Abstract

The appointment of journalists, especially in the field of legal coverage, is extremely urgent and has a wide- ranging impact on conveying information containing truth values, in order to realize a free and responsible press. The manifestation of this responsibility, however, is not accompanied by a system for the appointment of journalists, leading to the dissemination of information that triggers inaccuracies in news, resulting in legal claims, both criminal and civil. These claims continue to occur, and the number of journalists entangled in legal issues also continues to increase. All of this is caused by laxity, both in Law Number 40 of 1999 and in the Press Council Regulations, which do not regulate the standards for the appointment of the journalistic profession. This laxity has triggered the idea of creating a system for the appointment of legal journalists based on the affirmation of a profession that meets professional standards through an ideal model, the regulation of which lies within a legal framework.
