Indonesian broadcasting regulatory and digital challenges

Overview

Broadcasting officials and regulators in Indonesia are addressing the challenges posed by digital transformation and cyber threats. In West Java, the Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID) has emphasized the need to strengthen institutions to protect “cognitive sovereignty” and combat disinformation, particularly for younger demographics. KPID is working with local organizations to promote information literacy to mitigate the risks of hoaxes.

Regulatory concerns have also been raised regarding the imbalance between traditional media and digital platforms, such as Over-The-Top (OTT) and Video on Demand (VOD) services. Officials have noted the heavy supervisory workload required to manage the high density of broadcasting institutions in West Java.

In Jakarta, legislative discussions have focused on the governance of Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI), with calls for the Supervisory Board to prioritize public interest and the welfare of broadcasting workers during periods of budget tightening.
