JAKARTA - Two weeks into the climax of the 48th Mohamad Hoesni Thamrin Journalistic Award (MHT Awards), the Daily Executive of the Indonesian Journalists Association of DKI Jakarta Province made a pilgrimage to the grave of the national hero from the capital city. The pilgrimage was led directly by the Chairman of PWI Jaya, Sayid Iskandarsyah.
"We will make this pilgrimage to the grave of Jakarta's proud hero a tradition ahead of the peak event of the Mohamad Hoesni Thamrin Journalism Award," said Sayid Iskandarsyah at Karet Bivak, Karet Tengsin, Tanah Abang, Tuesday, July 26.
Sayid, who is also in charge of the Mohamad Thamrin Awards 48-2022, carried out the flower-laying ceremony at the tomb of the Jakarta movement leader along with other PWI Jaya daily administrators, including Budi Nugraha and Kadirah.
Mohamad Hoesni Thamrin, born February 16, 1894 and died January 11, 1941, was a Betawi hero whose life was donated to fight for the interests of the Betawi people at that time and for the cause of an independent Indonesia.
His name was immortalized as one of the protocol roads in Jakarta and a massive village improvement project in Jakarta (MHT Awards) in the 1970s. On December 19, 2016, for his services, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia enshrined it in the new rupiah banknote, the Rp.2,000 denomination.
Anugerah Jurnalistik MH Thamrin is an annual activity by PWI Jaya with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Discominfotik, representing the dynamics of the movement and development of the capital city.
For the 48th MHT Awards in 2022, there are still 7 categories of journalistic works to be contested. These works will be published in print, electronic and online media between June 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022.
Starting from the 48-2022 MHT Awards, awards were given to 3 people in each category. Namely, a winner and 2 nominees. Seven categories: text, photos, terrestrial TV videos, streaming TV videos, radio, infographics, and editorial categories.
