Managing Editor of Detik Edu and Hikmah, welcomed UIN Jakarta's initiative to visit the national news agency.

"There are so many things that can be cooperated at UIN.  Maybe it can be on social media or twitter for publications. For internships because it is intensively provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture, but maybe it can be allocated during the MOU for the internship program, the rest depends on the provisions of campus considerations. For scientific journals, it may be possible to collaborate but the writing can be converted to popular journals from UIN so that the authenticity of the journal content is maintained. This needs to be done to attract young people to read," said Erwin.

The initiation of cooperation between UIN Jakarta and Detik.com is expected to make a positive contribution in improving the quality of UIN Jakarta graduates in the field of communication and journalism. In addition, it can also expand the forum for UIN academicians to share knowledge and strengthen the role of Detik.com as a major mainstream media provider of information in Indonesia.
