Handling hoaxes is the responsibility of journalism, and Digital Journalism must act as
a beacon of accurate information in society. Ethical and reliable journalism fosters a
healthy cycle of information dissemination. The rapid and widespread accessibility of
information on social media inundates the public with unverified content. Mainstream
media outlets have adopted strategies to maintain speed while upholding the quality
of their coverage. One effective approach employed by online media is the media
incubator strategy, where subdomains are developed under the main domain to swiftly
gather information from various regions, including PR FM and Minds of the People
Media Networks (PRMN). Consequently, the Community Service Program (PKM) with
a focus on editorial targets in media subdomains at PR FM and PRMN becomes
vital. This initiative involved providing training by technology practitioners, press
professionals, and academics from Fikom Unisba. The training emphasized online and
digital journalism, with a strong emphasis on journalistic ethics in news and feature
writing, as well as utilizing technology for news reporting.
The results of this activity demonstrated a significant improvement in the cognitive
insight of the journalists, as evident from the difference in pre-test and post-test scores
conducted before and after the training.
