Meet The Chairs!
Rania Lumongga Harahap

At first, she joined regular councils before her love for writing pulled her into journalism or the Press Corps. She loves the fun, chilled, and cozy environment of the Press Council and is looking forward to the conference ahead.
As she and the UNCA chairpersons said last year: Godspeed journalists.
