Dalam konteks ekonomi politik komunikasi, penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan pendekatan paradigma kritis yang menggunakan pandangan Mosco terkait komodifikasi isi berita, komodifikasi khalayak dan komodifikasi pekerja media. Televisi telah membangun konstruksi realitas empirik menjadi realitas tayangan. Akibatnya, dalam banyak hal, identitas dalam masyarakat kontemporer baik yang modern maupun pasca-modern semakin dijembatani oleh citra media yang memberikan model dan gagasan ideal yang dapat dijadikan contoh identitas pribadi. Masyarakat menyukai kontroversi yang selalu dapat dipertanyakan dan diperdebatkan dan tidak pernah memuaskan khalayak. Inilah yang dikomodifikasi oleh media untuk mendapatkan keuntungan bisnis dalam konteks ekonomi politik media. Hadirnya Rocky Gerung dalam program Kupas Tuntas CNN Indonesia terbukti telah membantu meningkatkan awareness dan tingkat kepemirsaan program ini. Kontroversi dan perdebatan dari tayangan ini juga direplikasi di berbagai platform media sosial lain. Maka dapat dikatakan relasi antara Rocky Gerung dan industri media khususnya televisi adalah relasi yang saling menguntungkan. Kata kunci: Komodifikasi, televisi, kontroversi, khalayak, isi berita.
