Abstract

The 2019 general election was an important and interesting moment to document. And documentation in the form of photo journalism can be an important form. Pasangmata.com, as one form of citizen media, facilitates mata mata (a call for citizen journalist of PasangMata.com) to produce documentation about anything, including the 2019 general election moment. Of course, as a journalistic product, the journalistic values in a photograph involve informative, factual, human interest and pictorial quality also must be fulfilled. Using the content analysis method of 75 photos on 17 April 2019, it is found that most of the photos fulfilled its informational aspects, yet there is a small number of photos with incomplete informative aspects (11 out of 75 photos). All photos have factual nature and some of them have human interest by highlighting the interesting side as the other side surrounding the 2019 general election. As a citizen journalism practice, PasangMata.com is able to be an extension of the media to capture events / moments around and at once to raise issues that sometimes are not on the mainstream media agenda.
