Rift rocks 'Sriwijaya Post'<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The management of Sriwijaya Post, which is based in
\nthe South Sumatra capital of Palembang, is rocked by a managerial
\nconflict.<\/p>\n
The conflicting camps, General Manager Fauzi Achmad and Chief
\nEditor Hendrowiyono, have accused each other of hiring street
\nhoodlums in their bids to force their will.<\/p>\n
The conflict stems from the confusion in the shares of the
\nnewspaper. The newspaper's employees were unhappy with the
\ninclusion of "strangers" in the list of shareholders.<\/p>\n
The conflict burst into the open when Fauzi fired a journalist
\nhe said had a past link with an "outlawed organization", a common
\nreference to the Indonesian Communist Party.<\/p>\n
Antara did not make it clear how Fauzi and Hendrowiyono become
\nembroiled in a personal conflict but it said that both had been
\ninvolved in physical clashes.<\/p>\n
The problem within the newspaper, which is partly owned by the
\nleading media group Kompas-Gramedia, has been reported to the
\nlocal police. (pan)<\/p>",
