Abstract

The technological advancement in the new media and internet creates a new place for the news media to extend their reach to their readers with the online news. The way how the online news gains profit is pretty different from the conventional news that uses the subscription and print ads, but instead, they gain profit from the ad revenue that they get from the number of the “clicks” their readers made. These things create the “clickbait” phenomenon in the online media journalistic, where the online news site often gives their news a sensational and misleading headline that didn’t actually match their presented news content, only to “baiting” the click from their readers for the revenue. This phenomenon can cause a misunderstanding to the Indonesian readers and netizens that often judge the news based only on their headline. While the previous studies and research of the phenomenon have begun to accumulate, they mostly only examine it from their point of view in the English-language digital news site, there is not much research found that addresses the clickbait phenomenon from the Indonesian-language digital news site. This paper goal is trying to examine the clickbait phenomenon and exploring the potential method for detecting the “clickbait” in the Indonesian online news site. After researching the literature using the literature research and surveying the characteristic of many Indonesian news sites that contain a clickbait article, all the finding conclude the suggestion that using an approach based on combining the characteristic of the clickbait news is may give the best result for detection.
