The Southeast Asian Press Council Network (SEAPC-Net) is gearing up for its general meeting, scheduled to take place in Bali in early December 2023. While the exact date is yet to be finalized, discussions will conclude no later than the middle of December 2023. This significant event is distinct from the Bali Democracy Forum and is slated to precede it on the calendar.
Among the key items at the meeting on October 25, 2023, which started at 2 PM Indonesian Western Time, was the formal handover of Indonesia’s chairmanship to other member nations. This leadership transition is expected to be a pivotal moment in the organization’s history.
Transportation and accommodation arrangements for the participants will be coordinated by the Press Council of Indonesia, with details set to be communicated promptly to all attendees.
Several other proposed agenda items are expected to be addressed during the General Meeting, including a revision of SEAPC-Net’s constitution, an expansion of membership to the region, and discussions on how the media can adapt and respond to the evolving media landscape.
The list of participants includes prominent figures in the field, such as Ninik Rahayu, Totok Suryanto, Sudrajat Ema Mukarramah, Wawan Prasetyo, Mr. Chavarong, Mr. Myo Tun, Mr. Otelio Ote, Mr. Beny, Mr. Antonio Dias, Mr. Kavi, Ms. Isabel, and Ms. Sumonchaya Prang.
Mr. Asep Setiawan and Mr. Sudrajat served as the moderators and MCs for the event, ensuring smooth proceedings and discussions.
Documentation for the meeting preparation was managed by Ms. Intan R and Mr. Wawan.
As the date of the SEAPC-Net General Meeting draws nearer, anticipation is building within the Southeast Asian press community. The meeting promises to be a forum for critical discussions and strategic decisions that will shape the future of journalism and press freedom in the region.
