Dilema Elite Politik dan Kekuatan Media Massa
Abstrak: The dominance of the
political drama in the media seemed to be the evidence of a democratic process
in which the political actors are always racing to win popularity or good
imaging of themselves either individually or collectively (political party).
However, the political drama is increasingly showing an interest gap, where the
people actually crave affairs and social developmen. This is the rare serious
discussion covered by the mass media, because it is less interesting than the
debate of political and legal problems, or that reality is really no serious
struggle about the fate of the people’s welfare. Democracy is not for any
political and legal issues as well as press freedom, but democracy is to answer
how people could be prospered by the government and the representatives
(political elites) who carry out the mandate of the people through elections.
