Indonesian mass media has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, with advances in digital technology and the growing influence of market forces.This has led to the commodification of media products and the emergence of a highly commodified media industry, characterized by the relentless pursuit of profit, consumerism saturation, and commercialization of all aspects of life.This journal aims to critically examine the impact of this phenomenon on the mass media in Indonesia and its impact on society.Through interdisciplinary perspectives and in-depth case studies, this journal seeks to understand how hyper-commodification of mass media has affected the production, distribution, and consumption of media content in Indonesia, as well as its effects on various aspects of society, including politics, culture, and everyday life.By exploring these complex and interrelated issues, this journal aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of mass media in Indonesia and the impact of hypercommodification on society.

Method
The methodology adopted in this journal incorporates both qualitative and quantitative research approaches.To comprehend the phenomenon of mass media hypercommodification in Indonesia, we will conduct in-depth interviews with media practitioners, media industry experts, and media consumers.These interviews will provide insights into the motivations and challenges of media production, distribution, and consumption in a highly commodified media landscape.Additionally, we will analyze existing media content, including news articles, advertisements, and television programs, to identify patterns and trends in media production and consumption.Content analysis will be employed to evaluate the prevalence of consumerist messages and the commercialization of media content.
Next, a survey will be administered to a representative sample of the Indonesian population to understand media consumption habits and attitudes of the general public.These surveys will provide insight into how hyper-commodification influences media preferences and media consumer expectations.By synthesizing the data collected through these various methods, this journal aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the phenomenon of hypercommodification in Indonesian mass media and its impact on society.This research takes a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating theories and methods from media studies, sociology, cultural studies, and economics, among others.Both qualitative and quantita tive research methods will be used to conduct a comprehensive examination of the topic.Quantitative methods, such as survey research and content analysis, will be employed to collect data and analyze patterns and trends in the mass media industry in Indonesia.The survey will be administered to media professionals and consumers to gather their perceptions and attitudes towards the hypercommodification of the media industry.Content analysis will be carried out on a selection of mass media content to identify the presence and representation of commodification themes and consumerist values.
Qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, and case studies, will be utilized to gain a more nuanced understanding of the experiences and perspectives of key stakeholders in the mass media industry, such as journalists, media owners, and consumers.These methods will enable us to explore the complexities and nuances of mass media hypercommodification in Indonesia and its effects on various aspects of society.By combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, this journal aims to provide a comprehensive study of the topic and a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of Indonesian mass media and the hyper-commodification of society

Results and Discussion
The results of the research conducted for this journal reveal several key findings regarding the impact of hypercommodification on the Indonesian mass media and its effects on society.First, the commodification of mass media in Indonesia has led to an influx of commercialized content, with an increased focus on sensational news, celebrity gossip, and entertainment.This trend has resulted in a saturation of consumerist values in the media landscape and has shaped the public's perception of what is considered newsworthy and important.
Second, the research results indicate that the hyper-commodification of the media industry has a significant impact on the quality of journalism, as journalists face increasing pressure to produce content that is commercially attractive and will lead to higher ratings or viewership.Consequently, this results in a decline in the quality of journalism and the dissemination of inaccurate or biased information.
Third, the research results demonstrate that mass media hypercommodification contributes to the emergence of fake news and misinformation in Indonesia.With an increasing focus on profit over truth, media organizations tend to spread false or misleading information to gain a larger audience and generate more revenue.
Finally, the research results highlight that the hyper-commodification of mass media has a major impact on society, contributing to the dissemination of consumerist values and shaping public perceptions and attitudes towards various social, cultural, and political issues.These findings underscore the complex and interrelated nature of the impact of hyper-commodification on the Indonesian mass media and its effects on society.They emphasize the need for a more critical and nuanced understanding of the media industry and the importance of promoting media literacy and critical thinking among media consumers.
In conclusion, this journal provides valuable insights into mass media hypercommodification in Indonesia and its effects on society.It emphasizes the necessity for further research and interventions to address this issue and promote media literacy and accountability in the media industry.
