Konsentrasi Kepernilikan Media dan Ancaman Ruang Publik
Abstract: The trend toward the
concentration of media ownership in the hand of few media moguls in many parts
of the world has been a subject of criticism. Concentration of media ownership
has been one of the main threat to democracy and public sphere. This article discusses
the concentration of media ownership in Indonesia and its consequences on
democracy. One distinct picture of concentration of media ownership in
Indonesia is that some of the owners of the media are politician. This article
suggests that in order to tackle the problem there should be a limitation for
media ouwnership especially for broadcasting and an effort to reestablish a
more democratic media system by introducing public or community media.
