# A Legacy of Journalism: Discover Media Indonesia
Established on January 19, 1970, Media Indonesia stands as one of the oldest and most prominent national daily newspapers in the country. Headquartered in the Media Group complex in West Jakarta, the publication has remained a cornerstone of political reporting and general news coverage for over five decades. Operating under the Media Group umbrella led by Surya Paloh, the institution has continuously evolved, transitioning from its early print iterations to becoming a powerhouse in the modern digital media landscape.
## The Evolution of a National Reference
The history of Media Indonesia is defined by strategic growth and resilient leadership. Following its inception, the newspaper underwent a significant transformation in 1987 when founder Teuku Yousli Syah partnered with Surya Paloh. This collaboration marked the birth of PT Citra Media Nusa Purnama, the current parent company that modernized the publication’s management.
Throughout its history, the newspaper has upheld its commitment to being a "Referensi Bangsa" (The Nation’s Reference). By maintaining editorial independence and fostering a forward-thinking newsroom culture, the outlet has secured its status as a trusted voice in Indonesian journalism.
