It has been argued that the media ownership is an influential factor determining the content production and performance of the media. However, knowledge about the characteristics of the media ownership and its impacts on the coverage of general election by the media has been less researched. Judging by such developments, this work raises the following question: how did the oligarchic ownership of the Indonesian news television channels determine the ways in which they covered two candidates who ran for president in 2014? By selecting TV One and Metro TV as a case study, this work extracts reports on the ways in which these news TV channels have produced news content related to the 2014 general election using qualitative and thematic content analyses. The findings are as follows: In the 2014 Indonesian presidential election, both TV One and Metro TV failed to comply with the ideal journalistic principles of covering both sides, objective and balanced reporting, as required by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission, while broadcasting news about the two presidential candidates. Instead, the television stations preferred to broadcast the polarized news coverage of the presidential candidates. TV One appeared to show more support for the Prabowo-Hatta Rajasa presidential candidate pair, while Metro TV favoured the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla presidential candidate pair. This suggests that oligarchic media ownership strongly influenced the content production and performance of these news TV channels. They were used by oligarchs who have the media company to convey their personal political agendas in the hope that it will influence, or even set, the public's agenda. AbstrakGagasan kepemilikan media adalah faktor berpengaruh yang menentukan produksi dan penampilan media produksi telah banyak diusulkan. Akan tetapi, pengetahuan tentang sifat kepemilikan media dan dampaknya terhadap liputan pemilihan umum yang dilakukan oleh media masih kurang ditelaah. Dengan mempertimbangkan perkembangan tersebut, penelitian ini ingin mengajukan pertanyaan: bagaimana kepemilikan oligarkis saluran televisi berita Indonesia menentukan cara media tersebut meliput dua kandidat presiden yang mencalonkan diri untuk posisi presiden Indonesia 2014? Memilih TV One dan Metro TV sebagai studi kasus, penelitian ini mengekstraksi laporan mengenai cara saluran TV berita ini menghasilkan konten berita terkait pemilu 2014 menggunakan analisis konten kualitatif dan tematis. Temuannya adalah sebagai berikut: dalam acara Pemilihan Presiden Indonesia 2014, TV One dan Metro TV gagal mematuhi prinsip-prinsip jurnalistik yang ideal seperti 78 mencakup kedua belah pihak, obyektif, dan seimbang, seperti yang diberlakukan oleh Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia, ketika menyiarkan berita tentang dua kandidat presiden. Sebaliknya, stasiun televisi lebih suka menyajikan liputan berita terpolarisasi pada kandidat presiden. TV One menunjukkan lebih banyak dukungan untuk kandidat Presiden-Wapres Prabowo-Hatta Rajasa, sementara Metro TV untuk Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla. Ini menunjukk...
Economic development and social-political change in Indonesia have been accompanied by wider education access especially for women. These have resulted in a number of profound inter-generational shifts in the process of transition to work and marriage – one of them is a trend toward self-choice marriage. This study uses qualitative methods in particular in-depth interviews and focus group discussion as data collection techniques. By combining two theoretical lenses of generation change and post-feminism, this article explores the practice and meaning of choices in the quest for an ideal husband, through exploring the subjective narrative of four young women. All informants have their own point of views about the ideal partner criteria, thus representing uniqueness and diversity of contemporary generation. Terms such as pious, responsible and economically-established are still considered important in their imagination, however, the most essential for an ideal partner is a prospective man who can negotiate between work role, family and tradition in the context of late modernity. It can be argued that those views are frequently influenced by existing normative values of family and neighbourhood showing that ‘feminist consciousness’ is still a privilege.
In most parts of the world, men are the dominant gender in power relations. Benefiting from this situation, many are hesitant to support feminism. However, men’s role in the realization of gender equality is crucial. Using interpretive analysis, this research examines how Indonesia’s New Men Alliance/Aliansi Laki-laki Baru (ALB), an activist group that highlights the importance of men’s support for women’s rights, uses social media to advocate gender equality and the strategies they use to effectively communicate their ideas through the frameworks of political solidarity of social change and men’s role in gender equality. The results show that the contents of their Instagram and Facebook page emphasize the urgency of becoming a ‘new man’, while ensuring that the content is relevant both locally and globally. Lastly, ALB strives to exercise its role as an advocate and ally by stepping in without overstepping.
The competition for jobs in big cities tends to be tougher for the members of groups that are marginalized and socially stigmatized. As a consequence, alternative cultures and vocations emerge. An example of this is the role of professional dominatrix in the kink or alternative sexuality subculture. Using interpretive analysis method, this article studies youth with other marginal identities—namely ‘woman’, ‘homosexual’, and ‘working-class member’ — in regards to their choice to pursue their career in kink subculture as a professional dominatrix in Netflix’s show Bonding. The findings of this research are as follows: The legitimation of alternative sexuality industry as a metropolitan subculture; young people choose to pursue a career, especially in subcultural industry, as a platform as well as motivation for self-actualization, and; jobs in sex and alternative sexuality industry are taken by marginalized young people as an effort to make a living in a big city.
