JAKARTA - The Association of Indonesian Journalists (PWI) of DKI Jakarta Province is preparing to hold the Muhammad Husni Thamrin Journalism Award 2022 aka MHT Awards 2022. To that end, a committee has been formed, chaired by Budi Nugraha, Deputy Head of Education at PWI Jakarta.

"We must prepare ahead of time for the MHT Awards, so that the implementation is much better than the previous one," said PWI Jaya Chair, Sayid Iskandarsyah, Monday, November 29.

Sayid Iskandarsyah said, from the coordination carried out with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Diskominfotik, the 2022 MHT Awards are expected to attract more participants in the seven categories being contested.

"We also hope that the peak event of awarding the winners can be held lively, no longer a hybrid like the last two years. This hope can be realized if the conditions are far different too," said Sayid Iskandarsyah.
