The characteristics of investigative news organizations in Indonesia between 2010-2012

Abstract

The present study is aimed at describing the characteristics of investigative news organizations in the post-New Order Indonesia, which is marked by political openness that can accelerate the growth of investigative activities in the new democratic Indonesia. This research has found managerial diversities among investigative news organizations. These news organizations have different human and financial resources. Some of them are even worried that they may face legal problems. The existence of investigative news organizations in Indonesia is actually an alternative media in filling the empty space caused by the phenomenon of fake news in the era of Post-Truth.
