This study aims to analyze the journalistic activities of online media in covering three candidates for the 2024 presidential election in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative research approach with qualitative data analysis software, the research draws data from reputable online media sources in Indonesia. Findings reveal that, based on nine indicators of journalistic objectivity, Detik.com and Kompas.com exhibit differing patterns. Detik.com scores highest in factuality, with a percentage of 18%, while Kompas.com reaches 16%. Conversely, Detik.com's lowest indicator is justice at 3%, and Kompas.com's is honesty at 6%. Notably, honesty scores relatively low across both platforms. Regarding coverage focus, Detik.com tends to prioritize Ganjar Pranowo, whereas Kompas.com allocates attention to Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto. Additionally, Detik.com's news narrative predominantly emphasizes survey results, while Kompas.com delves more into the ideas, vision, and mission of the presidential candidates. These findings underscore variations in journalistic objectivity and coverage trends between Detik.com and Kompas.com in informing the public about the 2024 presidential election.
