Surat kabar acuan (newspaper of record) adalah surat kabar besar yang memiliki sirkulasi besar, fungsi editorial dan pengumpulan beritanya dianggap profesional dan biasanya dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Sebuah surat kabar acuan bisa juga muncul dalam bentuk surat kabar masyarakat yang diizinkan atau dioperasikan oleh pemerintah untuk menerbitkan pemberitahuan masyarakat atau pemberitahuan hukum, lantas layak disebut "surat kabar acuan masyarakat".[1]

The New York Times Building di New York City; istilah "surat kabar acuan" awalnya mengacu pada The New York Times

Makna lain sunting

"Surat kabar acuan" jenis kedua (disebut juga "harian acuan" atau Presse de référence dalam bahasa Prancis) tidak memiliki kriteria resmi dan ciri-cirinya beragam. Jenis kedua ini terdiri dari surat kabar yang dianggap memiliki standar jurnalisme tinggi ketimbang media cetak lainnya, termasuk kebebasan editorial dan akurasinya, dan biasanya terkenal di seluruh dunia.[2][3] Meski masyarakat mengalami perubahan, surat kabar seperti ini sejak dulu memiliki gaya, model liputan, dan tradisi yang sama.[2]

Asal istilah sunting

Istilah ini diyakini bermula di kalangan pustakawan yang menyebut The New York Times sebagai "surat kabar acuan" setelah harian tersebut menerbitkan indeks topik artikelnya pada tahun 1913.[4] Untuk meramaikan penggunaan istilah ini, The Times mengadakan kontes esai pada tahun 1927 dengan topik "Nilai Indeks dan Berkas The New York Times Sebagai Surat Kabar Acuan". The Times dan harian sejenisnya kemudian merangkum berbagai peristiwa, pengumuman, jadwal, direktori, proseding, transkrip, dan rapat setiap harinya. The Times saat ini tidak lagi tergolong surat kabar acuan menurut makna aslinya.[5]

Seiring waktu, sejarawan mulai bergantung pada The Times dan koran lainnya sebagai sumber arsip peristiwa lampau yang tepercaya sekaligus kumpulan opini masyarakat pada tiap tahun terbitnya. Istilah "surat kabar acuan" lantas berubah dari makna aslinya menjadi makna umum yang dipahami saat ini.[4]

Today, the Irish Times is one of Ireland’s most authoritative journals – the newspaper of record for political and intellectual elites from Mayo to Monkstown. Mark O’Brien provides a detailed and colourful account of this transformation. His history of the Irish Times is also the story of modern Ireland: it tracks the newspaper’s sceptical response to the emergence of the Free State in 1922 and the declaration of the Republic in 1949; it also examines its fractious relationship with the nation’s governments and political figureheads from Eamon de Valera (whom the paper repeatedly compared to Hitler) to Bertie Ahern.
