Perkembangan internet di Indonesia yang sangat pesat menyebabkan bisnis media online juga bertumbuh cepat. Namun hal ini menimbulkan masalah antara lain minimnya kualitas dan kredibilitas informasi yang sampai ke masyarakat. Selain itu etika jurnalistik juga kurang diperhatikan oleh para jurnalis media online. Informasi yang belum final terverifikasi sudah sampai kepada masyarakat luas sehingga menimbulkan mis-persepsi dan mis-interpretasi. Salah satu diantaranya adalah isu berita pelarangan berjilbab pada perekrutan karyawan BUMN. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang objektifitas berita dan etika jurnalistik di media online tentang perekrutan karyawan BUMN. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis isi dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa beberapa situs berita online seperti Okezone.com, Sindonews.com, Goriau.com, Tribunnews.com, Harianterbit dan Republika Online awalnya memuat informasi yang berasal dari hanya satu sumber yaitu akun Twitter @estiningsihdwi tentang pelarangan berjilbab pada rekrutmen karyawan BUMN tanpa memastikan kebenaran atau keaslian dokumen yang diposting akun tersebut. Objektivitas seperti tidak ada cek dan ricek, berpihak pada satu pihak, tidak cover both sides dan tidak berimbang juga terjadi dalam pemberitaan. Meski beberapa situs media ini kemudian akhirnya memberikan klarifikasi dari Kementerian BUMN yang membantah isu tersebut.
