Abstract Indonesian Journalists’ Ethical Dilemmas: Self Evaluation of Indonesian Journalism Codes of Ethics Anggi Fajar Ayu This thesis analyzes the practice of the profession of television journalism in Indonesia and whether the fundamental codes of ethics as standards of journalism were consistently practiced in Indonesia's market-driven media sector. This thesis draws on the research from a thesis about “Press Ethics and Practice of Journalism in Turkey: A Case Study on Turkish Journalists’ Self Evaluation of Their Codes of Practice.” (Hilal, 2006). According to Hilal, while media owners, executives or stockholders have consistently used the press as an instrument in the furtherance of their interests; this issue has been aggravated by the recent concentration in media proprietorship. This thesis addresses the historical formation of the Journalism Code of Ethics in Indonesia, practices prior to and after freedom of press happened in 1999 preceding concentrating on the implementation of 11 principles of the Journalism Code of Ethics in Indonesian news media. It also addresses the recent development such as media, politics and PEMILU (presidential election). The fundamental issue in media morals is the ethical quality of those in the area and the compatibility of journalism and ethics. (Hilal, 2006). This thesis’s objective was to learn if Indonesian TV journalists and Newsmakers were using the code of ethics as guidance, will they use it again in the future, and will they recommend its use to their peers; how effective was the 11 principles of the Journalism Code of Ethics to encounter ethical dilemmas with technology. ix The study finds while 92% of the respondents have knowledge of the Indonesian Journalism Code of Ethics, and 36% of the respondents impacted by a severe conflict/ ethical dilemma, the majority of the respondents, 26% are in doubt that it was helpful and 33% of them though that the Indonesian Journalism Code of Ethics was really helpful to help them to solve their ethical dilemma. 30% of the respondents also in doubt

How do political actors and citizens use social media to participate in the political process? This paper analyzes these questions in the context of contemporary Indonesia, a country with a young democracy and a vibrant emerging economy. First, the relationships between traditional and social media and politics are discussed. Then, the current situation in Indonesia’s traditional media industry and how it may have helped drive the popularity of social media in Indonesia is analyzed. Finally, the paper discusses social media in today’s Indonesia and provides examples of how political actors and citizens use social media in the political process.

  • Citizen Journalism and Public Participation in the Era of New Media in Indonesia: from Street to Tweet
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2019, Volume 7, Issue 3, Pages 79–90 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v7i3.2094 Article Citizen Journalism and Public Participation in the Era of New Media in Indonesia: From Street to Tweet Rajab Ritonga 1,* and Iswandi Syahputra 2 1 Faculty of Communication, Universitas Prof. Dr. Moestopo (Beragama), 10270 Jakarta, Indonesia; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Study Program of Communication Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University of Yogyakarta, 55281 Yogyakarta, Indonesia; E-Mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Submitted: 16 March 2019 | Accepted: 12 June 2019 | Published: 6 August 2019 Abstract Citizen journalism was initially practiced via mass media. This is because citizens trusted mass media as an independent information channel, and social media like Twitter was unavailable. Following mass media’s affiliation to political parties and the rise of social media, citizens began using Twitter for delivering news or information. We dub this as citizen journal- ism from street to tweet. This study found that such process indicates the waning of mass media and the intensification of social media. Yet, the process neither strengthened citizen journalism nor increased public participation as it resulted in netizens experiencing severe polarization between groups critical and in support of the government instead. We consider this as a new emerging phenomenon caused by the advent of new media in the post-truth era. In this context, post-truth refers to social and political conditions wherein citizens no longer respect the truth due to political polarization, fake- news-producing journalist, hate-mongering citizen journalism, and unregulated social media activities.

Philip Kitley, who is not only a media scholar but has also worked as a diplomat in Indonesia, shows how important television has been to both the official and popular imagination since its beginnings in the early s. It’s a fascinating tale, with implications going well beyond re- gional specialists, since the use of popular media to promote nation, citizenship, and identity is common to many countries, new and old. “As Indonesia attracts increasing international attention in the post-Soeharto era, it is important to understand the cultural as well as political issues that have led to the current turbulent situation. Kitley’s book is a well-researched, wise, and elegantly written ac- count of the forces, dreams, and policies that link public and private life in and after ‘New Order’ Indonesia.” —John Hartley, Dean of Arts, Queensland University of Technology Philip Kitley is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Humanities and International Studies, University of Southern Queensland.

Competitiveness in the mass media industry is tougher in market dominance. Media owners in Indonesia are competing to penetrate the market and secure their business positions by joining the politics, even the media itself is allegedly used by the owner as a commodity that can gain profit and become a propaganda’s tool for certain political interests. MNC Media Group is a media owned by Hary Tanoesoedibjo, a businessman and politician from the Perindo Party. Then, how does Hary Tanoesoedibjo commodify the MNC Media Group? Theory of Political Economy of Media, Vincent Moscow (1996) discusses the concept of commodification, explaining how the process of transforming goods and services with their use value into a policy that has an exchange rate in the market. The analysis by the author is to see at the relationships behind the production, consumption and distribution processes carried out by the MNC Media Group. Commodification of MNC Media Group is carried out through three types of commodification, namely; commodification of contents, audiences and workers. Commodification is made using the economy and politics by its owner, Hary Tanoesoedibjo which is carried out in the form of an integrated business unit, or a synergy between all business units, builing a positive image for the owner using legitimacy of the power relations.

  • Peace Journalism Vs Provocative Journalism: Reading the Political Identity Models of Mass Media in Indonesia
    Peace Journalism vs Provocative Journalism: Reading the Political Identity Models of Mass Media in Indonesia Ibrahim1, Sandy Pratama1 , Rendy1 ,Bustami Rahman2, Sujadmi2 and Dini Wulansari3 1Department of Political Science, Bangka Belitung University, Indonesia 2Department of Sociology, Bangka Belitung University, Indonesias 3Department of English Literature, Bangka Belitung University, Indonesia [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Journalism, peaceful, provocative, mass media, identity politics Abstract: Since the era of press freedom in Indonesia, mass media has emerged as a stunning civil society arena in its role to proclaim any news to the public. The highest risk, however, arises as the phenomenon of identity appears beyond the religious and daily life affairs, in spite, they are alternately utilized concerning ideological interests and in turn to politic. This paper argued that the mass media in Indonesia had been recently trapped in crossing interests; between peaceful and provocative journalism. Various identity-based press play a role, in contrast, media identity is constructed under the shadow of interest, and this is called the political identity of mass media. This paper analysed that there are several models of media identity politics, i.e., via news construction, re-framing news, characterizations, and online distribution. The authors offered three opportunities to overcome this: strengthening the Press Council, collective deconstruction, public education, and journalistic professionalism. The public, in general, expects to create media objectivity in the middle of political and identity interests if it is collectively aware of the role as well as the risk of their development without provocative journalism phenomenon control. 1 INTRODUCTION disunity. Mass media then emerges as a new agent that must be good in swinging its role in the midst of Mass media is primarily a means of accurately and immature situations, either its social culture or its evenly distributing information to the public.

    LITERATUS literature for social impact and cultural studies The Politics of Campaign Funding in The Presidential Election 2019 Politik Pendanaan Kampanye dalam Pemilihan Presiden 2019 Abdul Rahman Ma’mun (*) Pascasarjana Ilmu Politik, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik, Universitas Indonesia Meidi Kosandi Pascasarjana Ilmu Politik, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik, Universitas Indonesia Abstract The research objective in this paper is to examine how the politics of campaign funding in the 2019 Presidential Election with a focus on the dimensions of receiving large campaign fund from oligarchs to the Candidates for President and Candidates for Vice President Jokowi-Ma'ruf and Prabowo-Sandi and the dimension of repayment to contributors and voters at post-presidential election. In that regard, this paper also discusses the pattern of funding for the Jokowi-Ma'ruf campaign as the winner of the 2019 Presidential Election, which contributed to the formation of the new oligarchic political structure after the 2019 Presidential Election. For this purpose, a qualitative method approach is used with inductive data analysis, building patterns, categories, and themes from the bottom up (inductive) based on Jeffrey A.Winters' Oligarchy theory supported by the concept of campaign funding from USAID on secondary data on the Jokowi-Ma'ruf and Prabowo-Sandi campaign fund reports that were reported to the KPU and audited by a public accounting firm. The offered argument is that the politics of campaign funding of the Jokowi-Ma'ruf pair as the winner of the 2019 Presidential Election, involving large contributions from the oligarchs, influenced the change in the oligarchic nature of the government, as a result of the Presidential Election, namely the change in the nature of oligarchs' involvement in coercion and power from 'fragmented' to 'collective', and a change from 'wild' competing between oligarchs to 'tame' in government.
