This study investigates the production processes and camerawork techniques within the Fokus news program of PT Indosiar Visual Mandiri Tbk, one of Indonesia’s leading television broadcasters. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws upon in-depth interviews and field observations involving three key informants: one coordinator of cameramen and two field cameramen. The findings reveal that camerawork in television news production is a structured yet adaptive process that integrates technical precision, situational judgment, and narrative awareness. Preparation and coordination before field deployment are vital stages, involving meticulous equipment checks and crew communication. In the field, cameramen must interpret the situation quickly and apply compositional techniques to produce visuals that support the news narrative. The coordinator functions as an organisational gatekeeper who ensures the consistency of production standards and editorial identity. The study concludes that cameramen play a crucial role as both technical experts and visual storytellers, bridging institutional expectations with field realities. This research contributes to a broader understanding of production culture in Indonesian broadcast journalism and highlights the significance of visual communication in constructing credible television news narratives.
