Introduction
In an era defined by the rapid evolution of technology, the landscape of news and information delivery has undergone a profound transformation (Kurniasih, 2021).Information is now seamlessly transmitted through an array of devices, including portable mobile devices, computer sets, and servers.This unprecedented accessibility to information has facilitated its swift assimilation within communities, underscoring the inherent advantages of user-friendly technological platforms, particularly those accessible through website applications.The emergence of News Portals, a category of applications designed to cater to news consumption, exemplifies this paradigm shift.These versatile applications, readily available for download on both PCs and smartphones via Android or IOS application stores, offer users an unparalleled media experience.However, as this technological landscape advances, the nuances of this medium often elude many individuals within the media industry.This knowledge gap underscores the significance of imparting education to the broader community, shedding light on the intricacies and importance of the industry.As part of our community service initiative, our goal is to empower individuals with limited exposure to news portals, specifically targeting the residents of Komplek Kebersihan Street 13th Neighbourhood 10th Hamlet in Cengkareng, West Jakarta.The scope of this endeavor encompasses elucidating the concepts of news portals, websites, and journalism.
In the realm of journalism, the principles of accuracy, integrity, and ethical reporting hold paramount importance.The role of a journalist, as defined in the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), encompasses the collection and composition of news for both print and electronic media (Putri, 2021).This community service initiative also aims to provide insights into the rigorous standards of journalism, emphasizing the responsibility of journalists to disseminate accurate and reliable information (Basuki, 1993).
