Rising concern about the impact of internet usage among teenagers needs to be continuously addressed. Teenagers’ awareness of online privacy was the focus of this study on account of frequent sharing of private information in social media. This study is an exploratory research which tries to map and understand the psychological and cultural aspects of vulnerable online privacy practice by teenagers. The data were collected through a survey and interviews with high school students in Bandung, Indonesia. This study found that teenagers’ knowledge, awareness, and management of online privacy was relatively low. Psychologically, teenagers often need others to talk to. To maintain relationship, some cultural aspects, such as togetherness, friendliness, and openness to strangers were perceived as important. However, those aspects were the causes of poor online privacy practices. A call for increased media literacy and the development of cyber law that can anticipate internet-based crime especially against teenagers, were discussed.

Penelitian ini melakukan kajian terhadap MQ TV sebagai satu-satunya televisi lokal nonjaringan yang masih tersisa di kota Bandung. Televisi lokal lainnya seperti STV, IMTV, GarudaTV, BandungTV, PegiaTV telah beralih menjadi televisi berjaringan atau Stasiun Siaran Jaringan (SSJ). MQ TV didirikan tahun 2006 dengan Abdullah Gymnastyar sebagai pemilik atau investor pendiriannya. Pertanyaannya yang muncul adalah bagaimana MQ TV dapat bertahan sebagai media lokal nonjaringan?. Apakah pilihan sebagai TV lokal berbasis agama menjadi kekuatan bagi MQ TV? Melalui focus group discussion dan wawancara mendalam penelitian ini berupaya menggali dan menganalisis keberadaan MQ TV serta tantangan dan peluang yang dimilikinya sebagai media lokal nonjaringan di era digital. Hasil Penelitian menemukan bahwa MQ TV mengalami tantangan yang berat dan sempat terpuruk dengan hanya memiliki lima orang praktisi media yang terus menjaga agar MQ TV terus beroperasi. Terdapat beberapa faktor penting yang mendukung keberlangsungan MQ TV yaitu adanya investor lokal yang berkomitmen terhadap keberadaan MQ TV dan penggunaan media digital yang dapat terus memfasilitasi proses pengumpulan, pengolahan dan distribusi konten di MQ TV. Sementara itu keberlangsungan tersebut juga tidak lepas dari tantangan yang dimiliki seperti masalah keuangan, sumberdaya, dan respon khalayak yang masih terbatas. Adapun salah satu peluang yang menarik adalah penggunaan media digital oleh MQ TV dapat memberikan data terkait kunjungan khalayak pada MQ TV secara digital. Melalui data ini maka MQ TV memiliki data akurat sebagai dasar untuk menawarkan porogramnya pada pengiklan di media digital.

The fast-growing social media in Indonesia has opened up opportunities for spreading feminist ideas to a wider and more diverse audience. Various social media accounts especially Instagram that focus on gender advocacy and feminism such as @indonesiafeminis, @lawanpatriarki, and @feminismanis have developed in Indonesia. However, the development of the social media platform also presents groups that oppose feminists. One of the accounts of women’s groups that oppose feminists is @indonesiatanpafeminis.id (@indonesiawithoutfeminist.id). The research objectives are namely to analyze the diversity of issues and reveal the discourse contestation that developed in the @indonesiatanpafeminis.id, and dynamic relationships on the online and offline spaces between groups of feminists and anti-feminists or the other interest. This research employed the digital ethnography method that utilized observation, interview, and literature study as data collection techniques. This study found that the online conversations at @indonesiatanpafeminis.id revealed misconceptions on feminism from a group of women with a religious identity. Furthermore, the conversation also tends to strengthen patriarchal values with religious arguments that are gender-biased. However, the @indonesiatanpafeminis.id serves as a public space for open debates and education on feminist issues. The anti-feminist group behind the @indonesiatanpafeminis.id are women who identify themselves in a certain Muslim circle that has political, cultural, and religious agendas. One of the agendas is to influence the public to reject the Sexual Violence Eradication Bill. This study also noted the Muslim supporters of anti-feminism in Indonesia are less popular compared to progressive religious-based Muslim women organizations such as Aisyiyah (Muhammadiyah), Muslimat NU (Nahdlatul Ulama), and Rahima (Center for Education and Information on Islam and Women’s Rights). The study also evokes discussion on how the feminist and anti-feminist discourses can be utilized to criticize and develop the women’s movement or feminism in a multicultural context.

This chapter will elaborate on the objectification and subjectification of women in the media. The dilemmatic situation between the process of objectification and subjectification of women in television dramas will have implications on women and ultimately on how society sees and positions women. One of the media realities in Indonesia, soap operas, has become a television product that is very popular, especially among women. Currently, soap operas generally occupy prime time which is owned by almost all televisions, therefore the advertising revenue from these shows is very tempting. A popular soap opera can reap advertisements in one episode up to billions of rupiah. Meanwhile, television viewers to date also occupy the largest audience percentage compared to other media. The question is what are the implications on the self-development of women’s audiences and society’s view of women. Based on that, this chapter will discuss an introduction to the subjectification and objectification of women in the media as a phenomenon, both conceptually and theoretically. Various realities of objectification and subjectification that occur in several media and will also be described, the last section will describe a critical study of the existing cases and how changes were made possible and by whom.
