Abstract

Historical studies of media show that the advent of communication technology has transformed human communication, the ways in which people interact and the organization of human life (Briggs & Burke, 2000). The scope and depth of change heavily depend on the ability of communication technologies or media to penetrate people’s lives. Therefore, the scale and scope of change within a society will vary. The greater the penetration of communication technologies in society, the stronger their influence on how people communicate and organize their social lives. When we look at the pace of social change, the pervasive influence of communication technology and media is increasing. The implications of media technology—from the era of writing (writing culture), through print (print culture) and electronic (electronic culture), to the digital age (digital culture)— continue to grow stronger and more pervasive, leaving almost no space where people can escape the presence of media. In this context, Grossberg et al. (2006, p. 43) draw the following interesting conclusion: “... if written media centralized and made knowledge hierarchical, and then the printing press began a process of dispersion and democratization of knowledge, the electronic media have drastically accelerated both of these trends.”

Abstract

Kajian ini didasarkan pada argumentasi khalayak media baru pada dasarnya merefleksikan visi paling radikal uses and gratifications. Dalam visi baru ini, audiens benar-benar terlibat secara aktif dalam mencari informasi. Pada satu sisi, hal ini memberikan harapan baru bagi partisipasi khalayak dalam proses komunikasi, sekaligus membuka kesempatan yang lebih luas bagi partisipasi warga negara dalam kehidupan publik. Namun, di sisi lain, hal itu juga mengandung persoalan. Dalam banyak kasus, khalayak lebih mencari informasi yang meneguhkan keyakinannya atau pilihan-pilihan sikap yang sebelumnya telah diambil. Akibatnya, individu cenderung tenggelam ke dalam ‘kesesatan’ sikap dan keyakinan yang dipilihnya. Studi ini meneguhkan hal itu. Melalui partisipasi observasi, studi ini menemukan bahwa individu-individu terlibat aktif dalam mencari dan berbagi informasi dalam suatu kelompok percakapan yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan, nilai, dan keyakinan mereka. Sayangnya, hal itu tidak disertai dengan sifat kritis yang cukup atas sumber-sumber informasi yang mereka akses sehingga menciptakan suatu pandangan yang bias dan menyesatkan. Dalam situasi semacam itu, suatu digital literasi mutlak diperlukan agar media baru benar-benar memberikan manfaat bagi khalayak, dan bukannya sebaliknya.

Abstract

Since the beginning of the reformation era in 1998 and the enactment of Broadcasting Law No. 32/2002, local television channels has grown significantly. These emerging local television channels were expected to serve as an antithesis to Jakarta-based national television while also providing a space for cultural expression. This study investigates how local television express local culture using the cultural-political economy perspective. The research employs a case study with an instrumental case design and was conducted at ADiTV in Yogyakarta from April to September 2023. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that local television stations like ADiTV play a crucial role in providing a platform for local cultural expression. However, as private broadcasting institutions, the cultural contents featured in programs such as Jenggleng Manasuka, Mocopat Syafaat, and Wedang Ronde cannot be separated from commercial motive. In other words, culture-based television programs are products of the cultural industry that must be marketable to generate profit, often making economic considerations more dominant. As a result, cultural expression on ADiTV becomes highly limited and fails to foster diverse cultural representations. This study concludes that economic interests shape the local cultural expression, as culture-based television programs are inherently part of the cultural industry—products intended for sale. This is a dimension often overlooked by researchers studying local television in Indonesia

Abstract

Empirical research indicates that the mainstream media in Indonesia frequently fail to serve as effective watchdogs. In contrast, social media platforms facilitate digital democracy by enabling citizens to oversee power structures, although they also increase opportunities for government surveillance. This study aims to assess whether sousveillance can serve as an alternative mechanism for monitoring power when mainstream media do not fulfill their watchdog role by analyzing trends in mainstream media, Twitter, and citizen sousveillance. A mixed-methods approach is employed. The quantitative method utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the Naive Bayes sentiment analysis technique, while qualitative content analysis enriches the findings. The results demonstrate that news coverage in mainstream media outlets (Jawa Post, Kompas, and CNN Indonesia) failed to fulfill the watchdog function, as reporting was predominantly positive toward the government and its supporters, and hostile toward NGOs and groups critical of the government. A similar trend is observed on Twitter. However, analysis of sousveillance practices reveals that, although sousveillance does not directly influence policy change, it contributes to intermedia agenda-setting and can function as an alternative form of oversight. These findings highlight the significance of sousveillance as a form of citizen oversight, particularly in contexts where democratic institutions are in decline.
