Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria emphasized the urgency of practicing professional journalism as a pillar of maintaining national unity and clarifying information amidst the rapid and chaotic flow of information in the digital space.
"Professional journalism can be a clearinghouse for information. Journalists who work to clarify information restore the integrity of information circulating amidst the chaos of digital information," Nezar said in a statement confirmed on Tuesday.
According to Nezar, professional journalism has a main difference with social media content, namely that it is carried out with disciplined verification of every content that will be published.
