OM Swastyastu [Balinese greeting]
My name is Sigit Purwono. I am from Bali, Indonesia.
I have been working as a TV journalist for more than 18 years, since 1991.
I like to stay in Bali because it is one of the most famous destinations in the world.
Bali is even more famous than Indonesia itself.
Bali is very well-known for its natural beauty.
A lot of art and culture have been preserved until today.
I chose to be a journalist because a journalist's work is not only important, but interesting and challenging as well.
As a journalist, I can give what is required by the community.
In this way, the community is informed of events that they should know about.
My most memorable experience was when I covered the Bali bomb case in 2002.
I followed this case since the bomb blast that happened on October 12, 2002.
I covered this case for six years, including the trial process and funeral of the bombers.
At the time, I couldn't imagine how the terrorists could commit such cruel actions.
It is difficult as a journalist to cover conflict areas
because it's difficult to know who is a friend or an opponent.
We have to take care to cover events and present our reports
so that we are not victims of our reporting processes.
