Tangerang, Banten. Indonesia's leading business newspaper, Investor Daily, celebrated its 25th anniversary on Friday, marking a quarter-century of reporting on the country's economic transformation while remaining one of the few national newspapers to maintain a print edition alongside a rapidly expanding digital presence.

The milestone comes at a time when print newspapers around the world continue to face mounting pressure from digital media, changing consumer habits, and advances in artificial intelligence.

Since its launch in 2001, Investor Daily has chronicled five presidential administrations, five general elections, the global financial turmoil of the early 2010s, the Covid-19 pandemic, and numerous regional and international events that have shaped Indonesia's economy.

“Throughout that journey, Investor Daily has remained committed to providing trusted business and economic information for decision-makers, entrepreneurs, investors, and the wider public,” said Rio Abdurachman, chief executive of B-Universe Media Holdings, the newspaper's parent company.

The anniversary was commemorated in a modest ceremony at B-Universe headquarters in Pantai Indah Kapuk 2, Tangerang.

Rio said the publication has undergone a major transformation over the past four years to adapt to rapid advances in digital technology, artificial intelligence, and changing audience preferences, particularly among younger readers.

“Media platforms have evolved from print to digital and now to multimedia enriched by video content on platforms such as YouTube,” he said. “Whatever comes next, Investor Daily is prepared to continue adapting.”

Like many newspapers worldwide, Investor Daily has faced the challenge of declining print readership while investing heavily in digital publishing and multimedia journalism. Unlike many of its peers, however, it has continued publishing a daily print edition alongside its 24-hour digital platform, Investor.id.

Editor-in-Chief Djaka Susila said the newspaper's digital transformation is part of a broader strategy across B-Universe's media portfolio, which includes Beritasatu.com, JakartaGlobe.id, BTV, and the DataSatu business intelligence platform.

“We remain committed to serving our readers with accurate, timely reporting on business and public policy while continuing to be a trusted partner as they navigate Indonesia's evolving political and economic landscape,” Djaka said.
