Abstract

Student press as an alternative media often faces intervention and intimidation, both from within and outside the university environment. The absence of legal protection, due to their exclusion from Law No. 40 of 1999 of the Press, makes student journalists vulnerable to repression. This study is important to explore how journalist associations, namely the Press Council (Dewan Pers), the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI), and the Indonesian Student Press Association (PPMI) perceive and respond to this issue. Using a qualitative approach, this research employs in-depth interviews with key informants and document analysis of reported cases. The findings reveal that regulatory gaps, a campus culture resistant to criticism, and asymmetrical power relations contribute to the persistence of intimidation. Moreover, existing mechanisms such as the Cooperation Agreement (PKS) are seen as legally weak and ineffective in protecting student press activities. This study recommends the establishment of higher-level regulations, such as a ministerial decree, to provide legal standing for student press within the national media ecosystem.
