Strong and weak media? On the representation of 'terorisme' in contemporary Indonesia

Article Abstract:

Study of the mainstream Indonesian print and online media coverage of the JW Marriott hotel bombing, the Bali bombing and the Christmas Eve bombings are illustrated. The Indonesian media seems to be undergoing certain transformations as it comes to grips with a foreign discourse, the broadly western discourse on terrorism, and this transformation is mainly due to the growing accessibility of the Internet to media practitioners in developing nations.
