Three Names That Are Often Discussed In 2019: Jokowi, Prabowo And Sandiaga

JAKARTA - Throughout 2019, there were three people who were talked about the most. They are Joko Widodo, Prabowo Subianto, and Sandiaga Uno.

These three people are competing in the 2019 Election. It is only natural that the three of them are often reported in the Indonesian media.

Jokowi is a presidential candidate nominated by PDI Perjuangan, Golkar Party, NasDem Party, PPP, Hanura Party, PKPI, PSI, Perindo Party and PBB. Jokowi paired up with Ma'ruf Amin and got serial number 01.

Meanwhile, Prabowo and Sandiaga are the pair who are Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin's rivals. The pair number 02 is supported by the Gerindra Party, the Democratic Party, PAN, PKS, and the Berkarya Party.

The reporting of these three people began to increase from January when the first debate for the presidential and vice presidential candidates was held by the KPU to the presidential election which took place in May.

In addition, news about government is the most dominant in online media, followed by sports and the economy.

"The negative content is more than positive, namely 35 percent compared to 32 percent," explained researcher from the monitoring media agency Netray, Winda Trilatifah, Tuesday (31/12/2019).

At the beginning of the year, the Presidential and Cawapres Debates and the arrest of artist Vanessa Angel for prostitution cases graced the online media.

Meanwhile, the issue of cleaning up BUMN Minister Erick Thohir and the Manila SEA Games became the most busy news topics at the end of the year.
