Encouraging kids to get media savvy by reading the paper
Mon, 07/27/2009 1:59 PM | City
Bella Hutagalung, 42, a mother of two, finds it easier to motivate her children by showing them examples of children's achievement stories published in the Berani newspaper.
"The section on achievements can inspire children. That's what I like about the newspaper. But there is only one newspaper for children and I don't think that is enough," she told The Jakarta Post recently.
She said she decided to subscribe to the newspaper because her children had asked for it and their school had recommended it.
Reta, another parent, said the newspaper was good in terms of providing news and knowledge, but said she felt that it lacked fiction stories.
"I think children would like it better if it provided more fiction stories," she said.
Teacher and journalist Witdarmono started the newspaper for elementary and junior high school students in April 2006, aiming to develop children's interest and understanding of the media and the news.

Children seize the day by switching off the TV
The Jakarta Post , JAKARTA | Mon, 07/27/2009 12:06 PM | City
For many children, Sunday morning is monopolized by cartoons on TV.
Not this Sunday though, when more than a hundred kindergarten students preferred to skip their favorite programs in favor of outdoor activities in support of “No TV Day”, which was celebrated at the National Monument (Monas) in Central Jakarta.
“No TV Day” was also held with the mood of National Children’s Day, falling last Thursday, still in the air.
Watching a puppet show, participating in a drawing and coloring competition and working on puzzles were some of the activities held at Monas.
In one corner, several children, helped by their parents, took turns to roll an extra-large dice and move step-by-step on a giant snakes-and-ladders game board.
“Yeah! I made it,” a little girl shouted after making her first stop on the board’s final square. Nearby parents could not hide their smiles after seeing the girl’s beaming expression.
B. Guntarto, head of the Children’s Media Development Foundation (YPMA) and chairman of the coalition’s steering committee, said the campaign was triggered by media activists’ concern about the negative influence of inappropriate content in TV programs aimed at children.
