EXAMINING THE ORIGINALITY OF STUDENTS’ POPULAR WRITING PUBLISHED IN ONLINE MEDIA

Siti Maryam, Imam Jahrudin Priyanto, Cecep Nuryadin

Abstract


The background of this research lies in the high level of plagiarism, despite the fact that originality is a crucial aspect of academic writing. As an initial step, this study examines originality in the form of students’ popular writing that serves as the outcome of lecture activities. The purpose of this study is to describe the originality reflected in students’ popular articles published in online mass media. As novice writers, students develop their writing based on personal experiences, news, opinions, historical accounts, and interviews, and present it in a narrative style. This study employs a qualitative approach with documentation as the primary data collection technique. The data consist of students’ popular writings published online and are analyzed based on macro-structural elements. The findings indicate that the level of originality in students’ popular writing is high, both in terms of content and writing style. The content of the writing is expected to fulfill its social function, namely to motivate, inspire, and provide positive examples for the community. The narrative style generally follows a chronological structure, beginning with the introduction of the main character, developing through a sequence of events, and ending with a conclusion. The publication of these popular writings in online mass media is an important step for students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Program at Suryakancana University, Cianjur, to demonstrate openness and responsibility in presenting their academic and creative identity.
