About Us

The Yogya Post is an independent publication based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We publish in English and Indonesian.

We cover the world as it is, and as it changes.

Our journalism begins with the forces that shape public life: politics, power, culture, ideas, society, and change.

We report on events, but we also look for the stories behind them. The people, places, institutions, and ideas that give meaning to what happens.

The Yogya Post publishes reporting, analysis, essays, profiles, criticism, and long-form journalism. Some stories demand immediacy. Others take time.

We approach all of them with the belief that good journalism should provide understanding without simplifying complexity. It should illuminate without telling readers what to think.

We are based in Yogyakarta, a city with a long tradition of intellectual, cultural, and civic life. Yet our journalism does not stop at its borders.

Indonesia is a wider setting for our work. At the same time, our attention extends wherever stories, questions, and ideas matter.

We publish two editions, English and Indonesian. They speak to different readers, but share the same editorial standards: independence, accuracy, fairness, clarity, and curiosity.

We believe journalism has a responsibility not only to record what has happened, but also to help us understand what is happening.

The Yogya Post is here to report, examine, and understand.
