INTRODUCTIO
Indonesia t1;IS a high potential for natural disasters (Bndan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencann 2016).
Several st dies have shown that areas in Indonesia are at high risk of experiencing disasters, including West Java (Ishak 20 II: Ruswandi et
at.
2008).We~
Java Province is one of the most populous pr e~. and has a high potential for disaster. so efforts are needed to minimize the impact of disasters with adequate disaster information liu9uey (Marlyono etat.
2016).Reporting on disasters is a challenge for Journalists. Journalists in reporti11g on disasters also place themselves as victims for reponing in dangerous zones thai could lhre:uen their lives.

persuasive in reporting images to encourage sensitivity in the community (Cottle 2013).ln lndonesi~ journalists must be sensitive to disasters by promoting sensitive disaster journalism (Sukmono & Junaedi 20 18). Journalists have a big role and responsibility in disaster events (Sanusi 20 18). In covering disaster, journalists are reqmred 10 prioritize ethics by presenting actual facts that have occurred at the disaster site (Panuju 20 18). The mass media. especially television, is an important part of covering traumatic events such as disasters (Juditha 20 16). Journalists are required to be the first to reach the disaster site, and thus be able to provide information to officials to follow up and provide assistance (Sreedharan el
at .
20 19). However, television journalists in disaster events are more difficult than other journalists (Rochimah & Junaedi 2014). For this re11Son, information technology plays an important role in assisting television journalism in reporting on disaster sites.Television media compete to present news quickly, especially live broadcasts (Haryanto 2018). ln reponing on disasters in West Java, television stations use several technologies 10 obtain videos or pictures directly from the location of the disaster. The latest live broadcasts and videos of the location of the incident played a role in disseminating infon11ation as well as ensuring the: areas that needed to be evacuated. Based on this background, this research to reveal interpretation of television journalists utilizing smartpbone technology on reporting disaster.
