Balanced news coverage needed<\/p>\n
From Pos Kota<\/p>\n
Stories about the defunct Indonesian Communist Party (PKI)
\nhave received intense coverage in the mass media, particularly
\ntelevision, lately.<\/p>\n
For the purpose of revealing facts about PKI's September 30,
\n1965 movement to set the record straight, the media have exposed
\nvarious opinions and reports around the incident as well as
\ninterviews with statements opposed to the New Order version of
\nhistory.<\/p>\n
Books and documentaries about the discovery of mass graves of
\nPKI members slain by security forces were also shown, along with
\ncomments by relatives of the victims and surviving ex-PKI
\nmembers.<\/p>\n
Professionally speaking, the media, especially television,
\nshould also give balanced coverage by presenting data or stories
\nabout victims of PKI atrocities in the past, in which civilians
\nalso died at the hands of communists.<\/p>\n
