journalists who became respondents in Jabodetabek were creators, conversationalists and Joiners; the rest participated by consuming social medias and collecting informations. Journalists in this position acted only as consumers.

“…Not all new events become news. There is a tough selection process that determines what becomes news; this is based on criteria that are called news values, such as geographical proximity, cultural affinity and degree of spectacularity or danger/risk (McIntyre 2016). This process is determined by an editorial logic, which follows traditions and ways of working within the journalistic profession, resulting in a specific set of topics that typically become news.…”

“…They are proximity, prominence, timeliness, oddity, consequence, conflict, human interest, extremes/superlatives, scandal, and impact. McIntyre (2016) in "What Makes 'Good' News Newsworthy?" and Lee and Chyi, (2014) offer the same line of arguments, although they add to it the value of a news story, which they put at the top of the list, saying it underpins any newsworthy event.…”

The notion of 'information occasion' is one of the basic notions in research works and the professional discourse of journalists and PR experts. We will consider various interpretations of the 'information occasion' term in journalism in Russia and other countries. Our objective is to compare its usage in different spheres for the purpose of its theoretic comprehension as a key notion in mass communications theory. Analysis of research literature on journalism and public relations helped us produce a continuous sampling of terms corresponding to or being synonymous with the 'information occasion'. Comparative analysis allowed to compare them and to establish the differences and concurrences of meanings. The method of classification made it possible to range approaches to the understanding of 'information occasions' as an instrument of journalism and public relations. Analysis of Russian and foreign research literature shows that Russian journalists and PR specialists use practically only one term -'information occasion'. The terms one that comes across in foreign sources include 'newsworthy event', 'newsworthiness', 'information subject', 'newsbreaks topicality'. Also, the essence of this term in journalism and public relations differs considerably. Given the current globalization of international activities and the prospective internationalization of the training of journalists, specialists in PR and integrated mass communications under dual programs, as well as the student exchanges, it is important to study and compare the different approaches in curricula and the contents of the education process and, in addition to it, the stocks of professional terms adopted in different countries.
