KPU, TV stations ink cooperation

JAKARTA: The General Elections Commission (KPU) signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday with five television
stations to advertise the 2004 elections.

The five TV stations are Trans TV, SCTV, TV7,
TVRI and Metro-TV. This is expected to be followed with an MoU
with TPI, AnTV and Lativi.

The MoU requires the KPU to provide facilities and information
on the elections to the TV stations, while the TV stations
will help the KPU inform the public about the elections.

"The signing of this MoU will be followed by the making of
various education-entertainment programs on the elections so that
the public will not be anxious about the process," KPU member
Valina Singka Subekti said. -- JP
