As we know, there are two platforms in conventional media: printed and broadcasting. These platforms, especially newspapers and television, are still dominant to spread information and to influence society’s behavior. In the challenge of media convergence to the digital and social media era, society confirms that printed media and television produce objective and critical news journalism. The author chose television as an object of study because it is a combination of audio and visual aspects that can give the audience or society complete information, including entertainment. Unfortunately, the political view of the media owner influences the society trust. The media owner’s political view makes the information is no longer neutral. It tends not only to fulfill their interest in political matters. But it also affects journalism ethics and goal, which is serving and giving information for society. This condition put the neutrality for their journalists is hard to achieve. They must accommodate the media owner’s policy while reporting the news. This research describe how politic interest from media owner’s influence on the neutrality and independence of journalism. This “media crisis” situation would be harmful to the process of building society resilient. Society must be protected from the “misleading” information, which only gives an advantage to the media’s owner. This research helps the society select verified information to face the challenge in globalization era.
