Metro TV presenter Najwa Shihab said the Najwa Eye program will stop running post-exclusive interview with Novel Baswedan on July 26, 2017. In the exclusive interview, Novel Baswedan reveals many things about hard water attacks on him.
Not yet known whether the dismissal of Mata Najwa program is directly related to a special interview conducted with Novel Baswedan. To be sure, breaking bans interviewing Novel Baswedan had circulated in cyberspace.
Here is the direct explanation of Najwa Shihab related to the Najwa Eye program broadcast stop quoted from Twitter @ najwashihab account in Jakarta, Tuesday (8/8/2017), namely
"Exclusive Joint Novel Baswedan" became the last live episode of Mata Najwa. It's been 7 years Eyes Najwa airs. Since the premiere episode of "The World in the Magic Box" that aired on November 25, 2009 until Novel Baswedan's exclusive interview on July 26, 2017, a total of 511 episodes of Mata Najwa.
Over the next three weeks, Mata Najwa will present a collage of various old episodes that we consider important and valuable. At the end of August, Mata Najwa will arrive on the final episode: "No Point Notes".
But August is not only the last for Najwa's Eye. Being a Metro TV reporter in August 2000, my trip with Metro TV will also end in the same month. This is the end of August.
Seventeen years is not a short time. Being proud to be the first reporter Metro TV, as the owner of code reporter 01 in terms of friends in Kedoya, until whenever will not fade. My trip as a reporter of the first news TV in the homeland was recorded deeply, making life much richer and becoming a valuable stock to continue working as a journalist.
No thanks to the big family of Metro TV. Also to all those who have partnered and supported, especially the viewers who have been with me and Mata Najwa.
Regards,
Najwa Shihab
Many say Najwa actually knows who the perpetrators of the incident directly from Novel Baswedan own.
