Politicians control the frequencies
In the approach to the poll in Indonesia held on April and July 2014, many have expressed deep concern on the situation of the media, which is controlled by only a few people. The involvement of media owners and journalists in political parties has led many people to question the credibility of media in covering the general election.
AJI Indonesia found many ethical breaches by television stations related to the their coverage of the election, mainly about political advertisements. According to the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (Indonesian: Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia or KPI), television stations committed both journalistic and non-journalistic abuses in their broadcasts.
Media businessmen who are also high party officials violated journalistic responsibility for independent and fair coverage through news, special programming, and block-time political live shows. Meanwhile, non-journalistic content includes political advertisements that promote the presidential candidate or political party of the media owners.
A KPI evaluation found that at least six television stations had disproportionately political broadcasting and excessive political advertisements containing elements of political campaigning. These six broadcasting institutions are RCTI, MNC TV, Global TV, ANTV, TV One and Metro TV. Other television stations also violated political campaign ethics and broadcasting regulation standards (under the Code of Conduct of Broadcasters and Broadcast Program Standards, or P3SPS) on a different scale. Needless to say, politicians now control free-to-air TV frequencies by dominating broadcasting institutions.
