Abstract

Democratization in communication is the starting point for mass media in achieving a prosperous information society. However, building an ideal democratic role of media is not trouble free. The incredible pace of the development of media industry in Indonesia in the last two decades poses at least two main threats to media consumers. First, the growth of the media industry in Indonesia has been driven by capital interests that lead to media oligopoly. Second, the integration of conventional media and the internet and social media technology place our society information flow on a stranglehold. The media consolidation gives the audience an illusion of information choice without realizing that actually they are losing their rights for reliable information. Hence, an upgrade of media literacy skill and a proper media policy are needed to cope with the current fast-paced world.

印度尼西亚媒体格局和媒体政策的动态

传播民主化是大众传媒实现信息社会繁荣的起点。然而，建立一个理想的媒体民主角色并非没有麻烦。过去二十年来，印尼媒体产业发展的惊人速度，至少对媒体消费者构成两大威胁。首先，印尼传媒业的发展受到资本利益的推动，导致媒体寡头垄断。其次，传统媒体与互联网和社交媒体技术的融合使我们的社会信息流受到了束缚。媒体整合给了受众一种信息选择的错觉，却没有意识到他们实际上正在失去获得可靠信息的权利。因此，需要提高媒介素养技能和制定适当的媒介政策来应对当前快节奏的世界。

期刊介绍： Asia Pacific Media Educator is an international refereed journal published twice a year by SAGE Publications (New Delhi) in collaboration with the School of the Arts, English and Media, Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong in Australia. The journal follows international norms and procedures of blind peer reviewing by scholars representing a wide range of multi-disciplinary areas. APME focuses on generating discussions and dialogues among media educators, researchers and journalists. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer review. APME also carries a Q&A section with book authors. APME takes conventional book reviews to a more creative level where reviewers directly engage with authors to understand the process that authors take in researching and writing the book, clarify their assumptions and pose critical questions.
