MAKNA DAN MODEL KOMUNIKASI PEMBANGUNAN

Abstract

This article is a review towards the communication development theory and practices in Indonesia, to analyze on how the tendencies of the usage of the development model and how it should be. Through the literature study, it illustrates that the participatory development model apparently has not become the main strategy. The linear model through the dissemination of information and innovation diffusion is still the dominant paradigm. The usage of Communication and Information Technology for development, which focuses more on the provision of infrastructure have not yet been supported by the participatory and continuous model of empowerment model. The Communication and Information Technology has already become the social transformation paradigm which provides opportunities to increase the development capacity more rapidly and effectively. Based on the paradigm, this analysis offers a convergence of communication development model which is hoped to be able to mobilize all resources collaboratively and optimally.
