Awaking from the Big Sleep: Kantor Berita 68H

When democracy returned to Indonesia in 1998, hundreds of independent radio stations were able to broadcast news for the first time. The problem? The only trained radio journalists in a country of 200 million were those who had worked for the official government news service. Prior to 1998 radio stations could not produce their own news, but had to carry the official newscast. Radio 68H was set up as a network that filled a need for news but also worked with radio stations to develop news production capacity. This is a chapter from The One to Watch.
