VIDEO: Exclusive, PWI Chairman Hendry Ch Bangun: Neutrality of Journalists During the Presidential and General Elections is Non-Negotiable

JAKARTA - Soon Indonesia will hold elections and presidential elections again in 2024. A year before the democratic party was held, the political temperature was already heating up. The atmosphere became increasingly heated after the presidential and vice presidential candidate pairs were determined and began registering with the KPU. The role of the mass media and journalists who carry out their duties for the mass media is very crucial. Because of this, said the General Chair of the Indonesian Journalists Association (PWI) Hendry Ch Bangun, independence and neutrality must be maintained. If you can't act independently, it's better to resign as a journalist and take full responsibility as a politician or success team. The problem is that the neutrality of journalists during the presidential and general elections is non-negotiable.
