JAKARTA - Investment Minister/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia complained about the news of the Bocor Alus Politik (BAP) podcast broadcast on Tempo.co Youtube and Tempo Magazine news to the Press Council.
Bahlil gave the Special Staff to the Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM Tina Talisa who met the Press Council accompanied by the Head of the Legal Bureau Rilke Jeffri Huwae at the Press Council Building, Jakarta Monday, March 3 afternoon.
Minister Bahlil objected because some of the information submitted to the public led to accusations and slander, as well as being full of unverified information. Therefore, we believe there are elements of violating the Journalistic Code of Ethics, including those related to journalists' obligation to always test information and not mix passing facts and opinions," said Tina.
Tina and Jeffri were received directly by the Chairman of the Press Council, Ninik Rahayu, and the Chairman of the Press Ethics Complaints and Enforcement Commission, Yadi Hendriana.
According to Bahlil, the news reported that they were inaccurate and had not been verified had a negative impression on Minister Bahlil and also the Ministry of Investment/BKPM.
Tina said, in accordance with Press Law Number 40 of 1999, complaints of news disputes were regulated by the Press Council to oversee the implementation of the Journalistic Code of Ethics.
The Minister of Investment regretted the podcast content that aired on Saturday, March 3, 2024, and the coverage of the March 3, 2024 edition of Tempo Magazine with investigative coverage entitled 'Play With Mining Permits'. According to Bahlil, this journalistic work is detrimental and does not comply with the Journalistic Code of Ethics.
