Abstract

This study is aimed to explain the role of newspapers as the media of social criticism during early political consolidation of the New Order until January 15th 1974 unrest. After Sukarno was ousted, Suharto rose into power as a temporary president in 1966, before being inaugurated as a second president of Indonesia in 1967 by MPRS. Opposition newspapers which were banned during Sukarno’s regime, such as Indonesia Raya etc., are permitted to continue publications. Several newly-emerging newspapers such as Harian KAMI, Mahasiswa Indonesia, and Mimbar Demokrasi, participated in the ‘short democratisation process’ before the shift to authoritarian phase after January 15th 1974 unrest. This paper will discuss the transition process from the Guided Democracy era to the New Order, the consolidation process of the New Order, the role of newspapers as a medium of social criticism between 1966-74, and the New Order’s government response regarding social criticisms in the newspapers. The research method used in the preparation of this article includes a literature review through books and journals relevant to the research topic, as well as archival observation of newspapers, but limited to four newspapers: Indonesia Raya, Harian KAMI, Mahasiswa Indonesia, and Mimbar Demokrasi.
