Abstract

The football supporters in Indonesia frequently experience negative stigma from mainstream media, mainly when violence concerning football occurs. The supporters become media convicts and are covered as the cause of violence in the football world. Against this stigma, community media, which are managed by the football supporters, emerge in several cities like in Sleman, Surabaya, Jakarta, and Bandung. The community media that are organized by the football supporters prove that their negative stigma, as labeled by mainstream media, should be reconsidered. The existence of community media shows the development of football literacy in the circle of football fans. Granted, the football community media also experience some issues. This research aims to map the issues and the conditions of football community media’s editorial room in Sleman, Surabaya, Jakarta, and Bandung. This research shows that the development model of supporter-based football community media in Indonesia is characterized by four main features. Firstly, the utilization of the internet platform as a community media. Secondly, the analysis and review of the match as the superior content. Thirdly, the involvement of fans as the contributor content, which can be seen as a supporters’ journalism, and of readers to finance the continuity of community media through selling merchandise and donation by crowdfunding scheme. The collaboration among community media, fans, and club management is very significant in developing the football supporters’ media community in Indonesia. Furthermore, the participation of football supporters to support community media becomes capital in developing the community media in Indonesia.
