“…Pemikir Jerman, Gertrund Koch dalam The Habermas Handbook menimbang pentingnya menemukan cara-cara yang adaptif bagi media massa di masa kontemporer. Koch membenarkan bahwa dunia dengan kapitalisme lanjut telah berkembang menjadi tanah yang subur bagi pergerakan sistem di dalam dunia (Koch, 2009). Analisa Koch ini tentu memicu pertanyaan: Apakah media massa termasuk dapat bertahan di hadapan sistem pada kondisi seperti yang dikatakan Koch?…”

“…Pesimisme terhadap kinerja media massa masih menyisakan adanya sebagian media massa yang masih berupaya untuk independen di tengah gempuran sistem. Koch dalam hal ini membuka diskusi bahwa gangguan sistem dapat dilakukan hanya oleh bentuk komunikasi massa yang terbuka bagi struktur jaringan yang fleksibel dan dinamis (Koch, 2009). Jika melihat terlalu kokohnya sistem, maka yang dapat dipertimbangkan ialah perlunya media massa untuk bergerak fleksibel di antara sistem dan normatif demokrasi.…”

Abstract: This paper aims to observe the need for mass media self-regulation based on Jürgen Habermas’s thoughts. Mass media have become a critical channel for public spaces since the birth of democracy. Habermas criticizes the contemporary mass media industry as no longer a critical channel because of the need for money to operate. The mass media are influenced by capitalism and political power. This causes a deficit in mass media. This research shows the importance of regulation such that the mass media does not fall under the domination of capitalism and political power. Media regulations need to be tightened, and ways need to be found so that independence is maintained in the adaptation of mass media commercialization. The need for money and the habit of political imagery in the public space cannot interfere with the performance of mass media as a channel for public criticism in a democracy. Abstrak: Tulisan ini disusun untuk melihat kebutuhan akan regulasi diri media massa berdasarkan pemikiran Jürgen Habermas. Media massa menjadi saluran kritis ruang publik sejak kelahiran demokrasi. Habermas mengkritik industri media massa kontemporer tidak lagi sebagai saluran kritis karena kebutuhannya akan uang untuk beroperasi. Media massa terpengaruh kapitalisme dan kekuasaan politik. Ini menyebabkan defisit kritis media massa. Penelitian ini hendak menunjukkan pentingnya mengatur agar media massa tidak jatuh pada dominasi kapitalisme dan kekuasaan politik. Regulasi media perlu dikencangkan dan perlu mencari cara agar independensi tetap terjaga dalam adaptasi komersialisasi media massa. Kebutuhan akan uang dan kebiasaan pencitraan politik dalam ruang publik tidak boleh mengganggu kinerja media massa sebagai saluran ruang kritik publik dalam demokrasi.

The article deals with a role of mass culture in term of the theory of the culture industry by M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno and the theory of communicative action by J. Habermas, who continues research of the Frankfurt school. It is known that Habermas says about two types of rationality — communicative and structural. The lifeworld and the system correspond them. Usually, culture correspond to lifeworld because it helps people`s socialization. Also it is a place for communication and finding new meanings. However, a place of mass culture is very controver- sial. In particular, it is necessary to distinguish between popular and mass culture, because these definitions have been used as interchangeable for a long time. Popular culture is still an area of meanings. Moreover, it has the potential for protest. From this point of view, it is clearly part of the life world. But mass culture as a «cultural industry» is not so unambiguous. It is worth considering its characteristics and role in people’s life more detail. Above all, one cannot help paying attention to masses. Already in the last century, H. Arendt characterized them as an atomized and isolated group of people, and they are not united by any common ideas. After all, even in the modern world it is possible to see that they do not have and do not want to search for any ideas or meanings. Masses are a direct consumers of mass culture. It is consumerism that the characteristic feature of modernity. Therefore, mass culture is inseparably connected with the market. On the one hand, it sells entertainments, and on the other hand, it generates new consumers, because it is related to advertising. In the same way, mass culture is connected with agitation and propaganda. Thus, it is possible to speak about its connection with politics. The market and politics correspond to the system and are guided by strategic rationality. This fact gives reason to talk about mass culture as a strategic tool. Such culture with no meanings leads to a crisis in society.
