Abstract: Political transition in Indonesia since 1998 has created uncertain situation for most Indonesian people. Moreover, the hard economic condition has multiplied the number of people living below the poverty line. In these circumstances, the light entertainments such as situation comedy, which blends the portrait of ordinary people and their quaint life style, occupied the prime time of television programming in Indonesia. This paper discusses the popularity of the situation comedy Bajaj Bajuri (bajaj literally means “two-passenger pedicab motor with scooter machine”) in contemporary Indonesia. This series is about the daily life of Bajuri’s (bajaj’s driver) family and their lower class neighbours in the edge of metropolitan Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia). Therefore, this paper focuses on the representation of the marginalised people and how television constructed the boundary of marginality. This paper argues that situation comedy is not only reinforcing stereotype of the lower class group but also transgressing the stereotypical image of the lower class by parodying and abusing popular discourse.

Information Strategies

Complete evaluation of anti-drug abuse campaigns should examine not only the messages created, but the programming content which makes up the information environment for those receiving these messages. A content analysis of one major information source (prime time TV) indicates that drug-relevant information is being disseminated and should be taken into account in planning information strategies. Commercial appeals promoting chemical agent use and programming which largely neglects abuse potentials suggest cautions for the strategy planner and questions for media programmers.

Livsstilsprogrammer har siden slutningen af 1990’erne domineret programfladen i den tidlige prime time på de danske public service-kanaler DR og TV 2. Dermed er emner, som figurerer i bl.a. magasiner og ugeblade, massivt rykket ind på tv’s sendeflade. Bolig, have, mad, ferie, krop og sundhed er indholdet i programmer, der både vil informere, give gode råd og underholde seerne. Artiklen fokuserer på underholdningsdimensionen i tre kategorier af livsstilsprogrammer og undersøger elementer, der kan tænkes at fremme motivationen for at se dem. Her lægges vægten på hhv. vidensperspektivets kompetenceaspekt og livsstilsbegrebets imaginative muligheder i relation til drømmen om ’det gode liv’ og ønsket om den forjættende forandring. Artiklen diskuterer endvidere, hvorledes public service-fjernsynet med disse livsstilsprogrammer har suppleret dets oplysende funktion med en opdaterende funktion, og hvordan dets tidligere kulturelt dannende funktion i kraft af disse programmers karakter af manual kan opfattes som en slags livsstilsguide i forhold til markedets forbrugsmuligheder. Lifestyle as TV entertainment Since the late 1990s lifestyle programmes have dominated early prime time on the Danish public service channels, DR and TV 2. For this reason topics that have traditionally figured in magazines extensively have entered television programming. House, garden, vacation, body, and health form the content of programmes which aim to both inform, advise and entertain viewers. The article primarily focuses on the aspects of entertainment in three main lifestyle categories and is concerned with elements that might promote viewers’ motivation for watching such programmes. Importance is attached to the competence aspect of knowledge and to the imaginative possibilities connected to the idea of lifestyle, related to daydreams, ideas of ‘the good life’, and a desire for promising change. Furthermore, the article discusses how public service has supplemented the educational function with a function of updating, and how the previous cultural educative function has changed with lifestyle programming in as far as this programming has a more instrumental character and may be regarded as a manual and guide to lifestyle related to the market.

The effect of the media over the society is the object of the studies of the social science of communication since its founding up to today. A lot of scientific theories explore, argues and explain the connections and the effect of the media over the public. The purpose of this paper is to evident and argument the effect that the media, especially the TV programming has on the politicization of the Kosovar society, which is manifested in a large number of conversations that have to do with politics. In order to argument the direct link between the content of the TV programming (as a media) and political conversations among citizens, this writing will present the results of measuring the contents of the four biggest TV stations in Kosovo: RTK, KTV, RTV 21 and Klan Kosova. What was measured is the amount of programs that have political content within a week at the time when the viewing is at its peak, or in what is known as prime time, from 17 00 to 24 00 h. It also involves an opinion poll of the public which was asked about the influence of the content of TV programs on their daily conversations. The results of programming contents prove a very high percentage of political programs on these four TV stations (RTK 1, KTV, RTV 21 and Klan Kosova), whereas the results of the public polling prove the direct influence of the contents of this programs on the daily conversations.

<p>After more than a decade with no quantitative update on the progress of advertising's integration of disabled characters this study found 29 out of 1,671 prime-time commercials analyzed included images of disability. Although the raw number is only 1.7% of the total sample it represents a 200% increase over 1999 totals.&nbsp; The portrayals were much more likely to be major characters than background roles and the disability depicted in the commercials tended to be from a more diverse set of conditions than it was in the late 1980s.&nbsp; Based on an approximately equal sample of television programming the ability-integrated advertising (AI advertising) appeared more frequently on cable channels (52%) than network channels (39%).&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Keywords: ability-integrated advertising, content analysis, disability and advertising, SADP</em></p>
