ABSTRACT
This research focuses on diversity issues of ethnicity, race, religion, and societal groups, in the journalistic text of four cyber media, i.e. Kompas.com, Tribunnews.com, detik.com, and Viva.co.id. The news coverage on diversity issues shows the attention of cyber media to the different values of groups, tribes, religions and race in a unity bond, or otherwise, it triggers potential conflict. The research problem is how the cyber media report diversity issues on the basis of news coverage norms. The research purpose is to describe and analyze diversity issues in the cyber media in relation to (1) main news sources in news coverage; (2) the essence of news coverage in diversity issues; (3) neutrality in news coverage; and (4) themes of news coverage in diversity issues. The research was carried out with the case study methods through content analysis, in-depth interview, online survey and Focus Group Discussion. The physical research objects are news coverage on diversity issues in the cyber media, and the research subjects are cyber media journalists. The research results are that major news sources in the news coverage differ significantly; the news coverage does not totally support the diversity; there remains un-neutrality in the news coverage; the news coverage themes are various; and the elements are not ideal and appropriate to the cyber media ethics.
