Abstract

Media globalization encourages the development of media convergence in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The growth of media convergence and the impacts of globalization waves have caused many media industry companies to halt their print media production, shifting their focus to providing online media platforms, which in turn has fostered the emergence of citizen journalists. This paper discusses the position of citizen journalists and the assurance of press publisher rights, while emphasizing that media should not exploit citizen journalists within the media capitalism system. Utilizing a juridical-normative research method, with a conceptual comparative and legislative approach, this research posits that it is necessary to conceptualize press publisher rights for citizen journalists in future legislation through the application of Human Rights Theory based on Pancasila. Media industry companies are also mandated to align with the Pancasila economic system, and not continue with the media capitalism economic model. The current practice sees the position of citizen journalists with the content generated, seemingly replacing capital in media capitalism, as media industry companies can no longer leverage advertisements in print media, utilize opinion columns or community works, nor the sales of print media. Based on the Pancasila economic system concept, press industry companies should not solely prioritize revenue for the company, but also consider the weight of information content, as well as the economic rights of citizen journalists as citizens who are entitled to compensation or wages in accordance with their performance, as guaranteed in constitutional rights.
