| description | Studies on democracy in Indonesia focus mainly on aspects related to the basic characteristics of
democracy such as the existence of elite circulation through elections that allow everyone to hold
power through a democratic process, the existence of political parties as instruments in political
recruitment and aspects of procedural democracy and other institutional aspects. This study, in line
with the spirit of democratisation in Indonesia, coupled with regional autonomy, focused on the
formation of a public sphere in the transition to democracy at the local level by using the Kebumen
Regency and Batu City as the main cases. The selection of these two regions was based on the
consideration of the awareness of local elites in both regions to create the public sphere by
establishing TV broadcasting stations that theoretically could reach the majority of citizens and involve
citizens to discuss a wide range of common issues they face. The paper was based on a research
conducted in the two regions using a case study approach. The research employed two main methods,
namely in-depth interviews with informants involved in the establishment and management of the
media (Ratih TV Kebumen and Agropolitan TV in Batu City) and used documents on the establishment
and management of the two TV stations. |
