The Indonesian Government Communication Agency met with\nrepresentatives from several homeless media outlets. The government\ninvited homeless media grouped under the Indonesia New Media Forum to\nhelp broaden the reach of public government communication. Head of the\nCommunication Agency, Muhammad Qodari, stated that the forum is an\nassociation of homeless media or independently managed news outlets.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presence of these new media friends reflects Bakom\u2019s efforts to\nreach the public as widely as possible. Not only through conventional\nmedia, but also through digital channels that have become our\ncommunication reality today,\u201d he said during a press conference at his\noffice in Jakarta on Wednesday, 6 May 2026.<\/p>\n
Homeless media refers to media entities based on social media without\na home in the form of their own website or application. This media\ncontent is usually managed independently and uploaded to social media\nsuch as Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.<\/p>\n
Several homeless media outlets in the New Media Forum include\nFolkative, Indozone, Dagelan, Indomusikgram, Infipop, Narasi,\nMuslimvlog, Ussfeeds, Bapakbapak.ID, menjadimanusia, GNFI, Creativox,\nKok Bisa, Taubaters, Pandemic Talks, and TaubaTers.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, there are Kawan hawa, Folix, Ngomongin Uang, Big Alpha,\nGood States, Hai Dulu, Proud Project, Vibes, UNFRMD, Kumpul Leaders, CXO\nMedia, Volix Media, How To Do Nothing, Everless Media, Geometry Media,\nFolks Diary, Dream, Melodi Alam, NKTSHI, Modestalk, Lead Media, Nalar\nTV, Mahasiswa dan Jakarta, and North West.<\/p>\n
Qodari explained that the communication forum between the government\nand representatives of the Indonesia New Media Forum is an effort to\nimprove the quality of reporting. So far, Qodari said, these media have\nshortcomings in terms of covering both sides or news verification.<\/p>\n
However, these media are considered to have enormous public reach\npotential. \u201cThis new media already has a fairly large following,\npossibly up to 100 million, with views that can reach billions, 4 to 5\nbillion in one month,\u201d said Qodari.<\/p>\n
INMF representative, Timothy Marbun, said there was indeed a meeting\nbetween several INMF members and Qodari to get acquainted on Tuesday, 5\nMay 2026. \u201cThere was no commitment whatsoever,\u201d Timothy stated.<\/p>\n
According to Timothy, the partnership context is limited to opening\ncommunication for homeless media to conduct the process of covering both\nsides in coverage. The Communication Agency, he said, is open to\nanswering confirmations regarding government performance. \u201cThe spirit is\nprecisely to ensure that the information disseminated is complete from\nall sides,\u201d said Timothy.<\/p>\n
Timothy explained that INMF was formed collectively and independently\nin mid-2025. This forum was created as a space for gathering, growing,\nand learning for new media. Therefore, he said, INMF is managed without\nhierarchy. He noted that the media in INMF have editorial focus and\nindependence.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/government-communication-agency-meets-homeless-media-representatives-1778183878", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
