A total of 50 Students, College Students and Journalists Participated in PPRA Training
Around 50 pupils, university students and journalists took part in training held by the Bandung City DPC Writers and Journalists Association (IPJI) at the Fave Hotel Jalan Braga, Sunday 10 March 2024. This training was to explore the Child-Friendly Reporting Guidelines (PPRA).
Chair of the Bandung City IPJI DPC, Warsa, said that this event was the result of collaboration between his party and the Bandung City Communication and Information Service. The aim is to provide insight to pupils, students and journalists regarding reporting about children.
The reason is, in the PPRA there are signs that must be obeyed by writers, especially journalists.
"Because if you don't comply with the PPRA, there are sanctions and fines of up to IDR 500 million which could ensnare journalists," he said.
Meanwhile, one of the speakers, Basuki Trio, said that to become a writer and journalist there are signs you need to know. Starting from the Journalism Code of Ethics, PPRA, and other things.
"Everything has rules and writers or journalists cannot make news as they please. There are other people's rights that also need to be taken into account," he explained.
Meanwhile, Chair of the West Java IPJI DPW, Ai Mulyani, said that this training was good for pupils, students and journalists. For journalists, of course it is related to their profession. Meanwhile, for pupils and students, it is a place to seek knowledge outside of school or campus.
"In the Merdeka Curriculum, seeking knowledge and knowledge is not only in the classroom, but also in trainings like this," he said.**
