Trans7's Director of Production Apologizes to Ponpes Lirboyo
A surprising turn of events unfolded yesterday when the director of production for Trans7, a prominent Indonesian television network, visited and apologized to a prestigious Islamic boarding school (Ponpes) in Lampung, Indonesia. The visit was prompted by a series of incidents involving students from the institution.
According to sources within the Ponpes, several students were seen watching and engaging with content on social media that was deemed inappropriate for their age group. The director, who wished to remain anonymous, reportedly expressed his regret over the content being broadcast on Trans7's platform.
"I want to extend my sincerest apologies to the families of our young viewers who may have been exposed to content that we should not have aired," said the director. "We take full responsibility for the oversight and assure our audience that we will be taking steps to ensure a safer viewing experience in the future."
During his visit, the director also met with school officials and parents to discuss ways in which Trans7 can better serve the educational needs of Indonesian youth. The meeting aimed to address concerns over the type of content being broadcast on the network.
Trans7 has stated that it will be revising its content guidelines to include stricter age restrictions for certain types of programming. The move is seen as a significant step towards ensuring that young viewers are not exposed to content that could be deemed harmful or inappropriate.
The incident highlights the importance of responsible media practices in Indonesia and underscores the need for ongoing dialogue between broadcasters, educators, and parents on issues related to children's entertainment.
