The Yogya Post is an independent digital newsroom based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, founded with a commitment to public-interest journalism that is credible, rigorous, and relevant. In an era marked by rapid change, information overload, and growing distrust in media, we seek to bring clarity, context, and depth to the stories that matter most.
We report across a wide range of subjects, including politics, economics, technology, arts, and sports, connecting local realities with global developments. Our journalism is grounded in verified facts, careful reporting, and editorial independence. We aim to help readers not only stay informed, but also better understand the forces shaping their lives and societies.
The Yogya Post is built on collaboration, curiosity, and ethical responsibility. Our journalists share a belief that the role of the press goes beyond relaying events. Journalism must question power, scrutinize institutions, amplify underrepresented voices, and provide space for thoughtful analysis. We value accuracy over speed and substance over sensationalism.
Our editorial team brings together writers, editors, and visual journalists with diverse backgrounds and experiences in the Indonesian media landscape. Together, we work to produce reporting that is fair, contextual, and accountable to the public we serve.
Why we exist
The Yogya Post exists because journalism is a public good. In a media environment crowded with noise, click-driven content, and misinformation, we offer an alternative model: independent, reader-focused, and principled. Every article we publish is rooted in research, verification, and a commitment to fairness. We believe readers deserve journalism that respects their intelligence and their time.
Our values
Public service is at the core of our work. We write for readers, not for advertisers or political interests. Editorial integrity guides every decision we make, ensuring that our reporting is independent and free from outside influence. We are committed to accountability, welcoming scrutiny and being transparent about our methods and sources. We also believe in inclusivity, actively seeking diverse perspectives from across Indonesia and beyond.
Sustained by readers, not interests
The Yogya Post is fully independent and supported by readers who value ethical, responsible journalism. We adhere to Indonesia’s Journalist Code of Ethics and Cyber Media Guidelines, upholding the highest standards of integrity, accuracy, and public accountability. Our independence allows us to remain focused on our mission: producing journalism that informs, challenges, and endures.
