extent, Indonesia's fake news ecology. Moreover, the present study provides insights into the Indonesian checking model that is comparatively different from the existing Western fact-checking model, including the relationship between newsroom and third-party fact-check organizations.
With regard to the practical contributions, this research offers useful insights for news and fact-checking professionals to evaluate their practices in handling fake news. As the nature of this research is non-political, news and fact-check professionals can evaluate their performance when fake news is related to politics and when they are not. Professionals can then make changes to their guidelines in handling fake news and strengthen their position as gatekeepers. Additionally, this study may provide insights to the government to evaluate the current fake news situations in Indonesia, and what they could do to further support the country's news and fact-checking profession.
7.4 Limitations and Future Study
The researcher recognizes that this research has several limitations that can be addressed in the future study. First, this research examined three news media organizations to represent major categories of Indonesia’s media industry but does not cover other types of news media, such as local smaller news media. Thus, this research may not fully represent the whole Indonesia’s media industry approach on fake news. Secondly, this research also does not go in-depth on newsrooms’
fact-checkers, this study provides insights on fact-checking practices in the newsroom but more research is still needed to address news media’s fact-checkers. In addition, as most post-Palu disaster fake news is circulated online, there is a big chance that some posts are not visible due to privacy settings, deleted posts, and posts that are skipped due to keywords used. Therefore, this

study is only limited to the data the researcher was able to obtain online and used to analyze information flow and patterns.
To address these limitations, a future study on this topic can further investigate news professionals from a more diverse background. The study can aim to investigate fake news practices of news professionals working for smaller or local media groups. Secondly, studies related to the changing role and expectation of news media to act as both journalists and fact-checkers. This could enrich understanding on the current situation in Indonesian newsrooms and how journalists keep up with the demands. Next, the study on the relationship between Indonesian third-party fact-checkers with newsroom fact-checkers could be examined too, specifically in the context of collaboration. The study could further elaborate the emergence of this innovative collaboration and how the concept of “independence” was formed or retained. Lastly, the study between third-party fact-checking and restoring trust in Indonesian public could also be examined to understand the influence of independent fact-checking and how it was perceived by the public.
