Abstract

Following the rapid change in technology development, the Indonesian mass media have undergone a digital transformation. This digital mass media and its users have evolved, assimilated, and integrated themselves to fit in the cyber world. This distinguishing feature distinguishes them from traditional mass media. The cyber environment's infinite international boundaries are both advantageous and disadvantageous, as it is difficult to govern digital activity outside Indonesia's jurisdiction. This unregulated environment became a breeding ground for cybercrime, making the digital space unsafe for individuals and threatening national security. In response to this issue, the Indonesian government has enacted various laws and policies, including Law No. 19 of 2016 and the ESO Policy of the Indonesian Minister of Communication and Information Technology. However, throughout their execution, these rules and regulations have several flaws. This article aims to examine the impact of various forms of media governance on the resolution of numerous issues affecting cyber sovereignty and digital journalism in Indonesian cyberspace. This article employs a qualitative phenomenological approach with descriptive-analysis methodology by observing and assessing a variety of digital phenomena in Indonesian cyberspace and examining numerous cyber laws, theories, and regulations. This article finds that stakeholders in the media governance framework require additional cooperation and commitment to enforce laws and rules more effectively.
