Negative effect of media coverage of celebrities or infotainment on children

The infotainment project is a sexy project. Infotainment can reap a lot of benefits, because of more people like it, the more ads that come in. However, processed in any way, infotainment does not seem worthy of being called a journalistic creation, because it can be said that infotainment has not touched the public interest and is doubtful of providing benefits.

Infotainment products that are judged to be incompatible with journalistic products that must emphasize objectivity, factuality, and freedom of opinion both in writing and broadcasting news. Infotainment products do not prioritize journalistic rules and only spread disgrace, slander, and do not cover the boat side like journalistic creation. in the form of rumours or gossip, the discussion is all-out. Meanwhile, one of the Indonesian journalistic codes of ethics states that Indonesian journalists should not spread slander, disgrace and false news.

Today's infotainment shows are accused of having more negative effects on society, especially children and teenagers. Various parties who broadcast infotainment should be wise in releasing and sorting the news that is broadcast and considering the extent of the benefits for the audience and not only targeting turnover and ratings.

Selling gossip and disgrace has become like the mainstay of infotainment. The news presented is not far from the breakup of an artist's relationship because there is a third person, the breakup of an artist's household or a famous person because it is suspected that there is a third person, the seizure of the artist's property, the artist who is affected by the case drugs, celebrities who marry rich widows, and other news that has the same essence, namely messing around in privacy and spreading gossip and disgrace.

Infotainment is also accused of being the cause of the rise of hedonistic lifestyles among teenagers. Hedonism is a view of life which assumes that pleasure and material enjoyment are the main goals of life. For adherents of this view, having fun, revelry, and pleasure is the main goal of life, whether it is pleasing to others or not. Because they think that this life is only once, so they feel like they want to enjoy life very much.

Infotainment that broadcasts the glamorous life of celebrities gives impetus to teenagers to do the same. They want to imitate their idol in their lifestyle, their fashion, and everything about their idol. Sometimes because of insufficient economic capacity, these teenagers seek shortcuts to satisfy their pleasure fantasies which he imitates from their idol celebrities. So they fall into negative things such as willing to sell themselves, or become drug dealers.
