immediately. But usually the news producers can only post them after they get the consent from the owner of the videos. To overcome hoaxes, all coverage that will go on-air must go through the editorial meeting mechanism. During the meeting, they should choose valid or credible sources of the information. After that, they should reverify and determine which ones are worth to go on-air. Perhaps, this mechanism can be a deterrent for hoax news if it is applied for every television news. Conclusion The information of the news coverage in the mainstream media that were retrieved from social media is sometimes a separate trap for news program stakeholders because it is not impossible that at many times, circulating or viral information is actually hoax information and disseminated for the purpose of certain interests. The principle of journalism in determining its news and packaging must be based on news value because it risks the credibility of the news itself. Without confirmation and verification, journalism in Indonesia is threatened to report hoaxes. REFERENCES Dainton, Marianne and Zelley, Elaine D. 2011.
