The Jakarta Post has redesigned, explaining that "the time has come... we must adapt to the constantly changing environment." The new format is slimmer, but with more pages, more sections, a new font, and a new design.

The paper also announced that it has changed the way it works in the newsroom "to make our work more effective and efficient," and to "integrate better with our ever-growing online edition." Newspapers around the world, such as the Guardian, are integrating their print and online editions and reorganizing their newsrooms accordingly.

"We have revamped our paradigm of what constitutes stories fit to publish," the paper goes on to explain, in light of "growing competition from other media that provides news in real time such as the Internet and 24-hour TV news channels." Presumably this means that the paper will contain more in depth analysis of issues in print, while leaving breaking news to its website.
