Abstract

This study investigates the complex relationship between state power, broadcasting institutions, and public opinion in Indonesia during the New Order regime under President Soeharto (1966–1998), with particular attention to how media discourse was structured to support political authority and marginalize minority voices. In an authoritarian media environment, broadcasting did not operate as a neutral public communication platform, but as a regulated instrument through which the state managed information, controlled access, and shaped ideological interpretation. Using a qualitative research design, this study draws on archival documents and interviews with media practitioners and broadcasting experts to examine how state policies influenced broadcasting ownership, licensing, editorial direction, and content production. The findings show that institutions such as TVRI and Radio Republik Indonesia functioned as strategic tools of state communication. At the same time, private broadcasters that emerged in the late New Order period remained tied to political and economic elites, limiting genuine media independence. The study further reveals that censorship, centralized supervision by the Ministry of Information, and selective tolerance of limited pluralism enabled the regime to project an image of openness while maintaining strict control over dissenting narratives. This condition not only reinforced regime legitimacy but also constrained public deliberation and weakened the visibility of minority perspectives in the national media sphere. By highlighting the intersection of media discourse, institutional control, and political authority, this study contributes to broader debates on authoritarian communication, media governance, and the political functions of broadcasting in Indonesia’s New Order era.

Abstract

The regional head election (Pilkada) is a competitive electoral contest that requires proper management. One of the most crucial aspects is the communication management of the General Election Commission (KPU), which is the organizing body of the election. The KPU Tanah Bumbu, responsible for conducting the Pilkada in Tanah Bumbu Regency, South Kalimantan, has implemented communication management strategies tailored to various challenges and the local political dynamics. This study aims to assess the strategy, effectiveness, and challenges of the communication management of the General Election Commission (KPU) of Tanah Bumbu Regency during the candidate nomination stage of the 2024 Pilkada. This research was conducted in Tanah Bumbu Regency during the nomination phase of the 2024 Pilkada candidates. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation analysis. The theoretical framework applied in this study is George J. Terry's (2019) communication management theory, which includes four key components: planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. The findings reveal that the communication management strategy of KPU Tanah Bumbu relies on highly competent communicators, adequate technological support, strong collaboration with relevant stakeholders, and sufficient funding. Additionally, the study found that KPU Tanah Bumbu has implemented effective communication management during the nomination stage of the 2024 Pilkada, covering all phases—planning, organizing, execution, mobilization, and evaluation. Furthermore, the research identified the main challenges in KPU Tanah Bumbu’s communication management, including low public literacy levels, infrastructure barriers, and unpredictable socio-political dynamics.
