Many journalists never use IDs when on duty in their journalism, especially investigations, it is very surprising that this raises public questions whether they are embarrassed or intentionally so that their media is not indicated! I hope that the head of the Press organization, the Head of the Press Media Company in Indonesia will provide measurable guidance regarding the discipline of journalists in the field because it can be fatal and detrimental to the community in the form of accountability. In order to increase the value of the Press Media that the Press Media is not a pet dog or an order.
