Six mass media organizations received the 2004 Adam Malik Award
from the foreign affairs ministry for their outstanding reporting of
international events in 2004, mainly connected to the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

They were assessed in three basic categories: accuracy in
presenting facts, balanced and objective opinions and the
educational value of their reports. The Adam Malik Award began in
2002 as the ministry's way of showing appreciation for
professional journalism.

The awards were presented by Minister Hassan Wirayuda to chief
editors or their representatives in a ceremony at the ministry on
Wednesday.
