Abstract:
Television journalism in Indonesia has experienced rapid expansion and change in the decade since the fall of the New Order regime. New national commercial networks and hundreds of local stations have been opened, providing audiences with a broad range of news and information programs and opening the airwaves to voices that would not have been heard during the Soeharto era. However, this growth has provoked an energetic public debate about the role of media in society. Do journalists, freed from direct government control, have a responsibility to promote national unity in reporting on separatist conflicts or to support mainstream religious principles? Have business owners and commercial advertisers replaced government censors as information gatekeepers? This presentation, based on interviews with television journalists and editors, suggests that Indonesia is experiencing many of the same challenges that other countries face as they emerge from a period of authoritarian control.
