The Press Council received 1,166 public complaints regarding the professionalism of mass media throughout January-November 2025, a surge of up to 86.26% compared to 2024.

"This number significantly surged compared to the previous year, namely 626 complaints in 2024 and 794 complaints in 2023," as quoted from the Press Council's website.

The Press Council explained that the majority of public complaints were directed at cyber media, in line with the increasing consumption of digital information.

The most frequently reported issues were violations of the cover both sides principle, clickbait headlines, defamation, unauthorized use of photos, and hate speech.

"The Press Council has resolved 925 cases through correspondence, minutes, and even Statements of Assessment and Recommendation (PPR)," it explained.

In improving journalistic professionalism, the Press Council claims to continuously encourage the implementation of Journalist Competency Tests (UKW).

Throughout 2025, the institution recorded 145 UKW activities, with a total of 14,647 certified journalists.

"In the same year, the Press Council also completed Press Council Regulation Number 1 of 2025 concerning Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Journalistic Works," it said.
