Abstrak
Pers merupakan realisasi serta aktualisasi dari kebebasan untuk mengeluarkan pendapat dengan tulisan. Pers mempunyau tugas informasi yakni menyampaikan informasi kepada masyarakat umum melalui kegiatan yang teratur. Mahasiswa melalui Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa (LPM) selalu menciptakan produk-produk berita yang kritis serta logis, namun di era reformasi ini Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa sering mengalami pembredelan dan intimidasi, padahal perlindungan hukum bagi pers telah diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 40 Tahun 1999 tentang Pers. Tertuang dalam Pasal 8 secara tegas mengatakan bahwa wartawan ketika melakukan pekerjaannya dilindungi oleh hukum. Namun karena statusnya adalah mahasiswa yang masih dibebani oleh tanggung jawab akademik sehingga mahasiswa tidak dapat dikategorikan sebagai wartawan yang mendapatkan perlindungan hukum. Selain itu, Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa juga tidak memenuhi perusahaan pers yang berbadan hukum sebagaimana dijelaskan pada Pasal 1 angka 2 juncto Pasal 9 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Pers. Sehingga dengan ini pers mahasiswa sangat rentan mendapatkan ancaman, tindakan represif hingga pembredelan karena tidak terlindungi dalam Undang-Undang Pers. Hal tersebut dapat mengganggu pers mahasiswa dalam tugas dan fungsinya melaksanakan kegiatan jurnalistik.
