Abstract

Mediatization has become more relevant in exploring relations between media and politics in post-Suharto Indonesia. However, the media's roles as the fourth estate of democracy has been hijacked by wealthy politicians and political parties. As a result, most mainstream media have failed to enhance public dabates democratically. Based on existing mediatization literature, politico-economy analysis, and data collected through extensive in-depth interviews and relevant documents in the 2013-2015 period, this article theoretically aims to develop the mediatization concept and explore the degree of mediatization of politics in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the pattern of issue formation and narratives that developed on social media during the implementation of the West Sumatra (West Sumatra) Regional Head Election (Pilkada) in 2024. The main focus of this research is to identify how key issues are raised and processed in conversations on social media and to understand the role of key actors in shaping political narratives. Content analysis methods and social networks are used to study patterns of interaction and information distribution on various social media platforms. The results show that certain issues are more prominent in influencing public opinion and get high user engagement, especially on themes related to local identity, regional policies, and political party dynamics. This finding is expected to contribute to understanding political dynamics in the digital era and the impact of social media on the formation of public opinion during the Regional Election process. In addition, the results of this research can be a reference for the government, political practitioners, and the public in managing political issues and narratives that develop on social media.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in the scholarship on the mediatization of political parties at the local level in post-Suharto Indonesia, namely the limited attention to how party–media interactions unfold outside the national arena and beyond Java-centric analyses. By examining the case of the Golkar Party in West Sumatra, this article shows how local dynamics shape distinctive patterns of political communication and mediatization. Drawing on in-depth interviews, intensive observation, and documentary analysis, including local newspaper coverage from Singgalang, the study demonstrates that Golkar has strategically employed mediatization to reinforce organizational networks, disseminate political and social programs, and mobilize electoral support. At the same time, the case reveals persistent constraints such as polarization, money politics, and dynastic influence, which highlight the limits of mediatization in advancing democratic consolidation at the local level. By situating the West Sumatra case against broader Indonesian patterns, this article makes a novel theoretical contribution to political mediatization by illustrating how local socio-political contexts condition party–media relations in ways that complicate assumptions derived from national-level studies.

Abstract

Local media play a strategic role in sustaining the quality of democracy at the regional level, yet they increasingly face complex economic and political pressures. This study examines how local media in West Sumatra—specifically Langgam.id and Harian Haluan—negotiate journalistic idealism, professionalism, and commercialism in editorial policies and political news production. Employing a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with editors and journalists, limited newsroom observations, and document and content analysis. Informants were selected purposively based on their direct involvement in editorial decision-making and media business operations. The findings reveal that both media organizations normatively uphold values of independence, public interest, and journalistic professionalism. However, in practice, these values are continuously negotiated under economic constraints, particularly the limited scale of the local advertising market and dependence on political advertising. Political coverage tends to be dominated by elite actors, with indications of editorial compromise in the form of soft-selling practices. While the digital-native outlet demonstrates greater technical adaptability than the legacy media, both face similar structural pressures that shape editorial autonomy. This study concludes that local media practices are best understood as the outcome of a dynamic interaction between journalistic idealism, commercial imperatives, and professional norms. Theoretically, this research contributes to local journalism studies by proposing a conceptual model of negotiated journalism within the political–economic context of regional media in Indonesia.
