Immoral TV shows<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
Television stations provide entertainment for their viewers,
\nas well as information and education. However, with the
\nincreasingly intense competition between the stations in wooing
\nthe viewers, TV executives seem to be ignoring the fact that
\ntheir programs are devoid of moral values, and are frequently
\ntantamount to pornography.<\/p>\n
The broadcasting law's prohibition on pornography seems to
\nhave escaped their notice, as evident by the fact the many TV
\ndramas portray vulgar scenes that are alien to our cultural
\nvalues. What are the relevant government agencies, like the
\nNational Information Institute and the Film Censorship Board,
\ndoing to stop this? The government should proactively respond to
\nthis issue as it is the government that allows the TV channels to
\noperate in the first place by granting them licenses.<\/p>\n
In view of the highly strategic role of the mass media in
\nconveying messages to society and influencing people's behavior,
\nTV should not be allowed to give rise to a moral crisis to worsen
\nthe multidimensional crisis already prevailing in the country.<\/p>\n
