Abstract
This research aims to examine media diversity based on broadcasting categories and broadcast areas. Based on media ecology theory, this research focuses on the current state of the broadcast media industry in Indonesia from the perspective of media ecology and media democratization. This research uses digital methods that focus on data mining to collect and manage a large set of broadcasting media institution data obtained from the official website of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI). Based on the data of broadcasting institutions at the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission, there are 3408 broadcasting institutions in Indonesia. Furthermore, the data is analyzed based on the available data structure, including institution type, network system, broadcasting type, broadcast system, and province. The result of this finding is that the ecological diversity of broadcast media in Indonesia has not been fully realized. The dominance of private broadcasters indicates a very high level of competition. Meanwhile, community broadcasters only exist in some provinces. Furthermore, this condition has the potential to weaken the broadcasting media ecosystem both in terms of industry and democracy.
