The election, it turned out to be an opportunity for media managers in the area, to pry away more gains.


The campaign period for the election of the president and members of Parliament, both centrally and in the regions, has begun, and will last until February 10, 2024. Of course, all candidates require socialization in order to be elected by society. One is through mass media.

Online or online media has become a phenomenon in Indonesia, as so many new online media have emerged in recent times.

Edi Arsadad, Chairman of the Online Journalists Association (IWO) of Lampung will discuss this in the following discussion.
