Professional Journey

Before stepping into the world of academia, Eka Yusup found his voice in journalism:

* Reporter at the daily newspaper Pikiran Rakyat, Bandung (2007–2008)

* National TV reporter at Trans TV (2009–2011)

Newsrooms, street corners, and the pulse of unfolding stories shaped his narrative instinct.

These early years enriched his writing—with both scholarly precision and poetic depth—infused with social sensitivity and a quiet sense of humanity.
