摘要

许多研究认为,监督新闻业在威权主义下不可能蓬勃发展。然而,以前独裁政权的民主化对监督新闻业的影响仍然鲜为人知。本文以印尼历史最悠久的日报《Kompas》为例,试图填补这一知识空白。根据Kompas新闻编辑室四年的民族志实地调查(2013-2017)和一年的档案审查(2020-2021),这项研究表明,该报并没有真正发挥监督机构的作用。相反,它发展了一种特定的风格,我们将其概念化为“礼貌”的监督新闻,即以不伤害当权者感情的方式监督当权者的不当行为。这种新闻风格是为了应对文化和政治经济力量而发展起来的,这些力量在新闻编辑室中形成了交集。Kompas与独裁政权建立了密切的关系,从而避免了禁令的持续威胁,并确保了他们与当权者密切关系的经济优势。政权更迭后,礼貌的新闻业继续被实践,既是为了保持其政治影响力,也是为了在后威权时代保持其经济优势。

“Polite Watchdog”: Kompas and Watchdog Journalism in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia
Many studies have argued that watchdog journalism cannot flourish under authoritarianism. However, the effect of the democratization of previously authoritarian regimes on watchdog journalism is still poorly understood. This article aims to fill this knowledge gap by using Kompas, Indonesia’s oldest daily newspaper, as a case study. Drawing on four years of ethnographic fieldwork (2013–2017) within Kompas’s newsroom and one year of archival review (2020–2021), this study shows that the newspaper did not truly function as a watchdog. Instead, it developed a specific style that we conceptualize as “polite” watchdog journalism, that is, monitoring the wrongdoing of those in power in such a manner that does not hurt the feelings of those in power. This style of journalism was developed in response to the cultural and political-economic forces that intersected in and shaped its newsroom. Kompas developed close relationships with authoritarian power holders, thereby avoiding the persistent threat of bans and securing the economic advantages of their close ties with those in power. After the regime change, polite journalism continued to be practiced, both to maintain its political leverage and to preserve its economic advantage in the post-authoritarian era.
