One such institution is the Dr. Press Institute Soetomo (LPDS) Jakarta, a press education institution under the Press Council. After the Covid-19 pandemic, LPDS can no longer hold activities, such as Journalist Competency Tests and live journalism training.

This study examines the LPDS strategy to improve journalists’ competence to create professional journalists in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. Researchers use modern organizational theory.

By using modern organizational theory, the researcher found several strategies used by the LPDS to continue to carry out its functions. These strategies include holding virtual classes with topics that are relevant to the situation faced by journalists. The class is held every week for two hours with prominent speakers who are experts in their fields. This virtual class is open to journalists from all provinces in Indonesia.
