ST correspondent honoured at Singapore Press Club Awards

And now, a story about the Indonesian politicians’ social media push has raised the profile of one of its writers.

The Straits Times’ Indonesia correspondent Hariz Baharudin received the Rising Stars – Young Journalist Award at the Singapore Press Club Awards 2024 on July 13.

The story which he wrote with two colleagues – Indonesia bureau chief Arlina Arshad and Indonesia correspondent Wahyudi Soeriaatmadja – was one of two cited as examples of Mr Hariz’s “excellent storytelling and impactful journalism”.

“His ability to balance detailed political reporting with human interest stories is a testament to his versatility and talent,” said the Singapore Press Club Awards’ judging panel.

Mr Hariz, 34, said: “This endeavour was not just about reporting; it was about bringing the dynamic and intricate reality of Indonesian democracy closer to our audience.”
