        "content": "<p>Innovation or die! Nearly 20 years ago, when I joined detikcom as\nIndonesia\u2019s largest digital media, I was brainwashed with that\nstatement. It was as if innovation was non-negotiable for us, while\nothers were often treated as stepchildren. This isn\u2019t entirely wrong.\nHowever, looking at the current developments, it seems the basics must\nreturn as our spirit, namely trust! PT Trans Digital Media (detikcom)\nrecently held its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) on\nTuesday, 28 April 2026. I, Ardhi Suryadhi, have been elected to lead as\nDirector of Content and Editor-in-Chief of detikcom, replacing Alfito\nDeannova Gintings. The AGMS also appointed Fajar Pratama as Deputy\nEditor-in-Chief of detikcom, succeeding Elvan Dani Sutrisno. For me,\nthis is not merely a leadership rotation, but a passing of the baton to\nsafeguard the honour of journalism amid uncertainty. The element of\n\u2018trust\u2019 is what we intend to bring as the new helmsmen of detikcom, both\ninternally and externally. The editorial team, considered the kitchen of\nthe media where various types of information are prepared, must be given\nconfidence that the world has changed. This means the way the editorial\nchefs cook can no longer be the same as in previous years. Media is not\na content creator on social media that might have more freedom to create\nwithout the constraints of the Press Law. But this is the opportunity we\nare targeting, providing verified trustworthy information to the public.\ndetikcom must certainly be where the readers are. Including if our\naudience is on TikTok, Instagram, or future platforms, detikcom will be\nthere in formats they like. However, it will still uphold verification\nstandards that cannot be compromised. We live in an era where\ninformation is abundant, but truth is often scarce. Amid the onslaught\nof social media that relies on algorithmic speed and emotional\noutbursts, detikcom must stand as an anchor. If a decade ago the\nchallenge was migrating from print to digital, now the challenge is far\nmore complex: maintaining integrity in a social media ecosystem that\noften creates echo chambers and the threat of massive disinformation\nproduced by artificial intelligence (AI). This is where we must guard\nthat \u2018honour\u2019. Twenty years ago, I learned how to type news here. Today,\nI am learning how to maintain the trust of millions of Indonesians. This\nis a marathon, not a sprint, and we at detikcom are ready to run\nfurther.<\/p>",
