Seeing Twitter Netizens Discussing 'KPK EndGame' Through Netray Monitoring

JAKARTA - The EndGame: The Last Round Against Corruption directed by WatchDoc has become one of the most lively and long-lasting discussions in recent weeks. There are many interesting things behind this discussion. We analyze through media monitoring, Netray.

The film EndGame: The Last Round Against Corruption features testimonies from employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK).

They revealed a number of facts, including denying various accusations and stigmatizing religious radicalism. EndGame: The Final Round Against Corruption officially releases on June 13, 2021 on the Watchdoc YouTube channel.

What's interesting is that Netray reveals this crowd, even since the film hasn't been released yet. According to monitoring on Twitter, the crowd for EndGame: The Final Round Against Corruption has been building since June 1 and peaked on June 14.

Netray's monitoring noted that there were 1,403 total tweets which were dominated by negative sentiment towards the issues raised: TWK. Impressions on this topic reached 110.2K, with a reach of over 23.3M accounts.

The infographic below shows netizens' conversations regarding the TWK topic during the Netray monitoring period.

The TWK issue dragged the discussion on the weakening of the KPK through the revision of the KPK Law (UU). We know that the revision of the KPK Law was strongly rejected until large demonstrations broke out in various regions in Indonesia.

When observed through Top Words above, it can be seen that some of the vocabularies used by netizens in discussing issues around TWK. Some of them: nobar, watchdoc, attenuation, cool and some other vocabulary.

In addition, the Top Words above also shows some of the hashtags used by netizens. These include: #belumlulustwk, #kpkendgame, #beranijujurpecat, and #theendgame.

Through the analysis carried out on tweets related to the topics raised in the film EndGame: The Last Round Against Corruption, it can be seen that most of the netizens expressed their sad feelings.

Netray's findings match what we find in the real-life dimension. In our coverage of JURNALISM RASA entitled We Go to the Location of Nobar 'KPK EndGame' and Prove Sabotage Can't Roll the Screen that Has Developed, we capture the same concern.

On June 6, several attempts were made to 'ban' digital content related to the documentary the EndGame: The Last Round Against Corruption. Allegations of sabotage were also carried out on parties who organized self-help group viewing (nobar) and discussions about it.

In this edition of JOURNALISM RASA, we visited Infus Coffee, one of the most popular locations in South Jakarta. Sabotage failed to quell. The enthusiasm is even more sparked. Ryan, a resident of Bandung who we met at the location expressed his concern about the continuity of the KPK.

“In my opinion, the KPK is an institution whose integrity is still idealistic. So if I see that the KPK is truly independent, that's how it is. So this institution really deserves to be maintained. If I'm with other institutions, it's really stupid. Why believe again? If the KPK is really very useful like that. If the KPK is destroyed, yes, corruption is rampant," he said.
