The Jakarta Tribune is a daily trilingual Hindia Belandan newspaper published in English, Indonesian and Dutch. In the Autonomous Territory of Southeastern Malaya, the Indonesian version of the newspaper is substituted by a Malay version printed in Jawi script. Founded in 1835 by Edgar du Perron, Andreas van Dijk and Mochammad Djojokartadiningrat, it is the oldest newspaper still in circulation in Hindia Belanda with over 3 million average circulations of its print version and 21 million online subscribers. The Jakarta Tribune is known for its commentary on Hindia Belandan public life and culture, its distinctive narrative style, its graphics-dominated special reports, its daily news briefings and its wide range of radio and podcast shows covering numerous topics from art, current affairs, poetry, Astyrian life and politics to architecture, gastronomy, travel and nightlife. The paper has a marked centre-left bias, although it has consistently ranked amongst the most trustworthy by the Kebenaran Institute, a Hindia Belandan charity based in Jakarta which checks and verifies facts.
The paper is based in Jakarta and owned by the non-profit organisation Edanmo, named after the first few letters of the names of The Jakarta Tribune's founders. Whilst primarily based in Jakarta, it maintains small bureaux across Hindia Belanda and in a number of Noordenstaater and Lorecian cities. The print version of the paper is organised into "stories from the capital", politics, national, world, Astyria, arts, lifestyle and opinion sections. The online version offers a wider range of sections not included in the print version, such as the popular "Briefings from the Commonwealth" and "Around Town".
Nathaniel Atmomoestadja has been The Jakarta Tribune's Editor-in-Chief since 2019, succeeding Yasmine du Perron who is the great-great-granddaughter of Edgar du Perron, one of the paper's founders. The general direction of the paper is influenced by its senior and junior correspondents and writers. Since the 1950s, the paper has been printing features written in the first-person in a narrative style. Since the launch of its online version in 1998, it has consistenly published the Briefings from the Commonwealth, focussing on people, current affairs and the mundane. For instance, the 3 March 2020 edition of the Briefings from the Commonwealth begins with the phrase "Antje Moeljani, the Prime Minister, did not finish her plate of chicken satay for breakfast at a restaurant in Central Jakarta and immediately left for an urgent Council of State meeting". The emphasis which The Jakarta Tribune places on mentioning the mundane affairs of the people about which it reports is one of the distinctive characteristics of the paper.
