Tribun Network is a newspaper chain in Indonesia owned by Kompas Gramedia. Currently, the group has owned 22 local newspapers, which are spread across 24 cities and regencies in Indonesia, and a national newspaper. Tribun Network also maintains its own news portal Tribunnews.com.
In the late 1980s, there was an appeal from the Department of Information to the major newspapers for helping minor local newspapers which were hampered by the press permit (SIUPP) problem. The government created regulations to cut advertisement space on a newspaper up to 30% of all content if they did not want to help minor newspapers. [1]
In 1987, Kompas Gramedia took over the ownership of Sriwijaya Post in Palembang. At the same time, the subsidiary Persda (short for Kelompok Pers Daerah, Regional Press Group) was established under the company name PT Indopersda Primamedia whose initial task was to assist local newspapers that needed assistance. In 1988, Kompas Gramedia took over Mimbar Swadaya weekly newspaper, whose name was changed to Serambi Indonesia in Banda Aceh, as well as the weekly newspaper Surya in Surabaya (which was founded by the Pos Kota in 1986) which was later changed to a daily publication. In 1992, Kompas Gramedia took over the Pos Kupang daily, and in 1994, the Banjarmasin Post . [2]
Persda later strengthened its business by publishing its own regional newspapers in other cities under the Tribun (Tribune) brand. The first newspaper to hold the brand Tribun Kaltim was first published in 2003 in Balikpapan; followed by Tribun Timur (Makassar), Tribun Jabar (Bandung), and other Tribun-branded newspapers.
On 22 March 2010, Persda changed its name to Tribun Network, describing the change as "a transformation from a striking regional image to a national one". The unified Tribunnews.com online portal was also launched. [3]
In 2014, Tribun Network published a national-oriented sports newspaper Super Ball [4] as a spin-off for the football section of its newspaper members. Its online portal, which was originally a subdomain of Tribunnews.com, is currently a subdomain of Bolasport.com. [5]
