MEDIA CONTENT ANALYSIS IN THE PROVINCE OF EAST KALIMANTAN AND PUBLIC PERCEPTION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
ABSTRACK: The issue of
Corporate Social Responsibility is considered as a sensitive issue since it relates
to the company’ contribution to develop and to increase community welfare.
However, the concept of CSR implemented by the corporations is more on carring
the image building and social investment mission made by the public relations
division through the mass media. Therefore, this media content analysis is
conducted to determine the CSR trend reported by the corporate and the media.
The analysis was done quantitatively which are presented in tables and charts,
then riched with interviews to refine the analysis. Based on the research, the
CSR news covered is more on the charity/donor/sponsorship, and frequently used as
a tool of corporate PR to promote ‘the good things’ that have been undertaken by
the companies. The public representative also stated that the CSR news written
by the media more on to promote that the company has done good things for the
community. This happens because of the news only contain info and photos that
show the sheer relief only which indicate that the newspaper has a firm
economic independency that creates a situation where the media cannot be
actively critic the CSR programs which have undertaken by the companies.
