Click Of The Week #19: Zaky Yamani

This is a story of a young journalist in Bandung. The story of Zaky Yamani, who work at Pikiran Rakyat daily newspaper.
Pikiran Rakyat is a major local newspaper in Bandung.
I always remember Pikiran Rakyat, memories about a paper-boy (or man?) who delivered Pikiran Rakyat very early in the morning to my parent-house. Maybe this is the reason why at that time my father prefer to subscribe to PIkiran Rakyat than any other daily publication: our paperboy was able to delivered first thing in the morning, the earliest newspaper that we can get.
At that time, I always wonder: How do they prepared the newspaper, so they can delivered it very early in the morning? They must be a hardworkers. I really want to know what kind of people they are.
Well, Zaky Yamani is one of them.
Further more, his hard-work in journalism gives him an award from Aliansi Jurnalis Indonesia and Unicef for his coverage about children in this year.
While do some working as a journalist, Zaky also tried to run a blog. Through his blog we can see his daily activites, stories, and … his poem (well who would know that behind his tough-looking face he still have a romantic-side?)
In accordance to develop his blog, he sent invitation to all journalist who would like to participated in his blog. Just take a peek on his blog.
Congratulation Zaky!!!
