Indonesia: Business paper to hit newsstands next week
Posted by Carolyn Lo on April 29, 2008 at 1:47 PM
Next Monday, 24-page Indonesian newspaper Koran Jakarta will be available at newsstands with a target of selling 80,000 copies.
The paper is published by PT Berita Nusantara and will have a special economics section.
"We're not head to head with any other newspapers because ours is unique. It is a morning newspaper with more news on the economy," said chief editor Marthen Selamet Susanto.
According to Selamet, 40% of the paper will focus on business.
"We have a concept and we offered it to businessmen. There are at least 10 businessmen providing us with capital, but they don't determine our editorial," he said. Instead, Selamet says the paper belongs to its reporters.
The newspaper's readership would be people "with salaries above Rp 1 million with at least a high school education," according to Selamet.
The newspaper will be available in Greater Jakarta, South Sumatra's Palembang, and West Java's Bandung.
