REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG \u2013 Commission I of the West Java DPRD\nsupports strengthening broadcasting institutions as credible information\nsources amidst the overwhelming flow of information on social media.<\/p>\n
This support was conveyed by a member of Commission I of the West\nJava DPRD, Rafael Situmorang, during a Forum Group Discussion (FGD) held\nby the West Java branch of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI)\nat Pasundan University on Wednesday (13\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
According to Rafael, broadcasting issues are a strategic matter that\nneeds to be supported through policy and budget allocation. This will\nenable broadcasting institutions to optimally carry out their\neducational, informational, and social control functions amidst the\ndevelopment of digital media.<\/p>\n
\u201cBroadcasting issues are important for us to support, both through\nregulations and budgets, so that broadcasting institutions can become\ninstitutions that are listened to by the public,\u201d said Rafael.<\/p>\n
He also mentioned the need for regulation of social media content,\nwhich he believes is currently unregulated. However, he said that this\nauthority lies at the national level through legislation.<\/p>\n
Rafael hopes that the research compiled by the West Java KPI through\nthe forum can provide strategic input in the preparation of policies to\nstrengthen the broadcasting ecosystem while maintaining information\nresilience amidst the dominance of digital media.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the West Java branch of the Indonesian\nBroadcasting Commission, Adiyana Slamet, explained that the forum was a\ncontinuation of previous discussions that discussed the behaviour of\nGeneration Z from a broadcasting psychology perspective.<\/p>\n
In this forum, the discussion was expanded through the perspective of\nnational resilience with a Pancagatra approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf previously we looked at it from the psychological, cognitive, and\naffective sides, this time the perspective is broader, including\nideology, politics, economy, socio-culture, as well as defence and\nsecurity. This is important because it is related to national\nresilience,\u201d said Adiyana.<\/p>\n
He added that the strength of broadcasting media in West Java needs\nto be continuously strengthened so that it can become a balancing force\namidst the dominance of social media, especially in providing accurate\ninformation for Generation Z.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-dprd-and-kpi-strengthen-information-resilience-amid-social-media-dominance-1780579901", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
