The Kelompencapir was the government's channel to socialize, promote, and inform the farmers the top-down information on government’s achievement. KIM was expected to be more democratic so that the information given was bottom up even though thegovernment’s support was badly needed. The community was still somewhat allergic with the New Order and any institution similar toMinistry of Information that had been liquidated. Accordingly, the formation and activities of KIM werenot welcomed by the society and, therefore, the progress was slowed down.KIM Kartini Mojorejo, factually, hadmanagement and AD/ART.

Therefore, mentoring KIM Kartini Mojokerto on news writing and guiding them until they really write the blog are badly needed. The result of this activity was the web filled very well by the members of KIM Kartini Mojokerto.
