The Press in New Order Indonesia
is the most comprehensive book
available in English on the print media during the Suharto presidency.
Based on detailed and investigative research, it provides a succinct
introduction to the political and economic forces shaping this dominant
sector of the Indonesian media at a pivotal time in its development. The
study documents the history of the press prior to the rise of President
Suharto, surveys the changing New Order policies to the media, and
analyses the various modes of control exercised through powerful
government agencies and industry bodies. Throughout this critical
historical period of political tension and economic transition,
The
Press in New Order Indonesia
traces the development of huge media
conglomerates which began to rival military muscle in shaping the media
landscape of Indonesia. This study explains how the student press
spilled off the campuses to play a unique political role. By contrast, a
distinctly Islamic press achieved only very modest success. Focusing on
Indonesian-language national daily newspapers, it also discusses news
weeklies, periodicals and magazines, as well as publications in regional
languages, English and Chinese. "The Press in New Order Indonesia" is
required reading for students of Indonesian languages and cultures,
Asian studies, Southeast Asian studies, media studies, journalism, and
contemporary politics.
