Indonesia will establish an ASEAN journalism centre with the aim of
helping regional journalists enhance their professionalism.
The centre will be placed in Palembang, the capital city of South
Sumatra, according to Head of the Indonesian Journalists Association
(PWI) Margiono.
The idea to establish a facility
providing professional training for journalists from all ASEAN member
states was initiated by the PWI Executive Board and the Secretariat of
the Confederation of ASEAN Journalists (CAJ).
The
PWI will inform details of the plan to the CAJ’s General Assembly at its
upcoming meeting which is slated for November 21-15 in Manila, the
