IMBALANCE of NEWS-REPORTING

In this more matured era,
where 'everyparty' has known how powerful a media really is,
how a media could build someone's or someparty's image.

so there is a 'information barrier' made by the authorities,
to cover their agency from a bad image.

for example, when the Tragedy of Tanjung Priok happened last time.
Almost Every TV Station, together, didn't broadcast the Police's violations (brutality),
But,
they only did covering and broadcasting
the story of residents' anarchist actions to the police,
like Abusing them, or Stealing and Burning their Car, Etc.
(the word they refers to the Police/Agency)


I think that THIS IS the IMBALANCE of REPORTING NEWS..
in other words,
Everything watched by the Audience or Viewer is not fully right,
the medias don't show us all everything right.
(it just like eating sushi without soy sauce or wasabi,
it's REALLY NOT complete)hehe


the Reporting which is done by every TV-Station is NOT FAIR
in Broadcasting.
probably, this could happen because 'The Unwritten Laws"
by Authorities or any Party,
which tries to limit media, so their imperfectness isn't exposed.

And for Tanjung Priok's Case, it's only to EXPOSE
how much LOSS and Damaged they are,

Yapphh, It's Really Hard to go AGAINST the Authority's Hegemony,


While Media doesn't Offer all information needed,
So the Paradigm of Amateur Viewer/Audience will be more on Supporting the Police,
rather than Supporting the Residence (Locals) to save one of Jakarta's Heritage
(Mbah Priok's Graveyard)

This IS Agenda-Setting Theory!!!



TV Stations are always Exposing this:

but they never even try to expose this:
