inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Vice Minister of Communication and Digital, Angga Raka Prabowo, emphasized that the media is a strategic partner of the government in conveying development messages to the public. The role of the media is considered crucial in supporting effective public communication.

"Media has become a beacon of information for the public and a partner of the government in conveying development messages. Without the active role of the media, various policies will not be conveyed effectively to the public," said the Vice Minister of Communication and Digital in his statement on Thursday (2/20/2025).

Angga says that mass media acts as the communication bridge between the government and stakeholders, and especially the public. He also highlights the importance of dialogue between the government and the press to strengthen their communication.

In supporting quality journalistic practices, Angga invited Indonesian journalists to always adhere to journalistic principles. He emphasized that the quality of information must be a priority before being disseminated to the public.

"Speed ​​should not sacrifice accuracy. In this digital era, people are increasingly selective in choosing sources of information. Sensationalism will only damage public trust," stressed Angga.

He also reminded that every news report must be oriented towards the interests of the nation and state. He emphasized that the government is open to collaborating with media companies in supporting the performance of journalists who build the nation.

According to him, the government and media must go hand in hand in building Indonesia. He is optimistic that the press through the Press Council will play their role optimally.
