Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus, dan datadikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, serta kajian literatur.

Momen kritis jurnalisme yang ditimbulkan oleh pandemisemakin mengakselerasi penggunaan media sosial dalam praktik jurnalistik hingga pada tarafketergantungan. Ketergantungan ini menjadi problem dalam jurnalisme mengingat informasimedia sosial yang dijadikan sumber berita merupakan hasil produksi warga yang tidak memilikikompetensi profesional dalam jurnalisme.
