Politik Media dalam Transisi Politik: Dari Kontrol Negara Menuju Self-Regulation Mechanism
Abstract: The political transformation
in 1998 introduced a new era of Indonesian media which respects the public
interest and implements a democratic model. The changing led to a new
media-politics that have democratic character. This article will focus on the
self regulation mechanism that becomes very popular in democratic mass media
system. Those favouring self-regulation mechanism have usually justified it on
the grounds that it is less damaging to freedom of expression than legal
control. However this mechanism is not a panacea for all ills, because
self-regulation can only work if certain pre-conditions are met. The analysis
will be done by several conceptual frames, i.e: the concept of media in
political transition, concept of media politics, self regulation mechanism, and
statutory vs voluntary regulation.
Key words:
Self-regulation mechanism, statutory
regulation, voluntary regulation
