Siwo PWI National Working Meeting 2025: North Sumatra, Banten, And NTB Candidates To Host Porwanas 2027
BANJARMASIN - Three provinces, namely North Sumatra, Banten and West Nusa Tenggara, are running for host of the 2027 National Journalists Sports Week or Porwanas.
This is one of the results of the decision of the 2025 SIWO National Working Meeting or National Working Meeting which took place in Banjarmasin, 7-8 February 2025. This SIWO National Working Meeting is also a series of National Press Day in South Kalimantan which peaked its celebration on February 9.
Porwanas takes place every three years, which is a gathering place for national journalists throughout Indonesia. In Porwanas 2024, 35 provinces and West Java came out as the overall champion.
"The SIWO National Working Meeting in Banjarmasin gave birth to several great ideas. One of the things that attracted the existence of three provinces that nominated the host. They will be asked to immediately complete the letter of support from the Governor and also the DPRD," said Chairman of SIWO PWI Pusat, Agus Susanto.
"North Sumatra has held several national events of journalists, only those who are not yet Porwanas. We believe we have complete facilities, because we have just held the 2024 PON event which has national standards," said the chairman of the North Sumatra Province PWI, Farianda Sinik.

NTB, which is trying to prepare for the 2028 PON, also dares to nominate. "The 2027 Porwanas event can be a test event before the 2028 PON, so it is very appropriate if we can hold Porwanas. We will coordinate with local officials," said SIWO PWI NTB, Purwandi.
Banten, which is located close to Jakarta, also guarantees that the 2027 Porwanas can take place in Banten. "I convey my aspirations from Banten who are ready to nominate as the host of Porwanas 2027. I will be very happy to be able to host fellow journalists throughout Indonesia to visit Banten," said Chairman of SIWO Banten, Gozali.
At the National Working Meeting this time also discussed gender, how it can add sports for journalists. The participation of female journalists increased in the 2024 Porwanas, and was even more enthusiastic to be able to appear again in Porwanas 2027.
