Television Becomes the Main Medium for Anti-Corruption Campaigns in Indonesia

Anti-corruption campaigns are increasingly reaching Indonesian society, according to a report from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). BPS data shows that 89.6% of Indonesian citizens claim to be aware of anti-corruption campaigns through television media.

Furthermore, 38.5% of the population also considers social media to be actively campaigning for the anti-corruption movement. Meanwhile, 21.5% of the population reported receiving anti-corruption campaigns from billboards, banners, posters, and leaflets.

Public awareness of anti-corruption behavior campaigns increased in 2021, rising from 65.45% in 2020 to 65.52% the following year.

The Anti-Corruption Behavior Index (IPAK) in 2021 reached 3.88 points. This figure increased by 0.4 points from the previous year. The 2021 IPAK was supported by an increase in the perception index to 3.83 points. Meanwhile, the experience index decreased to 3.9 points.

BPS measures IPAK through a number of indicators. These include perceptions of anti-corruption habits or behaviors in society, such as the public's attitude towards the unacceptability of giving money or goods to officials. Another component is calculated from the public's experience, for example, accessing public services and paying more than stipulated.
