Reviews for Media Power in Indonesia: Oligarchs, Citizens and the Digital Revolution
This is a very timely and important study, with relevance for our understanding of Indonesia well beyond the operations of its media. Anyone wishing to understand contemporary Indonesian politics and society, and using the media as their point of entry or as a tool for that understanding, will have their task made easier by Tapsell's study.
