Abstract

This  paper  is  to  highlight  the  reformation  of  press freedom  in  terms  of  the  principle  of  media neutrality. Neutral, impartial or affiliated with stakeholders, and political power is one thing that  is a principle  in  the  mass  media  because  the  media  must  maintain  its  neutrality  as  a  function  of  social control and educator. If the period before the reform, freedom of the press overshadowed by “bredel” or censorship, freedom apparently it is  still not fully considered in the present era. Freedom of the press is now just snatched away by its own internalmedia. If the first media workers have to struggle to  escape  from  the  political  repression  of  the  ruler,  now  media  workers  should  strive  to  avoid repression owners of capital with all the interest surrounding it, in order to realize the press that truly fair and responsible. Understanding and awareness of the owners of capital or management, at least for one word and one bow to actually enforce the primary purpose of journalism, not only for profit but noble responsibility to the community that is adream to realize a good Indonesian press.
