Politics and the Media in Twenty-First Century Indonesia

Decade of Democracy

Every political aspirant and activist knows the media are important. But there is little agreement on how an increasingly diversified media operate in post-authoritarian transitions and how they might promote, or impede, the pathways to a sustainable liberal democracy in the 21st century. This book examines the role of the media during Indonesia’s longest experiment with democratisation. It addresses two important and related questions: how is the media being transformed, both in terms of its structure and content, by the changing political economy of Indonesia after the fall of Suharto? And what is the potential impact of this media in enabling or hampering the development of democracy in Indonesia? The book explores the relation between the working of democratisation, by examining the role of ethnic identity and nationalism; increasingly cheaper and diversified means of media production, challenging state monopolies of the media; the reality of personalised and globalised media; and the challenging of the connection between a free media and democracy by global capitalism and corporate control of the media. The book argues that the dominant forces transforming Indonesia today did not arise from the singular point of Suharto’s resignation, but from a set of factors which are independent from, but linked to, Indonesia’s internal politics and which shape its cultural industries.

Excellent Public Relations and Effective Organizations

A Study of Communication Management in Three Countries

This book is the final product of the "excellence project"--a comprehensive research effort commissioned by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Research Foundation. Going well beyond any of the previously published reports on the Excellence study, this book contains many new statistical analyses of the survey data and more details from the case studies. Discussing theory and data related to several ongoing discussions in the communication profession, this book answers the following questions: *How can we show the value of public relations? *What is the value of relationships? *How do relationships affect reputation? *What does it mean to practice communication strategically? *How can we measure and evaluate the effects of public relations programs? *Should communication programs be integrated? *How does the new female majority in the profession affect communication Excellence? This book, as well as the research it reports, is the product of symmetrical communication and collaboration. As such, it is intended for scholars, applied researchers, students, and informed professionals who understand the value of research in developing a profession, such as public relations. Knowledge of quantitative and qualitative research methods will make it easier to understand the book; however, the results are interpreted in a way that makes the analyses understandable even to those with little or no knowledge of statistics and research methods.

The SAGE Handbook of Digital Journalism

The production and consumption of news in the digital era is blurring the boundaries between professionals, citizens and activists. Actors producing information are multiplying, but still media companies hold central position. Journalism research faces important challenges to capture, examine, and understand the current news environment. The SAGE Handbook of Digital Journalism starts from the pressing need for a thorough and bold debate to redefine the assumptions of research in the changing field of journalism. The 38 chapters, written by a team of global experts, are organised into four key areas: Section A: Changing Contexts Section B: News Practices in the Digital Era Section C: Conceptualizations of Journalism Section D: Research Strategies By addressing both institutional and non-institutional news production and providing ample attention to the question ‘who is a journalist?’ and the changing practices of news audiences in the digital era, this Handbook shapes the field and defines the roadmap for the research challenges that scholars will face in the coming decades.

Cara Baru Mengasah Otak dengan Asyik

Temuan-temuan Mutakhir tentang Kinerja dan Struktur Otak Plus Permainan-permainan Heboh untuk Mengasah 6 Zona Kecerdasan

Seorang petani ingin menyeberangkan seekor rubah, seekor angsa, dan sekantung beras ke seberang sungai. Tetapi, perahunya hanya cukup untuk mengangkut satu bawaan sekali jalan. Jika dia meninggalkan rubah dan angsa di satu sisi sungai, rubah akan memakan angsa itu. Jika dia meningalkan angsa dengan sekantung beras, angsa akan memakan beras itu. Bagaimana dia bisa membawa ketiganya ke seberang sungai? Itu hanyalah salah satu dari aneka permainan menarik dalam buku ini. Tak hanya permainan, David Gamon dan Allen D. Bragdon juga membeberkan temuan-temuan terbaru tentang kinerja dan struktur otak. Terdapat enam zona kecerdasan pada otak, yaitu pengambilan keputusan dan sosial, ingatan, emosi, bahasa, matematika, dan spasial. Semua zona kecerdasan ini kita butuhkan karena bisa saling membantu dalam kegiatan berpikir kita. Jika salah satu dari keenam zona ini jarang digunakan, niscaya ia akan mengalami kemunduran. Oleh karena itu, otak-seperti halnya otot-perlu dilatih agar tidak kendur dan semakin kuat. Permainan-permainan dalam buku Cara Baru Mengasah Otak dengan Asyik ini dirancang untuk merangsang sel-sel pada enam zona otak, yang sebagian di antaranya mungkin tidak Anda gunakan secara teratur dalam kehidupan pribadi atau kehidupan profesional Anda. Jadi, ayo, senam otak! Wah... menarik sekali! Sungguh! Saya akan beli buku ini. [Mizan, Kaifa, Panduan, Pembelajaran, Indonesia]

Adat dalam Politik Indonesia

Istilah adat dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti kebiasaan atau tradisi dan berkonotasi aturan yang kalem dan harmonis. Namun, dalam tahun-tahun awal masa reformasi – bahkan terkadang sampai beberapa tahun terakhir – adat seringkali diasosiasikan dengan gerakan, protes dan kerusuhan. Sejak Soeharto lengser tahun 1998, masyarakat berbagai daerah dan etnis di Indonesia telah dengan terang-terangan dan vokal, bahkan kadang secara kasar menuntut penerapan adat setempat di daerah mereka masing-masing. Buku ini menelaah kebangkitan adat dalam perpolitikan Indonesia, mengidentifikasi asal-muasal, faktor historis yang memberinya peluang, dan sebab-musabab yang membuatnya berkembang pesat baru baru ini. Buku ini memberikan pertimbangan apakah kebangkitan adat memberikan kontribusi konstruktif pada kondisi baru perpolitikan yang bersifat plural atau justru akan menjadi potensi kekuatan pemecah yang membahayakan, serta mempelajari implikasinya atas perkembangan demokrasi, hak asasi, masyarakat sipil, dan stabilitas politik. Ketertarikan pada adat saat ini bukan hanya karena pemahaman atas kesadaran internasional akan hak asasi, tetapi juga merefleksikan secara khusus tradisi ideologi Indonesia yang mempercayai bahwa prasyarat normaitf yang sah untuk sebuah perjuangan politik dapat ditemukan dalam tiga unsur bumi, manusia yang hidup di atasnya, dan kebiasan-kebiasaan manusia itu. Meski kampanye atas nama adat mungkin berhasil mengemborkan ketidakadilan dalam hal hak kepemilikan tanah dan membantu menjaga ketertiban lokal pada saat-saat sulit, usaha untuk menciptakan basis-basis politik berdasarkan adat tampaknya memiliki banyak titik kerawanan. Bahaya tersebut termasuk konflik etnis yang berkepanjangan, legitimasi atas ketidakmerataan sosial, pengingkaran atas hak-hak individu, menjauhnya perhatian atas kewarganegaraan, demokarsi, dan peraturan serta hukum di tataran nasional. Buku asli dalam bahasa Inggris dengan judul The rerival of tradition in Indonesian politics the deployment of adat from colonialism to indigenismsudah terbit pada tahun 2007. Buku edisi bahasa indonesia ini isinya sama dengan edisi asli (bahasa inggris) kecuali pada bagian kata pengantar edisi Indonesia. Secara keseluruhan, buku ini merupakan studi mendalam atas tumbuhnya adat dalam peta perpolitikan Indonesia dan sebuah sumber penting bagi siapa saja yang mencoba memahami ranah kehidupan politik Indonesia.
