Abstract:
The Press Law, especially Article 5 paragraph (1) becomes the standard of news
writing whose implementation is guided by Article 3 of the Code of Journalistic
Ethics, but the standards of the journalist profession are not found provisions in
the Press Law and the Code of Journalistic Ethics, thus triggering the occurrence
of press coverage that does not apply the principle of presumption of innocence.
The absence of such arrangements, it must be immediately corrected by
reformulating the press news system in terms of regulation into Law No. 40 of
1999 on the Press that can be a solution to the complexity of problems in the Press
Briefing which must certainly be based on a free and responsible news philosophy
