Change for the People
“The future of journalism -- and it has started now -- is multiple media journalism.” Journalists must also be able to multitask.
Then-state-owned enterprises minister Dahlan Iskan (right) talks with then-Kompas CEO Jakob Oetama during his visit to the Kompas office on 25 October 2012 in Jakarta.
“The future of journalism -- and it has started now -- is multiple media journalism.” Journalists must also be able to multitask.
The message was repeatedly delivered by Kompas co-founder and then CEO Jakob Oetama more than 10 years ago. This message seems to complement PK Ojong\'s warning more than 40 years ago. "A press that does not receive subsidies can only develop if, in addition to its editorial, its businesses expertise and the quality of its printing, there is another important factor. And, the other factor is people’s trust in the daily," said PK Ojong, who is also a co-founder of Kompas.
