Ramadan Becomes a Momentum for Media and Energy Industry Players to Strengthen Communication
Ramadan is often a time to strengthen professional networks across sectors. Amid the evolving dynamics of the energy industry, informal gatherings between industry players and the media are valued as a way to maintain open and constructive communication.
This was evident in the iftar gathering organised by Alumni BSMH in Jakarta on Friday (6/3). The event brought together journalists from a number of national media outlets with representatives of energy and coal mining sector companies in a Ramadan-friendly atmosphere.
Beyond breaking the fast together, the event served as a space for casual discussion on developments in the mining industry and the media’s role in conveying information to the public. In an informal setting, participants exchanged views on the dynamics of the energy sector, which often attract public attention.
Emral Firdiansyah, Corporate Communications, PT Global Energitama, who attended the event, said that the relationship between the company and the media plays an important role in ensuring that information reaching the public is accurate and balanced.
“For us, the media is a strategic partner in conveying information to the public. Through events like this, we hope that communications between the company and the press can be more open so that various issues in the energy sector can be understood more comprehensively,” Emral said.
Such meetings are seen as providing a more fluid interaction space between journalists and industry players. In a less formal setting, discussions on industry issues can take place more openly while building a more comprehensive understanding of developments in the sector.
Emral added that Ramadan is also a good moment to strengthen ties between the business world and the media.
“Ramadan is a good time to strengthen ties. We hope that meetings like this not only reinforce personal relationships but also drive more constructive dialogue between the media and industry players,” he said.
Through the activity initiated by Alumni BSMH, the relationship between national media and mining industry players is hoped to be maintained. In addition to strengthening ties during Ramadan, the event also serves as an informal dialogue space that strengthens synergy and broadens understanding of the energy and mining dynamics in Indonesia.
