First, in the video about natural tornado disaster occurring at SMPN 4 Rancaeke, it can explain how important to take a video of incidents and journalists have an important role in it. Second, various meanings that can arise in the interpretation of signs on the video about natural disasters which do not only reveal a single message about the ideology behind the myths presented. The major information obtained keeps using the ideology of capitalism as an ideology used by stakeholders concerned with the dissemination of information through the media. If it is connected to the practice of Citizen Journlism with the dissemination of information in the mass media, it is very relevant.
