JMS 2024 was Successfully Held with More Than a Hundred Participants

TheIndonesia.id - The Jatim Media Summit (JMS) was successfully held for the second time. This time, JMS 2024, which brought together local media managers in East Java and various parties who care about the development of the media, was held at the Whiz Luxe Hotel, Surabaya, Thursday (7/25/2024).

"Many media, campus, and community friends immediately registered for the peak event of JMS 2024 when we held events (roadshows) in Bojonegoro, Malang, and Jember. Judging from the data received, there were more than 100 people who registered," said Dwi Eko Lokononto, CEO of Beritajatim.com, in his remarks.

The holding of this event is expected to provide benefits for all parties who care about media development.

"Through events like this we can learn together. In addition to writing and creating content, we also need to build an ecosystem," said Suwarjono, CEO of Suara.com.

Present since the morning to open this activity, the Acting Governor of East Java, Adhy Karyono, conveyed his response. According to him, JMS 2024 is very interesting and very useful.

"I attended because the title was extraordinary 'Media Summit'. Moreover, seeing the speakers, it must be very useful, to the point that it was attended by various groups from outside East Java," he said.

According to Adhy, if you look at online news which now seems to be a powerful weapon including for bureaucratic circles, he hopes that these media can be independent, professional, able to support the company, and of course can report real and correct information.

"How our learning can have an impact on society, real, accurate, and reliable. Hopefully there will be verification related to media crews. Including in delivering news, opinions, and others, including in working on other ecosystems," he added.

JMS 2024 itself presents a number of speakers who are present directly to share knowledge related to media developments. Among them are Danny Yong (Media Business Advisor IMS), Ignatius Haryanto (Lecturer at UI & UMN), and Rini Yustiningsih (COO Solopos Media Group), who appeared in the first session after the opening ceremony.

Each speaker who appeared in the conference session spoke about different but related topics, namely "Digital Media Landscape in Indonesia", the topic "1001 Tricks to Develop a Media Business", and "Local Media Business Models".
