Syaiful Halim1.
In the fast development of social reality like right now, it is possible for media to
have greater role. Media are not only the channel that transmits information
throughout the world but also media are the medium to design agenda and notify
humans important things so that it becomes materials for interaction in other
communication channels.Mass media have systematic influence in the political
system and public policy.
The political accountability is opportunity for politicians to making responsible
for their activities and all issues before their audience whether they is part of their
constituents or not. Therefore, impression management style (the techniques used
by actors to develop some impressions in certain circumstances for some goal
achievements) like proposed by Erving Goffman in his dramaturgy theory. There
are many examples described on the stuttering attitude of politicians' political
accountability in this country.
Recently there are some tendencies among the media owners to embrace "some
political party cadres" to occupy the important positions in the media from
members of the board of editors to the position of chief editors. With the naked
eye, it may be really meant as efforts of building political power for the related
media if compared to to the achievement of media professionalism.
