Closing PWI OKK Across Sumbawa Island, Ikliluddin Stresses Journalist Professionalism
The chairman of PWI NTB, Ahmad Ikliluddin, wrapped up the Journalism and Organizational Orientation (OKK) for PWI across Sumbawa Island in the 3rd floor hall of the Sumbawa Regent's Office, Sunday (25/10). He gave a shout-out to the committee and speakers who’d helped the event run smoothly.
Ikliluddin drove home the point that OKK isn’t just some formality-it’s about beefing up professionalism by getting a handle on the Press Law, the Journalistic Code of Ethics, and the rules of conduct for journalists. “It doesn’t hurt to go back and relearn the basics,” he said, reminding everyone how important it is to keep sharpening skills so they don’t hit snags out in the field.
Facing the tricky challenges of the media industry, he highlighted the need to keep public trust by prioritizing verification and data accuracy, not just speed. Ikliluddin also touched on protecting the copyright of journalistic work from being used by others without permission.
A total of 51 participants took part in the OKK with 13 sessions, and the evaluation showed solid understanding with scores between 95 and 100. Ikliluddin hopes the know-how they picked up can be put into daily journalistic duties to churn out news that’s accurate and fair.
