INFORMATION was developed from mouth to mouth some noise NTT's in capital city Jakarta. The first person to convey to me is Raymundus Jeghe Tiwa. "Aji (brother) will be newspapers published in Kupang," said Mundus, the Maukeli boys on Jl. Sam Ratulangi, Menteng, Central Jakarta Medio July 1992.
When we finished the new education and training in journalism, which is held together by central PMKRI and PMII. "What have SIUPP (Permit Business Publishing Press) Om Damyan Godho, Kompas journalist," added Mundus recently when a journalist familiar with the greeting Rey. "Let's cool it more," he said lightly.
We follow the Training Press in the location of training prosecutors in Cinere, 5-12 July 1992. This activity is working on the same by Republic of Indonesia Catholic Students (PMKRI) and the Indonesian Islamic Students Movement (PMII). PMKRI mare that led by Ir. Cyrilus Kerong, is now one of the leaders of leading business newspaper, Bisnis Indonesia daily. Meanwhile, PMII, led by Ali Masykur Musa. Speakers between Matori Abdul Jalil, Mensesneg Moerdiono, Dr. Alberth Hasibuan, Drs. Cosmas Batubara, Rikard Bagun (now Deputy Chief Editor of Kompas), Effendi Choirie and others.
Information is increasingly fast exhale after we get phone messages from Kupang, among others, Johny Pari to return home immediately because the new registration of journalists have been opened. Johny Pari, a senior at Kupang PMKRI inform us that one of the location of registration through the Ministry for Regional Office (Deppen) NTT Province on Jl. Palapa Kupang (now Badan Infokom NTT). Johny duty to receive registration. Our intention to longer faded in Jakarta. Kupang seems to continue to call home.
But what power, money in the bag nearly exhausted. No longer simply a ticket home with the ship. Capital grant from the Governor of NTT, Mr. dr. Hendrik Fernandez has been used out of our meeting, Dion, Paul Mundus and Burin - envoy PMKRI Branch Kupang to the journalism training.
Have complained to Cyrilus Kerong, the Chairman of the Presidium PP PMKRI. "Sorry, I can't help you. I will try to approach some senior citizens in Jakarta," he said. Find family in Jakarta, but not enough money to make tickets so porterage, and in the journey.
"The angels" come helpers, Drs. Markus Mali (alm) came to margasiswa Menteng, Jakarta. Anton Doni whispering that the aspirations that we run out of money. Understandably, and took three weeks of training in journalism Cinere. In Jakarta a week already. Almost one month. Capital of Rp 750 thousand from Kupang brook. Virtually no remaining at that rumpled wallet containing more paper though still appears solid.
"Tomorrow I am waiting here at 3 pm," said Mark Mali. At the time Purek III University Krisna Dwipayana. Markus, lead PMKRI for five years to meet that promise. Menteng come to the deer with the car is smooth. "This money Rp 200 thousand. Can earn up to Kupang. Arrive in there, report Alo Jong Djoko. Tell him I can not put more money," he said while roar with laughter.
That's the style of Markus Mali. Lise people who bluntly. I share with Mundus and Paul. I move to Gambir Station. Take the train to Surabaya, economy class. Jostle with the passenger, traders asongan and up and down the street at will in each station. Tomorrow morning arrive Surabaya. Find information, schedule KM Kelimutu to Port-Tenau Kupang is still a week longer. Terrible!
Again Marga PMKRI Surabaya where shelter. Two days past, have no resistance. Appear solutions home via land routes only out of money in this Pahlawan City. I return with a new bus transit route Java, Surabaya-Labuan Bajo. Three nights in a three-day trip. Strait Bali-Lombok, Bima, Sape, Labuan Bajo. Until also at the western tip of Flores. With the night bus to continue to Ruteng Ende. Spend a night in the Onekore home parents and journey to Kupang via Larantuka (East Flores) ship with fery.
"Fast is a letter of application," said friends in the clan St. Francis Xavier, Jl. No Soeharto. 20 Kupang, such as Alo Min, Marthen Darmonsi, Hardi Himan, Eman Laba, Gabriel Dala, Jannes Eudes Wawa, John Lalongkoe. How is this possible? I enter a new semester at the FIA Undana VII, not degree as required. "Already, write only in degree 'not wisuda' brackets. They dont check all possible. We have a regular writing. What is important is attaching a clipping written in various mass media. Photocopy letter from the weekly tasks, Dian and UCAN (Union Catholic Asian News) , "Said Mundus the most diligent collecting information.
Many application to enter the office of Deppen NTT. All crew Dian Weekly Kupang Bureau under the command of Pius Rengka enter applications. Ferry Jahang, Lorens Gabur, Viktus Murin, Cyriakus Kiik, Paul K Burin, Karolus Kia Burin, Key Tokan Abdul Azis, Ans Marsali, Cons Kleden, Joss Gerrard Lema, Karolus Kopong Medan and others. Candidates correspondent, among other Dohu Mariana, Renata Fernandez, Esther Gah, Evie Pello.
Ad revenue potential journalists also announced through the Surya - Surabaya. But people who sign up. Not only from NTT. Later I know, son and prospective areas have experienced more preferable to write a new newspaper that is published immediately.
Group 5W1H
In October 1992, the presence of a new newspaper is nearing reality. We journalists, the candidates and employees-worker business division called a test. That is the first time I met with Valens Doy, Cave, the big name of the national press. Person was a small, not too high, curly hair, friendly smile. The main characteristic voice and laughter thunder. Sharp eyes gaze, such as pink walls and the brain.
The process of recruitment is held tight. Only a selection slip administration called for interviews and written tests. The amount is less than 70 people and training journalists to follow these 40 people. In a simple office on Jl. No Soeharto. 53 Kupang, all activities that take place. There headquarters and business editor of the newspaper Pos Kupang. Lying side by side with a copy of Sylvia and Printing. If Rudolf Nggai and Damyan Godho not foreign anymore. Om Rudolf place of business is a subscription copy of our student assignment book and paper. Om Damy also not new. Ordinary provide training materials in journalism in Kupang.
Training manageable direct Om Valens Doy. Mentor other Damyan Godho, Hilarius Japi, Pius Rengka.Wens John Rumung also help with the habitat of a prominent face and voice haunted hard. All the training materials (theory and practice) a more manageable Valens Doy. Each candidate journalists are obliged to bring a typewriter. No matter whether the property itself or loans. "Current use a new engine type you can using the computer," said Om Damyan in the various opportunities. Computers in 1992 for citizens of NTT is still the goods Luks and rare.
Om Valens really know the ability of each candidate that journalists are trained. We are grouped according to ability level. There 5W1H group, the group description, the group angle, and leads the group title. 5W1H means the group is not proficient in collecting news materials.
So every day you fall in that field profusely in the 5W1H. If the step is advanced to the group angle (take the viewpoint news). According to Om Valens, when the angle will be okay means easy to make and leads the title of news. Classification turn the atmosphere of such ongoing training since exhausting at 08.00 Wita until night. "If I was in class 5W1H do not arrogant. Learn more hard to immediately enter the group and leads the title," said one of the ways Om Valens motivated.
Having undergone training for one and a half months, we enter the final exam and have passed. Some 27 people officially registered as a journalist Pos Kupang force first. We began to be divided every desk and beat. I feel lucky to get a job because in Kupang Desk Political and Security (Politics and Security). Many of them are sent to all 12 districts of NTT.

After the experiment published six times, right on Tuesday on 1 December 1992 Pos Kupang published regular six-day week.

"Campaign tsunami"
SKH Pos Kupang rises with a unique campaign. In addition, particularly through radio RRI Kupang, the team's daily business is spread through the air and brochures. Om Damy utilize good relationship with the Lanud El Tari Kupang that time, Lektol (GNI), Djoko Purwoko.
Djoko is a flight instructor F16 aircraft nurture the United States to allow the distribution of brochures Pos Kupang from the Hercules aircraft flying roving Kupang and the surrounding areas. But a glance thousands of brochures that are spread wide.
Turbulence this way, Mayor of the City Administrative (Kotif) Kupang, SK Lerik was joke, Pos Kupang, being bothered troops yellow (the cleanliness of the city officials) must clean up the garbage the forms and brochures are scattered everywhere.
Campaign with the way it is not clear enough. Not many people know immediately NTT Pos Kupang and realize the presence in their midst. Nature appears to be kind-hearted, remorseless nature is not forever.
Just two weeks Pos Kupang present, the major events in the history of NTT Province. Saturday 12th December 1992 at 13:29:25 Wita said Tectonic earthquake 7.5 Richter scale strike Flores with the most severe Mach affected. The earthquake center at a depth of 15 km in the Flores Sea is very strong that immediately followed the tsunami.
In 2080 glance people died and more than 500 people were seriously injured. Number of buildings collapsing or heavily damaged as many as 28,118 houses, 785 school buildings, 307 houses of worship, offices and 493 shops. Many of the land split between Ende and Maumere, the relationship between land and Maumere - Larantuka lost main roads closed because of landslides. Earthquake followed by the continuation of the earthquake still be up to date on January 5 1993. Flores seems to doom small. President Soeharto set as a national disaster. Let also visited the victims in Maumere. With some of the national origin of Sikka, Drs. Frans Seda is a setback to characterize Flores for 25 years.
Natural events that become the main sales Pos Kupang, speaking months later. In a short time to become popular Pos Kupang in Indonesia and of NTT. Newspapers always sold out. Just imagine Pos Kupang on the first of two weekend printed only 3,000 copies, jumped dramatically to be 16,000 copies per day because of high demand. In the first two weeks after the earthquake, news Pos Kupang even copy and sells by people. Incidents such as this, among others, held in East Flores, Manggarai and Sumba.
Flores earthquake in 1992 also lead entering the network Pos Kupang newspaper world. News and photo Pos Kupang loaded almost all offices of international news, such as Reuters, AFP, AP, Yonhap, Xinhua, NHK, Bernama, Antara. Of course it is a pride for us when. Photo boats to the tsunami it to land nearly 100 meters in the coastal edge Mach by Wens John Rumung, for example, photos become the main Reuters.
Almost every night, Pos Kupang also supply news to local newspapers that Om Valens Doy herself as Surya, the Sriwijaya Post, Serambi Indonesia, Bernas. Quite often the deadline Pos Kupang late because we must give priority to the news to other newspapers. Om Damy "pout" to see if Om Valens Doy busy contacting the editor in various other areas.
One tearful experience during the earthquake is about Kelimutu. When the Pos Kupang 'kecolongan' from one newspaper published Ltd announces that the lake Tri Color was dry turbulence earthquake on December 12 1992. Om Valens Doy curious great.
"Pos Kupang, the lake must be proved whether national pride is dry or not," he said in the meeting room editor. Om Valens decided to designate areas in Bajawa journalists, Yosafat Koli that when support to Bonne Pukan in Ende for earthquake coverage Flores. "Yos, you good in writing features. Going to Kelimutu, please," Om Valens command via phone.
Distance Ende-Kelimutu not more than 60 km. Not that big of a normal condition. Only takes about two hours to arrive at the peak Kelimutu. Now, the problem of road trans-Ende Maumere result of the total soil erosion. Yos must Kelimutu to walk alone. Practice of journalism is fantastic!
Yos comply with the command Om Valens - although Om Damy actually quite objections because of the earthquake are still up there and danger in the journey. Yos spent six days go-home-Kelimutu Ende. Sleeping in the house of the people in the journey. Om Valens proud of it.
He makes writing and pictures that break Surabaya, the newspaper reports that Kelimutu dry. News is lying, speculative. Lake Kelimutu still tricolor, even though the earthquake occurred due to the decrease in surface soil around the lake edge. Pos Kupang display photos Yosafat piece with the background color of the three lakes.
Unfortunately the photo credit Yos shipment that is now Chairman of the KPU Ngada district is written: Photo Pos Kupang / Yosafat Koli. Yos can take a picture by himself. When we all know, the camera is just old camera, not the camera automatically. Hans Itta, Editor of Flobamora jokes, "Yos whether the image you that the devil in the Mount Kelimutu?" Yos also roar with laughter aware mistakes.
Recall the early Pos Kupang in serious condition with a far different now that everything is far more complete and adequate. First journalist to search for any news on foot or ride public transportation. Now generally have their own vehicles. First page in the parking lot just one of two motorcycles, the number now dozens. Information and communications technology is so rapid. Facilitate the work become more efficient and effective. The age is changed.
Madman
SKH Pos Kupang present in the middle pesismisme most of the readers of NTT. Big question is whether a newspaper can survive this? Pos Kupang experience failure often become the reference comparison. Moreover, one of the key daily newspapers is Damyan Godho, the Kompas Daily correspondent also incipience pioneer Pos Kupang with the opportunity to serve struggling readers in NTT between the years 1978-1986.
When launching the event at the Pantai Timor Hotel Kupang, Governor of NTT. Hendrik Fernandez depict the pioneer of this newspaper as "the people mad." So mad because newspapers are published daily in the region poorly NTT. Governor Fernandez imagine how the severity of business Pos Kupang because of all the raw materials must be imported from Java. Also, the difficulty to distribute newspapers throughout Flobamora - in the midst of obstacles isolation areas and facilities, transportation and communication infrastructure that is far from adequate.
"But this requires the NTT 'mad people' like Damyan Godho, Valens Doy, Rudolf Nggai. For a change, there must be courage to take the risk. I welcomed the presence Pos Kupang, which will give enlightenment to the people of NTT," said Governor Fernandez.
Our friends who served in the district as NTT average experience the same. When introducing themselves as journalists, Pos Kupang, there are welcomed with contempt. And we do not believe. There are challenging whether the Pos Kupang is passing through a period of six months. "Do not just published three months ago finished," said the comments from some people.
Criticism as blasphemy and often stop to the editor when Pos Kupang start running role as one of the means of social control. There are interesting experience when in the first six months we have received thousands of letters shoot cans. Letters without name and address of the sender. If there are, false name and address.
Our office on Jl. No Soeharto. 53 also often be caught in the rain of stones kelikir at night. We also as a law to the court. Pos Kupang presence felt start as a 'gadfly sleep the night' for some people who no feel.
Acts on the memories I replied. Each force has a story about each. All have contributed to raising the daily 15 years of age.
Being a journalist Pos Kupang means a child of East Nusa Tenggara, a child subserve the nation for most of the still miksin and father, left behind, marginalized. May be too ideal is to be salt and candles for each other. Reporters Pos Kupang try aplication vision and mission work in day-to-day. Helping each other out of the preparations. Explain a problem proportionally to become the reference, work, guidelines for the community.
Control without harm. Find solutions. Only with a spirit that I can proudly introduce oneself: I am journalist Pos Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara Sound. Reporters with good integrity. Reporters who can be trusted. *

Recall the early Pos Kupang in serious condition with a far different now that everything is far more complete and adequate. First journalist to search for any news on foot or ride public transportation. Now generally have their own vehicles. First page in the parking lot just one of two motorcycles, the number now dozens. Information and communications technology is so rapid. Facilitate the work become more efficient and effective. The age is changed.
Madman
SKH Pos Kupang present in the middle pesismisme most of the readers of NTT. Big question is whether a newspaper can survive this? Pos Kupang experience failure often become the reference comparison. Moreover, one of the key daily newspapers is Damyan Godho, the Kompas Daily correspondent also incipience pioneer Pos Kupang with the opportunity to serve struggling readers in NTT between the years 1978-1986.
When launching the event at the Pantai Timor Hotel Kupang, Governor of NTT. Hendrik Fernandez depict the pioneer of this newspaper as "the people mad." So mad because newspapers are published daily in the region poorly NTT. Governor Fernandez imagine how the severity of business Pos Kupang because of all the raw materials must be imported from Java. Also, the difficulty to distribute newspapers throughout Flobamora - in the midst of obstacles isolation areas and facilities, transportation and communication infrastructure that is far from adequate.
"But this requires the NTT 'mad people' like Damyan Godho, Valens Doy, Rudolf Nggai. For a change, there must be courage to take the risk. I welcomed the presence Pos Kupang, which will give enlightenment to the people of NTT," said Governor Fernandez.
Our friends who served in the district as NTT average experience the same. When introducing themselves as journalists, Pos Kupang, there are welcomed with contempt. And we do not believe. There are challenging whether the Pos Kupang is passing through a period of six months. "Do not just published three months ago finished," said the comments from some people.
Criticism as blasphemy and often stop to the editor when Pos Kupang start running role as one of the means of social control. There are interesting experience when in the first six months we have received thousands of letters shoot cans. Letters without name and address of the sender. If there are, false name and address.
Our office on Jl. No Soeharto. 53 also often be caught in the rain of stones kelikir at night. We also as a law to the court. Pos Kupang presence felt start as a 'gadfly sleep the night' for some people who no feel.
Acts on the memories I replied. Each force has a story about each. All have contributed to raising the daily 15 years of age.
Being a journalist Pos Kupang means a child of East Nusa Tenggara, a child subserve the nation for most of the still miksin and father, left behind, marginalized. May be too ideal is to be salt and candles for each other. Reporters Pos Kupang try aplication vision and mission work in day-to-day. Helping each other out of the preparations. Explain a problem proportionally to become the reference, work, guidelines for the community.
Control without harm. Find solutions. Only with a spirit that I can proudly introduce oneself: I am journalist Pos Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara Sound. Reporters with good integrity. Reporters who can be trusted. *
