        "content": "<p>House of Representatives Speaker Puan Maharani has stressed the\nimportance of the media\u2019s role in overseeing parliamentary work to keep\nit transparent and accessible to the wider public. She made this\nstatement while receiving an award from the Parliamentary Journalists\u2019\nCoordinating Body (KWP) at the KWP Awards 2026 event held in the\nPustakaloka Room, Nusantara IV Building, Parliamentary Complex, Senayan,\nJakarta, on Thursday (16\/4\/2026). According to Puan, the DPR cannot\noperate in isolation without media support as a bridge of information to\nthe public. \u201cWe know that the DPR RI cannot work in a vacuum,\u201d Puan said\nin a press release received by Kompas.com. She emphasised that in every\nlegislative process, from public hearings and bill discussions to\ndecision-making, the DPR needs public aspirations as a basis for\nconsideration. \u201cAnd one important source of those public aspirations can\nbe obtained through the media that bridges them via reporting,\u201d she\nadded. \u201cBecause what the DPR RI does needs to be told accurately,\nclearly, and reach the wider public,\u201d said the former Coordinating\nMinister for Human Development and Culture. On that occasion, Puan\nreceived the award as a Figure Guarding Pro-Women Policies from KWP. The\naward certificate was handed over symbolically by KWP Chairman Ariawan.\nPuan expressed appreciation for the award and viewed the KWP Awards as\nmore than just a ceremony, but a moment to reflect on the relationship\nbetween the legislative institution and the world of journalism. \u201cThis\nis an important moment for all of us to reflect on the relationship\nbetween the legislative institution and the world of journalism, a\nrelationship that becomes one of the main keys to the strength of\nIndonesian democracy,\u201d she stated. Furthermore, Puan considered the\ncooperation between the DPR and the media to be very necessary to ensure\nthat the struggle for the people is known widely. She also highlighted\nthe important role of parliamentary journalists who not only serve as\nwitnesses to the legislative process but also as translators of policy\nto the public. \u201cParliamentary journalist friends are not only\neyewitnesses to the legislative process but also translators between\npolicy language and the everyday language of the people,\u201d Puan said.<\/p>",
