BANDUNG, PRINDONESIA.CO - The peak night of the 2019 PRIA was opened by the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil. In front of more than 500 PR practitioners from all over Indonesia and leaders from the regional heads to CEOs, the man who is popularly called Kang Emil acknowledged the strategic role of PR. Especially in the middle of the digital era like today. The speed and convenience of people receiving information are not matched by people's reading and writing interests. "Our society tends to be lazy to read and write. This condition causes this country to believe in hoaxes and fake news. They tend to only read the news titles and can get easily provoked," he said. "That is why the challenges of public relations today and in the future are not seeking information, but sorting out information," Ridwan added while advising that public relations practitioners always move to follow the dynamics of the times, remain relevant, and keep innovating because the world is getting more digital.

Founder and CEO of PR INDONESIA Asmono Wikan viewed the existence of PR today is more resonant. This can be seen from the spread of participants and the quality of PRIA participants in the fourth year both in terms of programs and PR content are more creative and innovative. He saw a number of participants able to strengthen the institutional positioning of public relations as a strategic organization and considered important by management. "This is exciting. Because the initial purpose of PRIA competition is to encourage public relations tasks and functions to have a more strategic position in the eyes of the management," he said.

Magdalena Wenas agreed. The PR INDONESIA Guru who has overseen PRIA's journey from the start as a judge acknowledged the participants' ability and creativity are developing each year, even though not all of them. "Public relations is a dynamic process. So, we must continue to adjust to the public dynamics around us and be observant of the opportunities that lie ahead," she said.

This time PR INDONESIA in collaboration with iSentia once again held an appreciation for the Most Popular category. This category was assessed based on the results of monitoring of institutions, ministries, and corporations that have the highest exposure for the past year in more than 150 print media throughout Indonesia using iSentia Mediaportal.

While the presentation assessment included Sustainability Business, Community Based Development, Corporate PR, PR Marketing, PR Government, PR Department, and Digital PR. The number of the 2019 PRIA entries reached 476 entries, it increased compared to last year which was 363 entries. The non-presentation judging was held on February 22 and 25, 2019, while the judging of the presentation was held on 4 - 6 March 2019.
