No place for radicalism & intolerance on Indonesia’s airwaves, KPI warns
12 June 2023
Radicalism and intolerance have no place on Indonesia’s airwaves, the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) said this month.
The body reminded broadcasters of their role in “maintaining the integrity and integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia”.
KPI official Tulus Santoso issued the warning after reports that “notions of intolerance and radicalism are widely reported on radio broadcasts”.
Indonesia has approx 2,000 licensed radio stations. KPI, which admits to insufficient oversight of radio, has asked the public to help monitor the stations.
