Abstract

For some people, a disaster is something that is avoided, but not for a journalist, a disaster is a magnet in itself to do coverage from the closest distance. The profession as a journalist is at the forefront, between life or news, a tough choice and requires complete mental preparation. For this reason, psychological defensiveness for journalists is needed in covering themselves, especially disaster coverage. This research provides an overview of what journalists must prepare for disaster reporting, so that the soul will be stronger and the process of covering news will be much better. Merapi Eruption October 26, 2010 was the biggest disaster in history after 1872. This cycle was called 1000 years of Merapi eruption.
