- Abstract
This study attempts to understand the functions, impact and challenges of media regulation by focusing on the respective regulating bodies in Malaysia and Indonesia. For this purpose, Malaysian media regulators from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum (CMCF) preceded their counterparts from the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia, KPI) and the Press Council (Dewan Pers) in giving out in-depth interviews. In general, the findings have shown that issues related to media governance and regulation practices are not exclusive to but mutually shared between both countries. Comparatively, we have identified three broad areas as salient to the discourse of governance and regulation in Malaysia and Indonesia. First is modus operandi. In both countries, the monitoring and regulating of media policies and laws are generally non-confrontational but co-operative. Second is on transparency. Malaysian regulators are much less willing to inform and share with the members of the public spheres than their Indonesian counterparts. This is because in Indonesia the public may involve themselves in media coverage through interactive programs. There is a real conceptual difference between these nation-states when it comes to the freedom and access to information. Indonesian authorities have certainly upped the ante in transparent governance by deploying social media application such as Facebook to keep the public informed of the reasons to their actions. Interestingly, Malaysian authorities, however, seems to have the tendency of deferring information from the public spheres before eventually explaining their actions or sanctions eventually transparent. Third is autonomy. Whilst regulators are duty-bound by broadcasting laws, ethics and other stipulations, it appears that charging offenders is never always the sole prerogative of the enforcer for it may take a 'consultative turn' when it involves media conglomerates-cum-politicians. The diminishing authority of regulating authorities have raised questions regarding media governance and autonomy for public scrutiny.
