My First

This is my first posting in this blog. I've been thinking for a while of having my own weblog, so I can write down all my thoughts, ideas, reflection, jokes, worries, anything, at the end of the day. I have so many things in my head, sometime I worried it may explode if I dont -somehow, try to put it down by either writing it, or do something about it --act on it, not just thinking of it over and over again.

So this is it. My own blog. Actually, I already created one, about two years ago. But, at the time, I just did it for fun --not that this one will be too 'serious' or anything. I made the first one because then, almost everybody at my office had one. I know, its silly. But, I promise, this time its different. I created this blog, because I think I need a media. I want it to be my book, where I can trace down my thoughts, and how I change or not change, from this day forward. I felt like I experience too many things in one day --even in one event, there are so many point of views. I cant write it all down in my newspapers, so I need something else. Another media. My own media.

I'll try to write everyday, at the end of each working day. I'll reflect on things that happened during the day, and hopefully, that way, I can understand it more comprehensively.

Rasanya sudah saatnya menengok kembali polemik lama itu dan mengukur sejauhmana kedua kubu, yang pro maupun kontra pada prediksi senjakala, berhasil meramalkan apa yang kini terjadi.  Ikhtiar ini menurut saya penting karena pada hari pertama di tahun baru 2021 ini, Koran Tempo dan Majalah Tempo berbahasa Inggris, resmi beralih ke platform digital. Kedua penerbitan ini tak lagi bisa ditemukan dalam format cetak. Kita ingat, pada 2016, Koran Tempo edisi Minggu juga beralih ke versi digital. Itu salahsatu yang memicu perdebatan soal masa depan jurnalisme.  Banyak yang sudah terjadi setelah empat tahun, dan buat saya banyak yang membesarkan hati. Media digital kini ...
