Abstract

Objective: This study systematically reviews media research from various countries concerning the reporting of the 1965 Indonesian mass killings, a major human rights tragedy during the Cold War. Significance: It addresses a gap in Indonesian media historiography by synthesizing previous studies and providing a framework for identifying future research opportunities on international media coverage of the tragedy. Method: Data were collected through document analysis and examined using a systematic literature review approach. Findings: Seven studies were identified, covering media reporting from Vietnam, the Philippines, France, South Korea and North Korea, China, Australia, and Japan. Among these, only Japan, Australia, and Vietnam explicitly reported the 1965 mass killings, and the coverage was limited in scope and depth. Most international media focused primarily on the political events surrounding the 30 September Movement rather than the subsequent mass violence. Implications: The limited international media coverage contributed to the global public’s low awareness of the Indonesian mass killings. Future research should examine media representations in other countries, particularly ASEAN members, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which had significant political and strategic interests in Indonesia during the Cold War.
