Furthermore.Seventh, according to Andung, Qorib, and Ghofur (2021) the study shows that the application of the journalistic code of ethics in Post Kupang.com and Timor Ekspress.commedia still contains violations in article 4, article 5, and article 8 regarding articles related to sexual harassment.

So, this research is different from the news exposure above.First, this study emphasizes more on how to deliver sexual violence news contained in the online news portal Liputan6.com.Second, this difference uses a qualitative approach, researchers make observations on the news website Liputan6.com.
The reasons for choosing the subject Protection of Sexual Violence News Sources are as follows.First, the protection of sources of sexual violence is included in the article of the Journalistic Code of Ethics regulations of the Press Council.Second, because there are still sources of sexual violence that are not properly protected by journalists, so the masses will judge themselves.Fourth, there are still many employees who reveal the identity of the perpetrators of crimes and photographs of victims of crime, especially on television news.
The reasons for choosing Liputan6.comare as follows.First, Liputan6 is a news portal that is registered and verified by the Indonesian Press Council.Second, Liputan6 is included in the ranks of the 5 biggest portals.Third, because it has many news channels.Fourth, the coverage site6 is one of the online news sites that is very fast in updating the latest news.The International International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).IFCN verification is only given to media organizations that regularly publish non-partisan news reports involving public figures, major institutions, and the accuracy of statements disseminated in the community.Verification is carried out through a long process, including through external parties.Fifth, Liputan6.comhas many readers, so its influence in society is also getting bigger.
The basic theories that support this research are the theory of sexual violence, the theory of the journalistic code of ethics, and the theory of the protection of sources.Theories regarding sexual violence are as follows.First, according to Winarsunu ( 2008), sexual harassment is in all kinds of forms with sexual connotations that are carried out unilaterally and are not desired by the victim.Second, according to Collier (1998), sexual harassment is any behavior of a sexual nature that can occur by all women and unwanted events.Third, according to Rubenstein (in Collier, 1998), sexual harassment is sexual behavior that can offend the recipient.
The theory of the journalistic code of ethics is as follows.First, according to Wibowo (2008), journalism ethics regulates the reporting and publishing process, starting from idea discovery, information gathering, writing, and editing to publishing journalistic works.Second, according to Barus (2010), the code of ethics is a moral and work ethic guide set by professional organizations to prevent professional organization member from carrying out practices that are detrimental to the profession and society.Third, Santana in the book Contemporary Journalism (2017), defines a journalistic code of ethics as a set of moral principles that reflect the rules that all journalists must obey.
The theory regarding the protection of sources is as follows.First, according to Belsey and Chadwick (1992), the availability of an anonymous status option is accompanied by the right to refuse journalists revealing the source's identity to the public and the law.Second, according to Harsono (2010), the identity of the informant will be kept secret by the press until the informant opens it himself or there is an intentional dissemination of wrong information by the informant.Third, according to Septiawan (2018) in the context of news sources, anonymity occurs because the informant does not refer to himself as a certain person.
This study also uses the basic theory from the book Indonesian Journalism Writing News and Accuracy.According to Budiwanto (2012: 43) "accuracy or accuracy is the ability of a person to direct a movement to a target by the goal or make a move without making a mistake."In disseminating information, the press is obliged to place the public interest above the interests of individuals or groups.The press does not publish information that is less accurate, misleading, or distorted; This provision also applies to photos and images.If it is found that the information published or broadcast is found to be inaccurate, misleading, or distorted, then correction must be made immediately if necessary accompanied by a policy.The press is obliged to distinguish between comments, allegations, and facts.The press broadcasts in a balanced and accurate manner all matters concerning disputes involving two parties.The press is critical of news sources and studies the facts carefully. b.
Privacy.According to Dibyo Hartono (1986), privacy is a level of interaction or openness to other people desired by someone in certain situations or conditions.Everyone has the right to respect their privacy as well as their family, household, health, and confidentiality of their letters.
The press must be careful and refrain from publishing or broadcasting information that can be categorized as violating privacy unless it is in the public interest.Editors must ensure that their journalists comply with all these provisions and do not publish material from sources that do not meet these requirements.f.Confidential Sources The Press has a moral obligation to protect sources of confidential or confidential information.
g. Right of Reply and Denial.The right to reply to inaccurate news must be respected.
From the above theory, the researcher concludes that a journalist must have such a scope, and the researcher takes one of the scopes according to Haris Sumadiria, namely, crime coverage as a research instrument in the observation of the online media portal liputan6.com.

The research method used by the researcher is a qualitative approach.For data collection, researchers used observation.Researchers made observations on the online media news portal Liputan6.comby taking 12 articles in a year.Article retrieval starts from November 2021 to October 2022.Observations are made on one article per month.The articles used for observation are articles about sexual violence.

According to Bogdan and Taylor quoted by Lexy.J. Moleong, a qualitative approach is a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words.Qualitative methods emphasize phenomena that occur with words or sentences that can give or have a strong influence.
Therefore, Basri (2014) concludes that the focus of qualitative research is on the process and the meaning of the results.The attention of qualitative research is more focused on human elements, objects, and institutions, as well as the relationship or interaction between these elements, to understand an event, behavior, or phenomenon (Mohamed, Abdul Majid & Ahmad, 2010).The reason why researchers choose qualitative methods, according to Soffaer (1999) qualitative research not only fulfills the researcher's desire to get an overview/explanation but also helps to get a deeper explanation.
Researchers also want to know and prove in the form of a description.
To collect data on the topic to be studied, Gill et. al. (2008)  witnesses and avoid identifying family or friends who are accused or suspected of committing crimes without their consent.The author did not identify the name of the child of the victim of sexual violence.
The author also did not mention the names of the perpetrators of sexual violence.The second article, "Komnas Perempuan: Kasus Novia Widyasari Alarm Keras Kekerasan Seksual" was published on December 8, 2021.In that article the author violated one of the scopes of the professional code of ethics, namely "Criminal Coverage" and "Secret Source" The author mentions the full name of the victim sexual violence, it can even be seen from the title of the article, the author also mentions the full name of the perpetrator of sexual violence.The author also displays photos of perpetrators of sexual violence.
