Ketika Watchdog Dipelihara Para Juragan: Kontrol Pengusaha terhadap Media Massa
Abstract: As a watch dog,
Indonesia mass media now are in dangerous situation. They are trapped between
whether they should be servant of the public by doing their duty to bark when
watching bad practices in any social institution or they should serve the
people who support their existence, namely the conglomerates. This is so due to
thefact that mass media now depend mostly on advertising revenues and are
controlIed by the conglomerates who have interest in making good images in
public eyes. This article discusses the tendency of Indonesia media being
controlled by conglomerates through various mechanisms.
