Abstract

Indonesia with the fourth-largest peat ecosystem and the largest mangrove forest, has experienced significant damage. The government has formed the Peat and Mangrove Restoration Agency (BRGM) to accelerate restoration and rehabilitation. The success of BRGM depends on community participation, with media relations as the key to increasing awareness and participation in restoration efforts. This study aims to understand the media relations strategy of BRGM Public Relations in reporting environmental issues. This study uses the Communicative Constitution of Organizations (CCO) theory to understand the media relations strategy of BRGM Indonesia Public Relations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to examine the media relations strategy of BRGM Indonesia Public Relations in reporting environmental issues. Data were collected with an in-depth focus on media relations to provide its significance and benefits for the organization and the community. The results of this study indicate that BRGM's communication constitution includes organizational communication, communication channels, information procedures, and organizational responsibilities to ensure effective, transparent, and consistent communication both internally and externally. The success of BRGM's media relations strategy is reflected in more than 50% positive news coverage and awards as an Informative Public Agency.
