A
recent report released by Charta Politika Indonesian political research
institute says the Bank Century bailout and case of graft suspect Gayus H.
Tambunan were the most popular issues in Indonesia in 2010.
“[These]
were the most popular issues because of their relation to law and politics,
involving a lot of players,” Charta Politika research director Yunarto Wijaya
said Monday as reported by kompas.com.
Research
for the report was conducted by analyzing the contents of six national
newspapers, Kompas, Indopos, Seputar Indonesia, Rakyat

articles, followed by the Gayus H. Tambunan case which occupied 10 percent.
Issues
related to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's second Cabinet were found in 5 percent
of articles, while those related to the national congress of his party shared
the fourth place with stories on terrorism at 3 percent.
