Hearing this was a shocking blow to the family left behind. Hermiyanti, Marwan’s wife, admitted that she had invited her husband to clean their house before leaving to Lamongan. Her wife’s instincts became even worse when her husband’s cell phone could not be contacted. Hermiyanti’s tears finally broke when Marwan’s friend contacted her. Likewise with Alwan, the family described him as a person who became an encouragement when he was present in their midst. It was hard to forget his figure who was so pleasant. All three bodies will be buried in their respective homes. The driver, Sunardi, was already on his way to Magetan. The family cried as the ambulance siren filled the room.
TV One’s Chief Editor, Lalu Mara Satriawangsa, said that the crew that was involved in the accident was on their way to Lamongan to investigate Carok in East Java. Mara also mentioned that they left to Lamongan on Wednesday (30/11) night. The television station owned by prominent businessman Aburizal Bakrie gave a statement that the victim would be taken over by TV One directly for further handling. TV One also felt the loss of a crew member who was on duty in an investigation called “Fakta.” Now the body is on its way to a proper burial. While no statement has been given by Rosalia until netizens criticize to apologize.
This news is a deep sorrow for the realm of Journalism in Indonesia. The intellectual figure of the private station TV One is an example for press organizations with a series of achievements in journalism. Solidarity between press institutions began to be shown by honoring the figure of the warrior with his weapon in the form of writing that broadens the insight of his readers.
