Kompas.com

Kompas.com is one of the most prominent digital news platforms in Indonesia, operating as part of the massive Kompas Gramedia group. The brand originated from the long-standing tradition of the Kompas daily newspaper, which was established in 1965 to provide high-quality, credible journalism to the Indonesian public. The digital iteration, Kompas.com, was launched to adapt the prestige of the printed press to the internet age.

As a digital product, it is developed and managed entirely in Indonesia by local engineering and editorial teams. The platform serves as a cornerstone of Indonesian media, covering a wide range of topics from national politics and economy to entertainment and technology. It remains a locally owned and operated entity, deeply rooted in the Indonesian social and corporate landscape.

The ultimate owner, Kompas Gramedia, is a diversified conglomerate with interests in media, publishing, hospitality, and education. It remains a privately held Indonesian company, ensuring that the brand's governance and editorial direction stay within its country of origin. This ownership structure has allowed Kompas.com to maintain its position as a primary source of information for millions of Indonesian speakers worldwide.
