“…As a television music competition, the X Factor, created by Simon Cowell, has franchises 42 countries, while there are 2-4 for countries that are joining within one program of TV channel. 19 However, unlike previous talent reality shows where judges review, evaluate and criticize each contestant's performance, in the X Factor judges act as mentors for the contestants in their particular category. The mentor does not only aid his or her students to select songs but they also Wahyudi Akmaliah judge contestants of other categories.…”

Television, music videos, films, and pop bands are all part of global popular culture and thought to be the product of “the west”. These media are therefore often seen as a threat to the identities of nationalities, local cultures, and religious groups. In contrast, in the context of Indonesian Muslims, the Indonesian Ulama Council’s (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) showed support for Fatin Shidqia Lubis to the singing contest of Indonesian X Factor, 2013. This paper intends to study the presence of Fatin Sidqiah as the winner of Indonesian X Factor and the response of Indonesian muslims regarding Islamic popular culture in Indonesia. This paper argues that the presence of Islamic popular culture in Indonesia through books, novels, films, as well as fashion, show that Indonesian Islam and muslims are compatible not only with democracy but also with global popular culture. In addition, the presence of Fatin is a symbol of young Indonesian muslims who already connect globally. Whatever they consume in terms of popular culture is intrinsic to the creation of their hybrid identities, as both Indonesian muslims and global citizens. [Televisi, musik, film, dan bands merupakan bagian dari budaya popular dunia dan selalu dipandang sebagai produk “barat”. Karenanya, media ini sering dianggap sebagai ancaman bagi identitas nasional, budaya lokal, dan kelompok agama. Namun, dalam konteks keindonesiaan, Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) memberikan dukungan kepada Fatin Sidqia Lubis dalam kompetisi menyanyi “Indonesian X Factor” Tahun 2013. Tulisan ini mencoba menelisik kemunculan Fatin sebagai pemenang “Indonesian X Factor” dan tanggapan masyarakat mengenai budaya pop Islam di Indonesia. Melalui artikel ini penulis berpendapat bahwa kehadiran budaya pop di Indonesia dalam berbagai buku, novel, film, serta pakaian menunjukkan bahwa Islam dan masyarakat Islam di Indonesia tidak hanya sejalan dengan demokrasi, tetapi juga dengan budaya pop dunia. Lebih dari itu, Fatin adalah simbol muslim muda Indonesia yang telah terhubung dengan dunia. Apa pun yang mereka nikmati dalam hal budaya pop telah menciptakan identitas ganda: sebagai muslim Indonesia sekaligus sebagai warga dunia.]

“…According to Penelope Coutas in her journal entitled Fame, Fortune, Fantasy: Indonesian Idol and the New Celebrity, talent search is a form of reality show without using a script; the participants consist of people who are in extraordinary circumstances who compete to get a chance to improve their lives [2]. In the talent search, the competing participants demonstrate their abilities and were judged by the judges and the audience in the studio as well as the spectators who watched on the television.…”

“…Idol finalists appear to use the latest mobile phones or wear clothes from certain designers while consuming Indomie Instant Noodles or other products.

Talent search events have become very popular in Indonesia because these programs give people a chance for a better life from their previous life condition in the form of talent competitions in a particular field. In these events, the participants are selected and trained to improve their performance. The elimination system creates a competitive environment among participants. The most popular talent search event is the talent search event in the singing field (longest running event). Usually, such events promise cash and/or contracts with certain companies. The purpose of this research is to explore the career of talent search finalists in the singing field, after participating in a talent search audition. Exploration is done through various sources such as interviews with the grand finalist in the talent search event in the field of singing, observations using YouTube videos to know the activities of finalists during the talent search event. Data obtained through the internet is secondary data that can be used as a source of information about the sustainability of a finalist's career after participating in the talent search event. The research results show that the sustainability of a finalist's career is determined by the attitude of the finalist itself, whether the finalist continues to struggle to learn things so that they can convince their management to keep promoting them to be able to compete in the Indonesian music industry.

“…Media trivialisation of political and other topics discourages meaningful citizen engagement. Further, a desire by Indonesian audiences to consume celebrity gossip and sensational stories also makes it hard to publish critical pieces (Coutas, 2006;Hobart & Fox, 2008). Other approaches to coverage, such as deliberative journalism where diverse and unpopular views about the community good are presented to encourage expressions of criticality and plurality, might be one way forward for Indonesia's media (Robie, 2013).…”

Abstract:The following article analyses contemporary newspaper representations of police corruption in Indonesia's premier English-language newspaper, The Jakarta Post. The article draws on primary data obtained from 114 articles published online between January and December 2013. The subsequent quantitative analysis found that The Jakarta Post reported on various forms of police corruption in both specific and general contexts with a majority of reports focusing on the investigation of corruption allegations where at least three people were involved. Information about suspects was also provided. Qualitative analysis indicated that the following themes were frequently discussed: the extent of police corruption; causes of police corruption; fighting police corruption; the belief that police cannot be trusted to investigate internal police corruption; and that police corruption interferes with external investigations. Despite many obstacles involved in reporting police corruption, the authors argue that overall The Jakarta Post takes a critical view in its reporting of police corruption.
