Congratulation to Meutya Hafid


I would like to congratulate Meutya Hafid (MetroTV’s anchor) to her success in the 2008 Australian Alumni Award for Journalism and Media category. She does deserve the award for her excellent achievement in her journalistic career. Being a journalist is a choice of life. Of course each of us has our own reasons for doing the job. However, serving the public interest is the one that every journalist needs to prioritize. All the best for Meutya, and thank you to my friend, I Made Andi Arsana, for letting me know about the award winner.

About Me

My photo
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Hi, I am a journalist of ANTARA, Indonesia's national news agency whose headquarters is in Jakarta. My fate has brought me back to Australia since March 2007 because my office assigns me to be the ANTARA correspondent there. My first visit to the neighboring country was in 2004 when I did my masters at the School of Journalism and Communication, the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, under the Australian Development Scholarship (ADS) scheme. However, the phase of my life was started from a small town in North Sumatra Province, called Pangkalan Brandan. In that coastal town, I was born and grown up. Having completed my senior high school there in 1987, I moved to Medan to pursue my study at the University of North Sumatra (USU) and obtained my Sarjana (BA) degree in English literature in 1992. My Master of Journalism (MJ) was completed at UQ in July 2005. The final research project report for my MJ degree was entitled "Framing the Australian Embassy Bombing (Jakarta) in Indonesian and Australian Newspapers". Further details about me can be read in a writing posted in my blog entitled "My Life Journey".
