MINAT JURNALIS KOMPAS TV MELIPUT BERITA INVESTIGASI

Abstract

Interest is the encouragement or desire of someone pleasant, can provide satisfaction, and become
energy to increase morale when carrying out work. So far, reporting investigative news is still considered to be a
high-cost, time-consuming report because it requires a long time, high difficulty, and great risk. This, of course,
causes low interest in becoming investigative news journalists, because it requires strong capital requirements,
tenacity, and patience that journalists must have in carrying out investigative news coverage. This research was
conducted using a qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews, participating in daily operational
activities of the data sources, and based on existing documentation. The purpose of this study is to find out how
interested Kompas TV journalists are in covering Investigation News. Based on the research results, it was
found that the interest of Kompas TV journalists in covering investigative news in the program "File Kompas"
with high enthusiasm resulted in many awards that have been obtained. Cognitive personal interest in covering
investigative news was owned when they were in college, then strengthened during an internship. Then, the
affective element is obtained from daily interactions as well as activities in the journalist community of Kompas
TV
