Jakarta-Today Friday (1/25/2019), at 10.00 WIB, the Indonesian Tabloid Barokah was officially reported to the Press Council. Kebon Sirih, Jajarta. Because the Media is not a legal entity and cornered one of the Presidential Candidates No. 02 Prabowo-Sandi.
According to the Reporting Member of the Directorate of Advocacy and Law of Prabowo-Sandi,
Y. Nurhayati, S.H., M.H., M.M,
Whereas since the presence of the Indonesian tabloid Barokah it has become a polemic and uproar in the community where the spread of tabloids is organized with the target of circulation in places of worship (Mosques) in West Java, Central Java and the latest in Mojokerto East Java.
The first edition of the Barokah Indonesia Tabloid in December 2018, both the title and content contained libel and utterances of hatred to Mr. H. Prabowo Subianto as the Presidential Candidate and Sandiaga Salahudin Uno as the Vice-President Candidate No. 02 as participants of the 2019 Election and Muslims gathered in the 212 event as the Muslim religious group.
Some of the contents of the Barokah Indonesian tabloid preach the negative meaning that discredits Presidential Candidate No. 02 H. Prabowo Subianto and Candidate for Vice-President Sandiaga Salahudin Uno on page 6 entitled "Deceiving the Public for Political Victory?" and troubles in the community due to the Indonesian Barokah Tabloid.
Then it should include the reporting of every journalist to always be independent by reporting events or facts in accordance with the voice of conscience and producing accurate news, which can be believed to be true according to the objective situation when the event does not attack the honor and good name of the community, especially at this time the campaign period for the 2019 Election so as not to cause hostility to H. Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Salahudin Uno as well as groups of supporters and groups of Muslims (vide Article 1 of the Journalistic Code of Ethics), due to the function of the Indonesian Press as a referee and fair guide towards the implementation of the 2019 Election, and not just the opposite, it became a "player" who misused community dependence on the media. (vide Circular of the Press Council No. 02 / SE-DP / VIII / 2018 concerning Media Position and Impartiality of Journalists in the 2019 Election)
Therefore, the news of the Barokah Indonesian Tabloid which attacked the honor of the good names H. Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Salahudin Uno which gave rise to the utterances of hatred and disturbance in the community affected hostility between groups so that they could violate the principles of balanced and bad faith and 8 Journalistic Code of Ethics) Then the press should function as a medium of information, education, entertainment and social control in the community not to create confusion which results in hostility between groups.
In addition to violating the Journalistic Code of Ethics, Barokah Indonesian Tabloids are also not incorporated. Because the editorial structure is not included in the press company legal entity and as a print media should include the printing address but only written on
Preamble of page 2 under the editorial structure that reads "contents outside the printing responsibilities". So it should be suspected that the Indonesian Barokah tabloid is illegal as intended
That is very detailed post. Nice
