Indonesian journalists accept bribes

Many Indonesian journalists accept bribes, according to a report in an Australian newspaper, The Age. The paper claims that journalists take "brown envelope" bribes from public officials with two ministries explaining that, despite a presidential campaign against corruption, cash is handed out to journalists who attend news conferences. One reporter said he often received payments from military officials, saying: "These people will think we're arrogant if we refused to take it." (Via IJNET.org)
