Abstract

National press ideally should become a fourth pillar of democracy by means of controlling state actors
and private sector effectively. This ideal practically never materializes since press it is an economic
entity operating to serve its economic and political interests. As such, it never works in vacuum. It
conducts its journalistic work to meet its vested-interest in order to survive. This was done unfortunately
at the expenses of sacrificing its duties to serve public interest as its top priority. It is not surprising to
see that issues covered are detached from the interest of the public. What being reported and
disseminated in the press are consistent with the people’s advantage. This calls for public or civic
journalism to reconnect the society with both government and news media. By doing so, press would
able to accelerate people’ participation and involve them at decision proses making which affect their
life. Citizen journalism which come into being as the result of information and communication
technology advancement have people’s involvement at public life even stronger. This article tries to
explicate the essence of public or civic journalism along with its brief historical account. Combined
with citizen journalism, public journalism could pave the way for people’s political participation within
public life.
