Ferry Haryanto as the Director of Garudafood gave 100 annual account subscriptions to Kompas.id for Diponegoro University Semarang during the Garudafood’s Webinar Supporting Digital Literacy and Quality Journalism on Thursday, 21 October 2021.
In the ceremony, account subscriptions were symbolically given by Ferry Haryanto to Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, S.H.,M.Hum Rector of Diponegoro University Semarang. Through this program, Garudafood hopes to assist lecturers in transferring knowledge to students from credible sources and accurate information or data.
On that occasion, a digital literacy discussion was also held with the topic "Abundant Information, Filtering Hoaxes, and Fake News" which was brought by Haryo Damardono (Vice Managing Editor of Harian Kompas). The discussion reminded us about the role of the private sector, universities, and the media in using social media more wisely.
