ABSTRACT
This study aims to discuss the visualization of corruption through editorial cartoons by examining a case study of Indonesia Raya newspaper in the early years of the New Order during the period of 1968–1974. In the course of its history, Indonesia Raya became one of the newspapers that posted the existence of corruption cases through its editorial cartoons. This article argues that criticism of corruption cases can be traced not only in text, but also in satirical images which are sometimes sarcastic and playful. This research identifies the dynamic development of Indonesia Raya newspaper’s editorial cartoons in enabling the visualization of corruption cases during the early years of the New Order until the Malari event in 1974 which ended the history of the newspaper. Using a historical method, this paper attempts to present the study of visual history to record an event in the history of the country.
