Media freedom in Indonesia increased considerably after the end of President Suharto's rule, during which the now-defunct Ministry of Information monitored and controlled domestic media and restricted foreign media.
The number of printed publications had increased significantly since 1998. There are hundreds of new magazines, newspapers, and tabloids. By 2002, newspaper reach had climbed to over 40 per cent of the adult population of the country.(pdf)
The television market has expanded to include some 10 national commercial networks, which compete with public TVRI. Some provinces also operate their own stations.
Private radio stations carry their own news bulletins and foreign broadcasters can supply programmes. The radio dial is crowded, with scores of stations on the air in Jakarta alone.
In 2003 the authorities reported that more than 2,000 illegal TV and radio stations were broadcasting across the country. The government urged them to apply for licences, or face closure.
The current trend are digital multimedia and "news on demand" from online news portal.
