Working Group Meeting of Daily Journalists of Greater Tangerang at Villa Arsa, Situ Gunung, Sukabumi, West Java, on June 2-3, 2026.

The Working Group of Daily Journalists of Greater Tangerang (Pokja WHTR) officially held a Working Meeting at Villa Arsa, Situ Gunung, Sukabumi, West Java.

The event, taking place on June 2-3, 2026, carried the theme “Strengthen Organizational Solidarity Through Real Work Programs,” as a shared commitment to advancing the quality and cohesion of journalist members serving in Greater Tangerang.

This meeting discussed three main organizational agendas: the accountability report of the management, the dissolution of the 2026 Ramadan committee, and the formulation of work programs.

The Chairperson of the 2026 Pokja WHTR Working Meeting Committee, Hendra Wibisana, stated that the choice of location in the Situ Gunung area was deliberately made to provide a fresh atmosphere and support participants’ focus in formulating work programs.

“We want to reunite our vision after going through various busy agendas, including last Ramadan’s activities. Through this forum, we will create work programs that are more relevant to the needs of members and the community,” he said on Wednesday, June 3, 2026.

Meanwhile, the Chairperson of Pokja WHTR, Mus Mulyadi, emphasized the importance of the essence of this year’s theme.

According to him, organizational solidarity cannot be created without concrete programs whose benefits are directly felt by all members.

“Solidarity is not just about gathering, but about how we move together in real work programs,” he said.

One of the programs agreed upon during the meeting was that Pokja WHTR officially opened registration for new members.

This step was taken as an effort for organizational regeneration and to provide opportunities for other daily journalists in Greater Tangerang to join and grow together.

“I hope that the smart ideas born from this meeting ensure that Pokja WHTR remains a forum for journalists who are professional, independent, and united in facing future press challenges,” he emphasized.
