Abstract

Ecological issues pose a serious threat to the continued existence of contemporary society. The recent development of humanity as an information society has been unable to overcome ecological issues; indeed, they have become more complex. Rapid advances in information and communication technology have fundamentally transformed various dimensions of human life. At the same time, ecological problems have been complicated by increasingly intense disasters, limited awareness of environmental degradation, as well as the increasingly apparent threat of global warming and climate change. Niklas Luhmann, a German sociologist, offered ecological communication as a conceptual framework for understanding the ecological problems faced by modern society. Through his system theory and concept of resonance, Luhmann sought to explain how modern society, as a complex social system, responds to ecological issues. This article seeks to explore in detail the ecological communication framework developed by Luhmann and use it to understand the ecological issues facing today's information society, especially in Indonesia. The main method used by this research is exploration and explication of the principles of Luhmann's theory, which are implemented to analyze various ecological issues and natural disasters in Indonesia. This research involved the collection of materials on ecological communication from Luhmann's books, as well as the linking of these materials to the ecological problems faced by information society.

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
