However, they still find that sometimes press materials are not written effectively. Raja Eben Lumbanrau of BBC News (Jakarta) suggests that communications professionals go back to the basics. ''It should provide an answer to the 5Ws + 1H, which stands for what, when, where, why, who and how.'' Arfyana Citra of Kontan also suggests they should always introduce themselves first when sending press releases.
Meanwhile, Mother & Baby Indonesia's Senior Editor Tifanny Warrantyasri said no press kit is complete without high resolution photos with captions.
