What they said... 'Jokowi is seen as pursuing populism to strengthen his position with the legislature' Barry Jones, Professorial Fellow at University of Melbourne 'There's no forgiveness for drug dealers' President Joko Widodo The issue at a glance On April 25, 2015, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, two Australians convicted of drug trafficking in Indonesia, were told that they could be executed within 72 hours. The two were part of a group, generally known as the Bali Nine, who arrested on 17 April 2005 in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, for planning to smuggle 8.3 kg of heroin valued at around A$4 million (3.1 million from Indonesia to Australia. In February 2006 Chan and Sukumaran, as the group ringleaders, were sentenced to death by firing squad. Despite appeals against their sentences and an appeal to the Indonesian president, Joko Widodo, for clemency, the executions appear likely to go ahead. There have been representations made on behalf of the two men from the Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, the Australian foreign minister, Julie Bishop, and many others to have the men be granted clemency. Each man is acknowledged to have made remarkable changes in his life while in prison, with one now an artist and the other a pastor. The men's impending deaths have raised major questions about the value of the death penalty and the limits of diplomacy.

  • Jail Birds-Text-02Pp.Indd
    THE GIRL FROM WALLSEND Renae Lawrence’s Story IN AUSTRALIA, prisoners don’t have access to mobile phones or email, so you can imagine my surprise a few years ago when I received an email, ‘sent from my Blackberry’, from an address that sounded like a Thai meal. I nearly didn’t open it, as the Nigerian bank scam was in full swing at the time, and I was being deluged with emails promising ‘winnings from World Lottery’ and urgent messages about huge money transfers from Western Union. When I did open the message, I found it had come from Renae Lawrence, who was four years into a twenty-year sentence in Kerobokan jail in Bali. Renae was the only female in a group of nine Australian youngsters who were arrested carrying bags of heroin strapped to their bodies at Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport on Sunday 17 April 2005, as they attempted to return to Australia. They became known around the world as the Bali Nine. They were a motley crew. Renae was short and stocky, 161 JAIL BIRDS with cropped dark hair, an eyebrow ring and an eye-catching tropical shirt. In Australia, she’d stand out in a crowd, but every second tourist in Bali was wearing one. All the boys with her – Scott Rush, Martin Stephens and Michael Czugaj – were wearing similar bright, loose shirts – the sort of garment that looks great when you’re on holidays, but cringeworthy when you put it on at home. Most of them become dusters or are saved for use as dress-ups at milestone birthday barbecues.

  • A Qualitative Study About How Australians Portrays Indonesia)
    Studies in Media and Communication Vol. 8, No. 1; June 2020 ISSN: 2325-8071 E-ISSN: 2325-808X Published by Redfame Publishing URL: http://smc.redfame.com Indonesia in the Eyes of Australians through Media Coverage (A Qualitative Study about How Australians Portrays Indonesia) Sri Seti Indriani1, Ditha Prasanti1 1Communication Faculty, Padjadjaran University, Indonesia Correspondence: Sri Seti Indriani, 1Communication Faculty, Padjadjaran University, Indonesia. Received: Apr. 7, 2020 Accepted: May 6, 2020 Online Published: May 12, 2020 doi:10.11114/smc.v8i1.4811 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/smc.v8i1.4811 Abstract Media reality, by far, tends to construct how people see things despite the objective reality. Indonesia, for this case, is a country that is known as its many conflicts and disasters through media coverage globally. Australia, as its neighbour, has also come to have some conclusions about Indonesia through the Australian Media, which then gives a sense of knowledge about Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to acknowledge how Australian Media portrays Indonesian and how the Australians perceive Indonesia because of it. This qualitative research conducted interviews with some Australians that are concerned about Indonesia. The result of the study concludes that the media portrays Indonesia less as a tourists place, even though it was advertised repeatedly but more like an unorganized, chaotic place for pedestrians and commuters. Indonesia is seen as a country full of disasters and conflicts which signals that the country needs a hand from Australia. It is seen as a violent and dangerous place. Despite the media coverage of Indonesia, and their agreement of Indonesia as a chaotic and dangerous place, Australians still consider Indonesia as a beautiful tourist place to go.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The development of internet is made everything easier. The Internet as a medium has affected the way we live, including the way we produce and consume news (Margianto, J. Heru and Syaefullah, Asep, 2014:13). Nowadays, we do not need to buy a newspaper to know the current information all we need is only turn on laptop or mobile phone and connect it to internet then all the information we need is ready for us. According to Eko Maryadi the Chairman of AJI (The Alliance of Independent Journalists) on the book Media Online: Antara Pembaca, Laba, Dan Etika Problematika Praktik Jurnalisme Online Di Indonesia (2014), in the last five years, people who accessed the internet continues increased along with the availability of the infrastructure that is increasingly widespread, affordable, and cheap. In 2011, the number of internet users in Indonesia had reached 55,23 million, increased from 42,16 million people in 2010. It means that a quarter of the population of Indonesia is already familiar with the internet. From that fact, we cannot underestimate the power of internet as a mass media in shaping people opinion. Many people are not aware that the mass media play an important role in the construction of social reality. West and Turner (2007) stated that Media 1 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 2 as a tool or channel could affect our opinion and then could create ourselves.

    8 CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Theoretical Framework 2.1.1 Critical Discourse Analysis Discourse analysis is a multidisciplinary approach to the study of language use and communication in their socio-cultural contexts. Against the background of the classical tradition of rhetoric, modern discourse analysis emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s from different but related developments in anthropology, ethnography, linguistics, poetics, psychology, micro-sociology, mass communication, history, political science, and other disciplines in the humanities and directions in contemporary discourse analysis have in common a detailed study of the various levels or dimensions of natural discourse, such as everyday conversations, institutional dialogues, stories, argumentation, media discourses (such as news reports, advertisements or television programmes), and many other genres of text or communicative events (Van Dijk, 1985). To stress it, Van Dijk (2001), state that Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is a type of discourse analytical research that primarily studies the way social power abuse, dominance, and inequality are enacted, reproduced, 8 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 9 and resisted by text and talk in the social and political context. With such dissident research, critical discourse analysts take explicit position, and thus want to understand, expose, and ultimately resist social inequality. It focuses on the constellation of power which occur in the process of production and the reproduction of meaning (Eriyanto, 2001). Power here does not include because individual is centrally involved in the society which power and ideology are exist.
