| Title | Dynamics of NGOs and Media Coalition Building for Policy Advocacy: Case Study of Indonesian NGOs-Media Relationship in Freedom of Information Bill Campaign |
| Summary | When NGOs want to advocate policy change, the support of mass media is usually crucial. In advocacy for freedom of information (FoI) legislations, the media is generally viewed as the natural ally. However, the relationship dynamics between NGOs and media in FoI advocacies are not necessarily effortless, as both sides have distinct features which may mold the coalition way of work. How does the dynamics of NGOs and media in FoI advocacy shape the coalition behavior? Using case study as the methodology, this thesis probes on such dynamics by looking at how the NGOs-media coalition building influence the Freedom of Information policy advocacy in Indonesia. This thesis finds that the high expectation from NGOs, combined with lack of understanding of each NGOs’ and the mass media’s needs and interests, led to disappointments during the eight years of coalition. However, the shared beliefs and change of Koalisi persuasion strategy towards the media made them to survive the rift and push forward the legislation. |
