Click Of The Week #25: Algooth ‘Aergot’ Putranto

God spell the words to make a world. Journalist use the words to change the world everyday

I like this sentence. It is how the journalists explain their work to other people in a short and simple way.

The sentence becomes a tag line for Algooth’s blog: It’s about all word’s. Algooth is a journalist for Bisnis Indonesia, reporting for the Sunday edition. Unlike most of his colleagues that write about business and economy, Algooth write-ups cover lifestyle, music and movie review, art and other leisure stuff.

In his blog, Algooth likes to write about prominent figures, local as well as international. And personally, I gained a lot of new information through his blog. For instance, this person named Carlos Slim Helu, does it ring a bell to you? I found out from Algooth’s blog that he is actually the new richest man in the world according to Forbes Magazine (next comes Bill ‘Microsoft’ Gates).

Interestingly, sometimes Algooth also post his writings that – for some reasons – cannot be published in the newspaper, like this post.
