Balanced news

As a layman I know that there should be a balance in publishing news.

Referring to Pramoedya's case, The Jakarta Post wrote Poet seeks revocation of award for Pramoedya (Aug. 4, 1995). In balancing the news, your newspaper should ask Pramoedya's response to the above poet. I am writing to suggest to your journalists to interview Pramoedya and write his opinion concerning the Magsaysay award in your newspaper. For your information, BBC on Aug. 6, 1995 at 20:15 broadcast Pramoedya's argument and Goenawan Mohammad's response.
