To be honest, a lot of surprise
arises when private TVs in Indonesia seems so busy covering U.S. Election 2008.
The
audience not only surprised, but also disrupted. Well, sorry...
Typically, foreign news up date in just enough republished from the foreign media, is not it? But this time the audience saw all private TVs Indonesia as competing directly send reporters to cover the elections Uncle Sam's State. In fact, previous elections is not as euphoria. Why? Maybe, who want to pursue prestige and displayed?
Because of the audience, it is actually not so euphoric to want to know the details of the U.S. election. Most of the people are still struggling with the question of 'hardship' and living expenses are increasingly inflated. "What is the importance of the U.S. election for Indonesia," that's the question of most people here.

Unfortunately, our private TVs competing sending reporters all the way to the superpower US, it does not give an answer to that question. Most of the news coverage in particular was oversized, potluck, or just follow the euphoria of U.S. persons only. Then review how the U.S. is very advanced in democracy as elections, certainly not a new thing, is not it? Everyone already knows it.
When, finally favorite candidate from Democrat Party, Barack Obama was elected as the president, not a single private TV's that can translate well in that instantly the contents of Obama's victory speech was broadcast live. At this moment, it is more and more people want to know what the president-elected said in a speech.
Very regrettable. Private TV who claim to be the television news in Indonesia (Metro TV) translate directly address it in so long, even others interpret them incorrectly Television (RCTI). News anchor woman said, Obama to thank Mc Cain (rival) in the election. Why? In fact, Obama revealed that he has received congratulations on his victory from Mc Cain. Then, he invited his rival to jointly build the U.S.. Be, the newscaster who was dressed up with long curly hair looks stupid. Because, conveying false information. Hehe ...
It seems that the private TVs we still have much to learn to cover foreign news directly, but it can fulfill the curiosity of viewers in Indonesia precisely. It need to be smarter. Do not just fielded a reporter's to abroad for prestige, but the result of struggled coverage is not at all memorable. Not worth it, right? It must have great cost for the coverage. Prestige is not obtained, the info did not get to the public. (Annisa Public Relations Agency)
