New talk show on 'SCTV'

JAKARTA: The privately owned Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV) television station announced yesterday that it will start a new talk show called Di Balik Berita (Behind the News) which will reveal the policies of various print media.

The new program, one of five managed under SCTV's Liputan 6 in-depth news-reporting division, starts broadcasting today from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.

A statement which was made available to The Jakarta Post said the program will present three journalists who will discuss a certain issue from their respective insights.

Manager of Liputan 6 Riza Primadi said their comments are expected to give an idea on how publisher's policies determine and accentuate the angle chosen to report an issue.

The program's first show, which will be aired live, will present senior journalists from the Kompas, Republika and Media Indonesia dailies.(pwn)
