To date, newspaper literature has developed its massive role in the dynamic progress of the Indonesian literature. Result of the study shows that newspaper literature becomes an integral part of the industry of culture under capitalist institution whose order is otonomously accomplished. The hegemony of industrialism upon newspaper literature has to be encountered wisely since its implication affect the development of intelect, spiritual, aesthetic value, and at the same time turn out to be the reflection of the society cultural aspect. Ultimately, newspaper literature in Indonesia colors the dynamic progress of the Indonesian literature. Indirectly, the editor of newspaper literature, as the man behind the scene, contributes a significant role to the development of newspaper literature. In this way, the editor’s otonomous criticism has to be carried out seriously. Conditions prescribed by the editor concerning the trend of theme, structure, and genre cannot be seen as a restriction to the author’s creative process. Rather it must be appreciated as a media to make all writers aware that newspaper literature is an unseperable part of the industry of culture.
