Abstract

The media has an important role in the growth of a democratic climate. This is because the media is able to voice various things from various groups. For example, in the news of the general election. The media should be able to show the diversity of its content, so that the content of the media is not only for one particular group but is able to provide diversity. Indonesia, one of the institutions that has the task of regulating broadcasting is an institution called the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission. This institution has an organizational structure down to the regions called KPID. KPID as an institution that regulates regulations is expected to be able to support this diversity. How KPID supports media diversity efforts is a problem in this study. This research was conducted qualitatively at the Central Java KPID. This research is expected to produce a picture of how KPID^s efforts support the principle of diversity in the context of enforcing democracy in Central Java
