The Impact of Policy Inconsistency on Digital Broadcasting Transformation in Indonesia’s Border Regions
Abstract
The media landscape in Indonesia closely follows global trends in the broadcasting industry, with digitalization bringing significant changes to the sector and its implementation. This study examines the consistency of broadcasting digital transformation policies amid technological disruption, focusing specifically on border areas of the country. Using a qualitative approach and literature review, the research investigates factors that hinder policy implementation and assesses their impact on border communities in West Kalimantan province. The findings reveal that inconsistent policy implementation regarding digital transformation in broadcasting has resulted in local communities being deprived of balanced and accurate information, making them vulnerable to biased or incomplete news. This information gap significantly affects the social cohesion and development opportunities of border populations. To address these challenges, the study recommends that government authorities enhance coordination and monitoring mechanisms to ensure uniform policy enforcement. Additionally, investment in digital infrastructure and capacity-building programs for local broadcasters and communities is essential to improve access and media literacy. Strengthening these areas will help guarantee equitable information distribution, empower border communities, and support inclusive national development.
Keywords: digital transformation, digital broadcasting, country border areas.
