Description: In this episode, we have a special interview with award-winning freelance investigative journalist and all-around badass female in the world of Indonesian journalism, Febriana Firdaus. We talk about her unique journey from TEMPO to TIME — including pit stops at Femina, Intisari, and Rappler — and her commitment to covering difficult and dangerous stories, particularly the ongoing human rights abuses happening in Papua right now. We discuss the history of the conflict between Papuan freedom fighters and the Indonesian military, including Febri’s first-hand experience talking to locals and the situation on the ground right now. We also talk about Febri’s latest venture, the podcast-and-newsletter Suara Papua, or "Voice of Papua," which aims to spread awareness of local Papuan stories between foreign English readers as well as Indonesians & local Papuans who care about what’s happening to the Papuan community.
