Indonesia has a long literary tradition. The oldest proof of writing was found in a stone inscription from the 4th century CE. During the period of two millennia that follows, a vast collection of
writings have been produced. After a long period of strict press control and censorship in the last
half of the 20th century, a new golden era has flourish. In the decade that follows, the number
of publishers has grown to more than 900. By 2008 around 12,000 titles are published annually,
not to mention the dozens of newspapers,
magazines, and other periodicals published throughout the nation.
The importance of this ancient craft,
however, goes far beyond the commercial
value that those numbers suggest. This literary tradition is at the heart of every civilization and critical to Indonesia’s dynamic
power to create, recreate, and develop
itself to become a proud member of the
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium through the
use of a set of signs or symbols (known
as a writing system). It is distinguished
from illustration, such as cave drawing
and painting, and the recording of language via a non-textual medium such
as magnetic tape audio.
world most advance nations.
The history of mankind starts with the invention of writing system. The period before there
was writing is referred to as prehistory. Writing is the foundation on which mankind build their
civilization and culture.

Academia suggests that writing began in the Near East as a necessity to keep records of economic activities. For example, village chiefs or merchants needed to keep tracks of their stocks
and cattle. This ancient accounting practice were then refined and evolved through the ages into
a more complex system that we now called the writing systems.
The Mesopotamian cuneiform is believed to be the oldest form of writing system. Yet, although other civilization might have been influenced by this form, writing systems of the world
are diverse in their nature. The Chinese writing system, for example, uses pictures or pictogram
to convey different meanings. On the other hand, each of the Latin alphabets tries to represent
unique human sounds.
Whatever their form and nature, writings enable human to develop far beyond other creature. Man of letters is a term frequently used to describe the most literate and educated level of
society. This is the most elite strata of society. Not only they have political, economical and social
control over the society, they also determine the future of that society and its existence as a thriving civilization.
Since the inception of language, mankind has

developed many oral traditions to transmit its culture from one part of society to another or from
one generation to the next. The development of
literacy—especially the invention of writing and
printing—took mankind to a new height. Written
works are more powerful than oral ones. And society that have a richer library of literature become
more prosperous than others.
Poetry is the oldest form of literature. Examples
of this early works are the Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamia), the Homeric epics Illiad and Odyssey
(ancient Greece), Mahabharata and Ramayana (India). Religious texts are usually in poetic form,
as evident in many parts of the Vedas, Bible and Quran.
However, in modern time, the importance of poetry has been supplanted by prose. The forms
we usually see (and read) in the newspapers, novels, school books, academic essays, and legal

Although early usage of language might be to facilitate communication between individuals,
its role in public space is extremely important. The development of the writing system can make

words transcend space and time. The
Codex Hammurabi of ancient Babylonia, the best preserved law code, was
inscribed in stone slabs and publicly
displayed in temples throughout the
empire. The law of the king was then
distributed and practiced in the farthest reaches of the vast Babylonian
empire. And will still be preserved and
read by people 3,500 years after the
king himself has died.
Although stone has the ability to defy adverse weather and harmful hands, a more portable
medium than stone is needed to allow better distribution. Clay tablet, papyrus, paper, and now
digital media have played a role in reaching the larger public.
Paper and printing are two technologies which are particularly important. A Chinese invention,
paper is a cheap yet versatile medium to record
and disseminate information. Archaeological evidence suggests that papermaking was developed
around 1st century BCE. Outside China, however,
the world is very slow in adopting this strategic
invention. The Moslems in the 8th century CE are
responsible in spreading papermaking and make
it a major world industry.
Printing is a process for reproducing text and image, typically
with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as
a large-scale industrial process,
and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing.
The Chinese and the Moslems are also early
pioneers in the field of printing. The first printed
newspaper was available in Beijing in 700 CE. However, modern printing industry traces its ancestry to the work of Johannes Gutenberg of 15th century Germany. His invention has such a
profound influence to the world today by fueling the European Renaissance.
The traditional books—as opposed to the nascent e-books—combine the power of paper
and printing. They are still the most dominant form of publishing today. Although digital media,
such as television and the Internet, is growing in stature, it is unlikely for them to replace traditional paper books in the near future.

THE ART
OF
WRITING AND THE
PUBLISHING INDUSTRY
IN INDONESIA
In recent years, many publishers have expanded
their business to other related areas. The trend
have created a group of media companies.
Alphabets and Writing Tools
Indonesia has known writing at least since the 4th century CE. The oldest archaeological evidence of writing in Indonesia is the seven Yupa (“sacrificial post”)
stone pillars in Kutai, East Kalimantan. The inscription was in Pallava script of India. This suggests that Indian merchants have traveled far to the Indonesian archipelago and had significant influence over the culture of its inhabitants.
The pillars speak of “gifts to the Brahmin priests.” Although there are no name of the kingdom
that erect this pillars, three of its rulers are mentioned. Kudungga, “the lord of men”; his son Aswawarman, “the founder of the dynasty”; and the grandson Mulawarman, “the lord of kings.” The
latter two names are of Sanskrit style, while the first one is not. Experts presumed that the first
king is of local origin and it was his son that adopted Hinduistic beliefs. The grandson conquered
neighboring kingdoms and then ordered the pillars to be erected.
Another monument of around the same age and also written in Pallava script is found in Batu
Tulis, West Java. However, writings from later era showed an evolution of the writing system. The
change is a way to adapt Indian script to the sound of Austronesian tongue, which has a different
voice system than Indian, as well as to the development of writing methods and tools.

Indonesian Publishing
Physically separated by large bodies of water and culturally separated in ethnic and linguistic
groups, ancient Indonesians developed various kinds of scripts based on Indian script. Famous
among them are Kawi, Javanese, Balinese, Bugis-Makassar, Batak, and Rencong scripts. In modern times, however, the use of Indian-influenced script has been replaced by Arabic and Latin.
In addition to stone, ancient manuscripts can also be found in metal (usually bronze) and
organic materials. Lontar or tal leaves (Borassus flabellifer) is one of the most popular. It has been
used for centuries in Java, Bali and Lombok. Today, Balinese still use lontar to write on, mostly for
religious purposes. The application of organic materials may have predated the stone inscriptions in Kutai. However, none of them have survived the tropical environment.
Stone
It is naturally resilient against the harsh tropical environment. The oldest record of
writing in Indonesia was carved in stone in the form of a royal monument in Kutai,
East Kalimantan dated 400 CE. The oldest poetry ever found is a stone carving of
a version of Ramayana epic from 856 CE.
Metal
Bronze, gold and silver were frequently used, at least as far as 1,000 years ago. Precious metals were used mainly for ritual purposes.
Lontar
This material is the medium of choice in ancient Java. Its long horizontal form and
natural characteristic heavily influenced the development of local writing styles.
Balinese people still use lontar for religious purposes.
Nipah Palm Nipah leaves (Nipa fruticans) is thinner than tal leaves. Brush and ink pen are used
for writing. The oldest organic manuscript ever found in Indonesia is a 14th century text written on this medium.
Wood
Wood-carved writings are used to decorate houses and mosques.
Dluwang
Dluwang is a made from Broussonetia papyrifera. Although many call it “Javanese
paper,” it is not made from pulp. Its appearance is similar to wood.
Paper
Paper is a Chinese invention, but it came to Indonesia together with Islam. High
quality European paper further enhanced the quality of Indonesian manuscripts.
8
Indonesian Publishing
The most famous of all material, the paper, was not widely used in Indonesia until the spread
of Islam in the 13th century. They are mostly used to write in Arabic, Malay, Javanese, Maduran,
Bugis, and Makassar languages. The introduction of high-quality Western papers resulted in the
blossoming of beautiful manuscripts.
Important Writers and Manuscripts
The ability to adapt foreign scripts in order to write in native Indonesian languages opened
new possibilities. The Indian epic Ramayana was written in 856 in an early poetic form known as
kakawin in Old Javanese language. This is the oldest known evidence of Indonesian literature.
One important text is the Nagarakrtagama by Prapanca in 1365. It was written at the height
of the Majapahit Empire, the most powerful of all the kingdoms in Indonesian history. Nagarakrtagama describe the life of the people of the empire, the royal palace, its territory, and royal
lineage. The text is a critical source in studying social and political history of Java.
Other examples of important texts and authors can be seen in the following table.

consists of This Earth of Mankind (1981), Child of All Nations (1984), Footsteps (1990), and House of
Glass (1992).

the Asia’s Nobel Prize—for Journalism, Literature, and Creative Communication Arts. They are
Mochtar Lubis (1958), Pramoedya Ananta Toer (1995), and Atmakusuma Astraatmadja (2000).
National leaders or prominent economists, e.g. Moh. Hatta, Pang Lay Kim, Sumitro Djoyohadikusumo, BJ Habibie, and many others, are also productive and excellent non-fiction writers.
In this modern era, with the explosive growth of television stations and cinemas, more and
more works have been adapted to the screen. Many direct-to-television drama and romance
films are taken from novels. The top movies of 2008 are both based on novels. Ayat-ayat Cinta
(Verses of Love, 2004) by Habiburrahmah El Shirazy and Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Troops, 2005) by
Andrea Hirata are both best-selling novels even before they were blockbuster movies.
The Beginning of the Industry
Publishing industry in Indonesia began during the years of Dutch occupation. The Dutch introduced Western technology to Indonesia. Printing was first introduced by the Roman Catholics in
the 17th century for missionary purposes. Within a few years, the VOC—the Dutch colonial administration in Indonesia—began to use printing machines to print official documents. One notable
early document is the treaty signed by the famous Sultan Hasanuddin of Gowa-Makassar in 1668.
For a while, the industry suffered from lack of raw materials and skilled labor. This started to
improve after the opening of the first bookstore in Batavia (now Jakarta) in 1839. Most publications were story books catered for the needs of Dutch citizens. Printing of periodicals began in
the later half of the century.
By the turn of the century, newspapers began circulation. The interesting fact is that they
were not just for the Dutch. Various local languages were also used, but the Malay language, a
lingua franca in the region, trumped over other languages. Media Prijaji, led by R.M. Tirtodisurjo,
was the first newspaper to have a nationalistic view and fully funded by native Indonesians. Its
existence was a sign of growing Indonesian nationalism. It ran between 1902 and 1908.
10
Book publishing was slow to develop, but by the 20th century, it ranked third in colonial Asia, behind
Hong Kong and Singapore. This is evident in the number of items held by libraries all over the world.
Indonesian Publishing
In 1910 Dutch Administration founded the Volkslectuur to print school books for local schools.
This printing agency also published books for farmers and adult novels, mostly translated works
by Western authors. A large part of its “Indonesian” publications was Dutch language guide. By
1939, Volkslectuur published around 800 titles and an average print of 5,000. This is larger than
the production of private publishing agencies.
After the Dutch was replaced by the Japanese, Volkslectuur remained in operation. Native
Indonesians were able to take over work from the Dutch. Volkslectuur was later renamed Balai
Pustaka. The company is still in operations until now.
Within half a century, the publishing industry has grown exponentially. At the end of the 20th
century, there were 110 officially-registered printing agencies and 275 news agencies. The latter
used 203 million kilograms of paper and had circulation of 12 million. Indonesian Publishers Association (IKAPI) listed as much 350 book publishers as member; they published around 6,000
titles annually. This number represents a 500% jump from 1945.
Publishing as an Industry
The term “industry” means more than just machineries spewing out products for many consumers, although for most people that is the definition they understand most. In an industry, of
course, there are producers and consumers, and there are also suppliers of materials, equipment,
labor, capital and services. There are various levels of regulators and independent observers and
academics. Although not as advance as those in industrial nations, Indonesian publishing industry is already at a high level of development.
11
Indonesian Publishing
The main player in this industry, of course, is the publisher or publishing house. This is the
linchpin of the whole industry, where all other elements revolve and connects. While the main
physical material for books is paper, the main essence is intangible. As an intellectual and creativity-based industry, the people working in this industry are intellectuals and professionals. They
are not ordinary people, but highly talented and specialized people, the kind that are usually
university-educated and highly-skilled. Hence, universities and the education system play a big
role as supplier of manpower and partner to the industry. Financial capital and equipment, especially printing machine, are another important factor that supports this industry. And the most
important of all is government, because in its role as regulator, political decision maker, and biggest customer, a government set the macro-environment in which a publisher operates.
In Indonesia, there are different kinds of publishers with different focus. General publishers
release different kinds of books, each has their own publishing characteristics. Some would release a lot of books around social themes, such as history, culture, or politics, while others might
lean toward fictions (e.g. novels, poems). In recent years, many publishers are Islamic, i.e. they
publish books with Islamic themes. These publishers can be large and small, and they are spread
all over the nation. Mizan is an example of publisher of Islamic books.
University presses are usually small in terms of manpower and publications. They are affiliated and created by universities to support their functions and focused on scholarly books. Examples of this are UI Press and Gama Press. Some other publishers focus on school textbooks.
They don’t release as many titles as general publishers and probably less known by the general
public, but their revenue is quite high because
the market for school books is huge. Ganeca Exact, Erlangga, and Tiga Serangkai are examples
of publishers that release mostly school/university books and other education titles.
The largest publishers usually publish many
kinds of books, sometimes under different
brand names or through various subsidiaries.
Examples of this category are Kompas-Gramedia
(Bhuana Ilmu Perkasa, ElexMedia Komputindo,
Grasindo, etc.), AgroMedia (GagasMedia, Kawan
12
Indonesian Publishing
Pustaka, etc.), Mizan (Mizan Pustaka, Bentang
Pustaka, etc.) Most of these large publishers are
headquartered in Jakarta or Bandung, but have
offices in other cities.
From Ideas to Books
The process of publishing of a book usually starts with an acquisition of a manuscript or
proposal from a writer or author (can be a single person or a group of people). This could happen in two ways: either the publisher request the author to write a book
with particular theme and content, or the author submits the manuscript to
publisher directly without any request from the publisher, or in other word,
unsolicited.
The source of manuscript is abundant, because Indonesian authors have
varying education and geography. The poet and essayist Goenawan Mohammad was born in Central Java and studied psychology and politic in university. Young female novelist Fira Basuki was born in East Java and a US graduate. Among the three Ramon Magsaysay Award laureates, Mochtar Lubis
came from West Sumatra, Pramoedya Ananta Toer from Central Java, and
Atmakusuma Astraatmadja from Banten. While the productive and multi-talented Putu Wijaya is a Balinese with a law degree.
Inside the publisher’s organization, the editor would play a critical role. He
or she would act like a project manager for the publication. If the editor likes
the manuscript, the process of publication will continue to the next step. The
editor and author will work together to develop the content of the manuscript further. The art (e.g. cover of the book) and marketing (e.g. promotion strategy, distribution) aspects will be the developed by working together with other departments of the publishing house. After everyone agrees with the final result, the editor will send it to the printer for
production.
Some publishing houses operate their own printing machines. Some other would use the service of a printing company. The latter is especially true for a small publisher or a self-publisher—
i.e. an author that publish his/her own books without the help of a publishing house. In any case,
the editor would work together with authors or production team to ensure that the book meets
the standard of quality, cost, and time.
Before publishing, publisher could request an ISBN number. ISBN stands for International
Standard Book Number. It is a unique numerical identifier and assigned to each edition and
variation of a book (except reprinting). International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is
responsible for the standard and since 2007 it is 13 digits long. ISO also has similar identifier,
the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), for publications of periodicals such as magazines. In Indonesia, ISBN is administered by the National Library while ISSN National Centre for

Institute of Sciences (LIPI). The two are government agencies and are located in Jakarta.
From Publishers to Consumers
There are several ways for a publisher to sell its books. The simplest way would be to sell directly to consumers through a publisher-owned bookstore. Traditionally, this proves to be quite
difficult, because the publisher has to have an extensive network of stores to reach a lot of consumers. Especially difficult is reaching for readers in other countries or distant locations. Hence,
the need for the middlemen; in this case, the distributors and the retailers.
A common method is for the publisher to distribute books through distributors. These distributors buy a large numbers of copies of various titles from different publishers. For purchasing
in large quantity, a distributor will receive a considerable discount off the list price a consumer
would pay at the counter. The distributor will then sell those books in smaller volume to various
independent bookstores in its area of operation. For
large bookstores or those that are part of a chain
of bookstores, publisher usually interacts directly
without the help of a distributor. Bookstores would
also receive a discount from distributor or publisher. Many such distributors exist in Indonesia.
In recent years, the development of new technology has change the dynamic of this relationship. Telecommunication technologies—most notably the Internet—enable many publishers to sell
direct. A consumer can browse for books through
the publisher’s website and place orders, the publisher will then send the books through the mail.
Transportation also changes dramatically. The vast
bodies of water that separate Indonesian islands
are no longer a barrier. Shipping lines have connect ports in various islands, big and small. Airlines have also reached and connect the once remote areas of this archipelago with regular and
reliable flights.
14
Indonesian Publishing
The most famous example of this new distribution channel is the US-based Amazon.com.
There is no Indonesian equivalent for Amazon.com, but many Indonesian publishers are already
present in this so-called marketspace, albeit in limited ways compared to those in US and Europe. Newspaper and magazine publishers have websites where they publish their printed-on-
paper contents in various degrees of details. Book publishers, too, have online stores or online
book catalogs where consumers can browse or do online transactions.
Publishing and The Media
In recent years, many publishers have expanded their business to other related areas, and
sometimes non-publishing companies have entered publishing. These two trends have created
a group of media companies. The matrix below will illustrate the extent of the conglomeration in
the publishing and printing industry.
This conglomeration signal two facts. First, publishing is a profitable industry, and publishers
have enough cash to expand and invest in other businesses. Second, publishers have considerable control over the value chain and therefore guarantee stability of growth and revenue in
the face of adverse situation like supply scarcity (paper supply is secured) or cyclical downturn
(cross-subsidy from other businesses).

The Printing Industry
Publishing and printing are intertwined. Mass publication was made possible by the invention of printing machines. Printing of books is the most important part of printing industry. However, there are areas where the two are not connected. Modern publishing are exploring digital
media, especially the Internet. On the other hand, printers have been printing products other
than books or periodicals for a long time.
With abundance of raw materials and highly-skilled workforce, Indonesian printers have competed globally. Some examples: Perum Peruri of Jakarta produced passport books for Sri Lanka.
PT Karya Toha Putra of Semarang, Central Java is capable of manufacturing about 250,000 hard-
16
Indonesian Publishing
cover copies of the Quran—the Islamic holy book—every month and many are exported. The
Jawa Pos Group of Surabaya, East Java, prints around 50 million copies of education books to be
distributed in Afghanistan. The Offset Division of Pura Group of Kudus, Central Java, can supply
up to 3 billion units of packaging and printing products every year.
Security Printing
Security printing is a segment of the printing industry that produces items like banknotes,
passports, stock certificates, postage stamps, identity cards, insurance policy, etc. The main objective is to prevent forgery and counterfeiting, and therefore demand technological innovation.
This segment is not only lucrative, but also highly strategic to a country’s economic and political
existence.
Postage stamps and banknotes are of strategic importance for a country. In Indonesia, the
Government owned Perum Peruri or Percetakan Uang Republik Indonesia (which translates to
The Indonesian Government Security Printing and Minting Corporation)—it is an Indonesian version of the U.S. Mint and The British Royal Mint, and more. Government Regulation Number 32 of
2006 assigned Peruri to print Indonesian Rupiah (both paper and coin), immigration documents,
excised stamps, duty stamps and land certificate, but the company also produces other security
products for public and private institutions.
Peruri is not the only company in security printing. PT Jasuindo Tiga Perkasa, a publicly-listed
company based in Sidoarjo, East Java, is also producing security products. Another company is
PT Pura Binaka Mandiri, a division of Pura Group of Kudus, Central Java.
Digital Press
This category covers printing using digital technology which includes web-to-print technology, high-volume digital printing equipment, and print-on-demand services. Digital printing is
usually used for low-quantity print runs and for custom-made products. Major users includes
advertising and marketing related units of companies and agencies. These commercial printing
includes banners, business cards, brochures, and signs. This kind of service exists in every major
city. Many of the companies are small and family-run, but bigger operations are also available.

for Exceptional
Creativity
Government can create environment that foster
creativity through policies that produce political and
social stability, prosperity, and strong institutional
foundation
Government has a double-edged role in publishing industry. On one hand, it can restrain
industry through censorship and strict rules that curb creativity. On the other hand, government
can create environment that foster creativity through policies that produce political and social
stability, prosperity, and strong institutional foundation. The most visible role of government in
publishing is the one that is frequently criticized: censorship. However, much of Indonesian censorship law has been revoked after 1998, and now publishers enjoy a high degree of creative
freedom.
The Government has also put in place policies that should help national publishers and printers and also boost national education standard. Importation of books or other products of the
printing industry in Indonesian language or Indonesian regional languages are restricted. However, realizing that the education system needs better input, the Government will restitute or
exempt import duties for science books.
The most significant government involvement related to publishing industry in recent years
has been the passing of Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 2 of the year
2008. This rule regulates the sale of textbooks to schools. The Government would buy copyrights
of some textbooks and then allow schools, families, local governments, and companies to download the materials for free and print them. Although this regulation is a challenge to many es-
19
Indonesian Publishing
tablished publishers, it also opens up an opportunity for new players. Because of the digital distribution and publicly-owned copyright of the books, many publishers can download and print
the books and then sell it to the market. The result should be lower priced school books, faster
distribution, and less concentration and dependence on established publishers in big cities.
At the regional level, provincial governments are increasingly aware of the importance of
publishing. Some provinces have already run programs to encourage local industry. This is done
by, among others, allocating provincial budget to purchase books which are (1) written by local
authors, (2) printed by local printers, or (3) contains local themes. Some other works together
with IKAPI (the association of publishers) to sponsor or organize book fairs that focus on their
respective provincial characteristics. For example, provincial governments of West Sumatra and
Yogyakarta have agreed to support IKAPI in Frankfurt Book Fair.
Intellectual Property
Another crucial issue is intellectual property rights. Because books are intellectual creation,
protecting books from illegal copying and distribution is crucial. The Government has a new
Copyright Law of 2002 that would protect copyrights of books, typographical arrangement of
published works, and all other written works. The law also assigned the Directorate General of
Intellectual Property Rights to be in-charge of registration of copyrights.

Education
The new constitutional amendment requires the Government to allocate 20% of its annual
budget to education sector. Although it took a couple of years longer than expected for the
Government to adjust to this requirement, 2009 budget of the Ministry of National Education
will be the largest ever in Indonesian history, far exceed other ministries and institutions. One
can expect more spending and investment in facilities, trainings, and research that will improve
the competitiveness of Indonesian people and businesses. Some of those will no doubt be directed to support Indonesia’s creative industries, including publishing and printing, as 2009 is
also planned to be The Year of Creative Industry.
Among the many agencies operated by the Ministry of National Education, one is directly related to publishing and printing. Established in April 26, 1969, the Indonesian Centre of Graphic
Arts (abbreviated as Pusgrafin) is the Government’s direct involvement to develop publishing
and printing industry through development of technology, training of human resources, dissemination of information, and consulting to increase operating efficiency of publishing and printing
companies. The Center is located in Srengseng area in South Jakarta, but also operates provincial
centers in other cities.
Education is a big priority of the Indonesian Government. Policy of six years compulsoryschooling age has been extended to nine years. Government opened schools in remote areas
and supply them with teachers, founded state universities in every provincial capitals and other
big cities. Thanks to this policy, Indonesia has a high literacy rate.
The education system, especially university, is very important to the publishing industry. On
one hand it creates a society that value books and knowledge highly. An educated society is usually more affluent and therefore is more incline to purchase books. In short, it creates consumers
and demand. UNESCO predicts that by 2015 Indonesia will have 94.2% adult literacy rate and
99.2% youth literacy rate. This would mean a very large market for books.
On the other hand, education supplies the industry with talents. Indonesian authors come
from diverse background, and many of them have higher education. Only people with enough
intellectual capacity and spare time can invest their resource to writing a book. Other than authors, the education system also produces talented workers such as graphic designers, editorial
staffs, and technicians that the industry needs. Education has a profound influence to production
and supply because it provides the industry with skilled workers and creative talents.
21
Indonesian Publishing
One example is the SMK Grafika Desa Putera (Desa Putera Graphic Vocational High School)
in southern Jakarta. Established in 1947, it now has modern teaching facilities and equipments
equal to many of the leading publishing house and printing companies. The school boasts hundreds of students and over 2,000 alumni. Another example is Universitas Multimedia Nusantara
which was founded by Kompas-Gramedia Group, one of the largest media conglomerate in Indonesia. Some of the programs are Communication Science and Visual Communication Design.
Also part of developing education and literacy, the President signed the Library Act (Number
43/2007) which is the main guideline in developing the library system in Indonesia. The National
Library in Jakarta is the Government main arm in this task. However, some individual provincial
governments have realized the importance of maintaining a good library system and have established programs to improve local libraries.
Technology
Publishing is a technology-intensive industry. The obvious one is printing technology. Before
there were woodblock printing or movable type printing, dissemination of ideas was difficult
and restricted. Guttenberg’s invention revolutionized publishing and the world as a whole.
Breakthrough in technology creates new opportunity, new market, and new frontier to explore and conquer. The invention of writing opens a new world of literature. The advancement
of writing method and media enable literature to spread further and faster. In this modern era,
three technologies are particularly important for publishing and printing: offset printing, desktop publishing, digital press, and the Internet.
Offset printing is a commonly used printing technique where the inked is transferred (or in
other word “offset”) from a plate to a rubber blanket to the printing surface. The bulk of the cost
is spent on preparation, for example in the making of the plate. Additional page will only cost the
price of extra paper and ink. Therefore, the more you print, the less you pay per page. Offset printing is the most common form of high-volume commercial printing because it has advantages in
quality and efficiency for high-volume job. Kanisius printing company in Yogyakarta is the first to
own a commercial offset printing machine in the 1960s.
22
Indonesian Publishing
Digital printing, in contrast, is generally used for low-quantity print runs. Digital printing uses
digital technology such as laser printer and ink-jet printer. The advantage of digital printing is
in its flexibility. You can print different image quickly and cheaply, as opposed to offset printing
which print thousands of the same image. Digital printing enables printon-demand service. Digital printing is used internally in offices or homes,
but also in commercial services. Professional digital printing shops are
available in every major city in Indonesia. They are mostly working to help
companies to make promotion or communication materials.
Desktop publishing (sometimes called DTP) refers to the technology
that utilizes computer in publishing. Here, editing, typesetting, layout,
and other publishing functions are done in a computer by using publishing and graphic software. All the process becomes faster and the product
better. The ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ (WYSIWYG) feature of DTP software makes it easy and practical for designers to create and modify layout.
Designer can store the project digitally and modify it at later times or use
some elements of the project for other projects. With DTP, even small publishing companies can create high quality design. DTP is now a staple in
any publishing and printing companies, large or small.
Now, every Indonesian publishing house uses computer. In a small
publishing house, an editor might work in his computer just a few meters
away from a printing machine. Although the highly-celebrated computer
company Apple is credited as starting this segment by launching the Macintosh computer and LaserWriter printer series, Indonesian publishers
tend to use the PC because of its relatively low price while still maintain an
adequate level of quality.
The latest and perhaps most important technological development in
the past decade is the Internet. Internet first becomes important as a promotion channel, a new showcase for books and other publications. As transaction technology becomes better, Internet also becomes a new channel
of distribution, as companies open their online stores to sell their physical
goods. Yet, distribution of books have change again, publishers not only sell
books, but also e-books, a digital and non-physical version with the same
contents as ordinary books. Data can be transferred and downloaded to
computers or handheld devices and then read by consumers without ever
having to print it on paper.
23
Indonesian Publishing
E-book is still in its early stage, but distribution of news by non-paper “newspaper” is already
a big business in itself. Most big newspapers—Kompas, Jawa Pos, Media Indonesia, etc.—have
online presence while news websites like detik.com are also a popular Internet site.
Newspapers have used digital distribution in another manner. Typical of the news business,
morning edition has to arrive in the newsstand in the morning. For a country the size of Indonesia, this is particularly challenging. It takes hours for an airplane from the industrialized Java
Island to reach eastern Indonesian regions. Hence, centralized printing is not a good option.
News publishers create a solution by building regional printing offices. With digital technology, the central editorial staffs can email the finished layout of the newspaper to the regional
offices and let the local printing and distribution people to handle the rest. This same method
is now being used by school book publishers to print and distribute books to disparate areas, as
envisioned by the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 2/2008.
Book Fairs and Exhibitions
Book fair is an effective media to promote books as well as to increase cooperation and exchange between publishers from all over the world. In Indonesia, the largest book fairs are held
annually in Jakarta by IKAPI. The Jakarta Book Fair and Jakarta Islamic Book Fair are very popular
events for book lovers as well as industry players. Major book publishers from all over the country will take part in these exhibitions. Foreign language books are also represented, and one can
even find second hand book sellers. In addition to those fairs, other publishers or organization
may organize their own book fairs, for example Gramedia Book Fair by Kompas-Gramedia Group.
While in other cities, local IKAPI and publishers organized local book fairs. IKAPI also has a permanent exhibition space in Jakarta’s affluent Kelapa Gading district for various publishers from all
over the country to exhibit their books.
Indonesian companies regularly attend two important book fairs in the world. The Frankfurt
Book Fair is held every October and recognized as the world’s largest trade fair for books in terms
of publishing companies represented. Thousands of exhibitiors and visitors from hundreds of
countries attend. Most of them are there for copyrights and licensing fees. The Cairo International
24
Indonesian Publishing
Book Fair is also important for the global publishing industry, with attendance that could reach
around 2 million people. Participation in these trade fairs have been fruitful for Indonesian publishers. In 2007 Frankfurt Book Fair, for example, it was reported that there was an interest for 13
copyrights licensing and 10 distributorships negotiations for Indonesian books.
Community and Industry Association
The Indonesian Book Publishers Association or IKAPI was founded in
Jakarta, May 17, 1950 with only 13 members. It aims at developing Indonesian book publishing industry to a level that can serve national as well as
international markets. As of 2008, it has around 943 members, distributed
in 11 provincial branches and 3 representative offices. IKAPI has been working very hard to promote books and publishing. It is not just a lobby group,
the most visible action of IKAPI is the organizing of events and programs in
promotion. IKAPI of Jakarta, for example, organize two annual exhibitions in
Jakarta, Jakarta Book Fair and Islamic Book Fair. IKAPI also coordinate members in attending major book fairs in the world. Some of the regular venues
are Frankfurt Book Fair and Cairo International Book Fair.
Another group is the Association of Indonesian Graphic Companies
(PPGI). The group was founded in Jakarta on November 7, 1974. PPGI is
committed to increase the capabilities of printing and graphic-related
businesses through improvement of quality and fair competition. To
achieve this, they work closely with the Government, both national and
local. Some of the activities are training sessions in cooperation with Pusgrafin and ISO 9001-2000 certification/training funded by Provincial Government of Jakarta Capital Territory.
A non-profit group worthy of mention is Yayasan Lontar (the Lontar
Foundation). This non-profit was founded in 1987 by four leading Indonesian writers (Goenawan Mohamad, Sapardi Djoko Damono, Umar Kayam,
and Subagio Sastrowardoyo) and an American translator John H. McGlynn. Its main activity is the promotion of Indonesian art, especially literary
works, to Indonesians and the world community. It has published plenty
of masterpieces by Indonesian writers, e.g. the pre-war novel Shackles
(Armijn Pane, 1988), the poems Suddenly the Night (Sapardi Djoko Damono, 1988), Walking Westward in the Morning: Seven Contemproary Indonesian Poets anthology (1991), the plays Time Bomb and Cockroach Opera
(N. Riantiarno, 1992).

Industrial Centers and Important Cities
Publishing and printing are industries that centered in and around cities. To get a picture of
publishing activities in each region, we can turn to IKAPI. This organization is the association of
publishers in Indonesia and boasts 943 members. Membership and organization of IKAPI as of
2008 is as follow:

We could see the main regions in this industry. The following are assessment of the major cities and the regions around them. Each has their own characteristics and uniqueness in terms of
publishing and printing.
Jakarta
Jakarta is a provincial-level city and the national capital. It is the country’s administrative
center as well as its commercial center. When referring to Jakarta, one cannot separate Jakarta’s
administrative border from the surrounding conurbation known as Jabodetabek (Jakarta-BogorDepok-Tangerang-Bekasi). This Greater Jakarta area covers an area of 7,315 square km and population of 23.6 million. Although administratively separated in three separate provincial entities,
the areas are inter-related and interdependent.
The population is relatively highly educated and affluent. The culture is cosmopolitan, dynamic, creative, and forward-looking. In short, a good market for publication of every sort. In
Indonesia, Jakarta is the biggest market for publications, both books and periodicals.
The majority of publishing companies is based and has offices in Jakarta. The most visible
characteristic of those companies are strong capital base, modern operation, and national—
even international—outlook. Many among them are part of a larger media group that also operates other related business units, e.g. graphic design, advertising, television or radio broadcasts,
or distribution channels.
In total, Jakarta has IKAPI 378 members and 474 PPGI members. This is the largest concentration of publishing and printing businesses in Indonesia.

In addition to companies, this region is also a center of education and science, with leading
state universities (Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Negeri Jakarta) and private ones (e.g. Universitas Trisakti, Universitas Pelita Harapan, etc) located in this area.

Bandung and West Java Province
Surrounding Jakarta is the province of West Java. It is the largest province in terms of population and GDP, a magnet for thousands of immigrant workers from all over the country. It is also
the location of many of Indonesia’s leading universities, important government institutions and
Indonesia’s manufacturing base. This is also true for the publishing and printing sector. The province ranks second to Jakarta in IKAPI membership.
As the capital of West Java and its most developed city, Bandung has a
dominant role in publishing and printing industry. Universities produce many
skillful graduates as well as academic papers and literary works. Publications
from Bandung are usually characterized by their technology, science, modern,
and lifestyle themes.
Although advance in technology, Bandung is also fashionable. It has boutiques and factory outlets, thriving on the combination of Bandung’s good design schools and and garment industry. Architects, interior designers, and industrial designers also leave their marks in the daily lives of Bandung citizens.
Colonial era architecture sits comfortably with modern buildings. Computer
technology is a common thing. Everything in Bandung breathes creativity and
innovation, the brain and lifeblood of publishing.
The most famous example of publishers originating from Bandung are Mizan and Ganeca
Exact. Ganeca Exact is one of the largest publishers of school books. Its new 3000 sqm factory
east of Jakarta is one of the most advance printing facilities in Indonesia. While Mizan is the publisher of many good quality Islamic publications, its top best seller is a tetralogy of novels. Laskar
Pelangi (Rainbow Troops) is not just a literary phenomenon but also a movie box office of 2008.
The governments of West Java and Bandung understood that Bandung has a competitive
advantage in creative industries, especially where technology, fashion, and design come into
play. Bandung Creative City is a government initiative specifically aimed to develop and take
advantage of this competitiveness.
Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is unique among other regions in Indonesia. It is the only region in Indonesia
28
Indonesian Publishing
where its traditional royal family has a legal and practical power in politics and government administration. One implication of this continuity in politics and government is stability in cultural
development. The long Javanese literary tradition of its people has nothing but grew and spread
to Indonesian literature. However, in recent years, a different kind of development has emerged
in Yogyakarta, one that is not evident in other areas of the country. And that is the flourishing of
small and independent publishers.
After the New Order government was replaced, new media outlets have sprung out across
the nation, not least in publishing. After the old censorship and media control laws were revoked,
many people become writers and new publishing houses were set up. The growth in numbers
of writers is not surprising for Yogyakarta, long a center of creativity and culture. However, the
growth of number of publishers is different to other regions because many are independent
publishers, i.e. they are not members of IKAPI, the association of publishers. One unofficial estimate from IKAPI’s Yogyakarta branch predicts the numbers of publishers in Yogyakarta area
today at around 200 with only 47 of them are IKAPI member.
Yogyakarta’s publishers are also unique among other major centers in their style and genres.
As a cultural and education center, as well as a tourist destination—but not manufacturing, commercial or financial center—a large number of publications falls in the cultural category, e.g. poems in Javanese language, social studies, cultural history, art, etc.
The local government of Yogyakarta realized the passion of its citizens for art and culture and
give supports accordingly. The City of Yogyakarta is known throughout Indonesia as Student
City. This nickname derived from the fact that Yogyakarta is the home to many of Indonesia’s
prominent universities and has always been a city of choice for people to find good education.
Among the best known is Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM), this state university is one of the oldest,
largest, and respectable university in the country. In the early days of Indonesian Independence
the Sultan of Yogyakarta supported UGM to the full by allowing the university to use a large part
of his palace for curricular activities.
This kind of sponsorship to education and culture continues until today. One of the most recent and obvious example is the redevelopment
of shopping area in the center of
the city into Taman Pintar (meaning
Smart Park). This park was built with
education and intelligentsia in mind.
It is equipped with museums, children’s playground, and, most importantly to the discussion of this
book, a large center of books retailing. In this book center, one can find any titles of books, magazines,
copies of academic papers, and encyclopedias on the cheap. It is an obvious acknowledgement to the
needs of the city’s thousands of students, teachers, intellectuals, and literati.

Surabaya and East Java Province
Surabaya is the administrative capital of East Java province and Indonesia’s second city after
Jakarta in terms of population, GDP, technology, and cosmopolitanism. Surabaya is the location
of at least three important state universities, Indonesia’s second largest port, a manufacturing
center, and the gateway to eastern Indonesia, while East Java is Indonesia’s most populous province. Yet, its publishing industry lags behind Jakarta, Bandung, and Yogyakarta. IKAPI lists many
members from East Java, but they are mostly small players compared to those three cities.
The position of Surabaya is important because of two reasons: First, it is the gateway to eastern Indonesia. It is the eastern-most major city in the highly-industrialized Java Island. Many
products from other cities in Java would pass Surabaya’s Tanjung Perak port to reach eastern Indonesian cities in Sulawesi, Papua, etc. Because of this Surabaya houses many book distributors.
The second reason is its manufacturing prowess. East Java has a couple of large paper manufacturers and printers. More specifically, Tjiwi Kimia, perhaps Indonesia’s largest exporter of stationery and printing products is located about 30 km south-west of Surabaya. The movement
of materials and goods to and from this company would need to pass Surabaya’s Tanjung Perak
port. Because of this one company alone, Surabaya is listed at the top among book exporters in
the country.
Surabaya in itself has no shortage of intellectuals and aspiring authors, but unlike Yogyakarta,
Surabaya is a manufacturing and commercial hub, not cultural. Authors and writers from Surabaya and other East Java cities would use the service of publishing houses in other regions. What
Surabaya lack in publishing creativity, it covers with capabilities in printing. The two printing
companies that are listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange—Tjiwi Kimia and Jasuindo Tiga Perkasa—are based in East Java.

Publishing is big business. In terms of newspaper alone, World Association of Newspapers
estimates that the circulation of the world’s top 100 newspapers in 2005 exceeded 150 million,
with the smallest among those 100 sold about 600 thousands.
It is easy to predict that prosperous countries and societies with high literacy would dominate the list. The highly literate and affluent Japan taking 7 of the Top 10 spots, while 2 Chinese
newspapers were number 8 and 9. The only non-Asian newspaper in the Top 10 was Germany’s

The list is based on circulation, without separating domestic or overseas circulation. Countries with large number of affluent and educated population will top the list. The situation in
Indonesia should be good, given that Indonesia has over 200 million mostly literate inhabitants.
However, as the following table shows, that is not entirely true. This would mean of Indonesia has
huge potential for growth.

Global Market
Value of global market for publishing and printing is reasonably high. According to Publishing: Global Industry Guide, by the Ireland-based organization Research and Markets, global publishing market grew by 2.3% in 2007 to US$ 441 billion. If that number seems small, the report
also predicts that it will grow by another 12.2% to reach US$ 498.4 billion in 2012.
Based on an estimate by World Association of Newspapers, newspapers worldwide employ 2
million people and have 1.6 billion readers. The circulation of the world’s top 100 newspapers in
2005 was more than 150 million.

Indonesian Domestic Market
The value of Indonesian domestic market is more difficult to measure. However, some other
indicators can be used to see how big the market is. The information below is obtained from the
2007 Financial Statements of PT Toko Gunung Agung, Tbk. It is a publicly-listed company and one
of the largest chains of bookstores in Indonesia.

Also consider the fact that there are other large chains. Gramedia is the largest among them.
Its website lists 60 stores, twice that of Gunung Agung. There are other chains, including the
local ones—Togamas, Karisma, Aksara, Social Agency, etc.—as well as foreign ones—Periplus,
36

Kinokuniya, Maruzen, etc. Outlets of those bookstore chains can reach more than 150. Other
distribution channels are the thousands of independent bookstores, second-hand book sellers,
and, most importantly, direct-sales channels. A large number of publishers are producing school
books and most of those publishers had been selling direct to schools or government agencies,
and most students buy books in this manner.

The market for books in Indonesia is worth at least hundreds of millions of dollar, and still
growing rapidly. As a comparison, United Kingdom’s The Publishers Association and Office of
National Statistics reported that in 2007 the value of UK book market was estimated at GP 3.5
billion or around US$ 5 billion.
Indonesian Export Market
In early 20th century, Indonesia still ranked third after Singapore and Hong Kong among the
colonies in Asia. Today, Indonesia is no longer a major player in the world of printing and publishing. Even though it was once in the top tier of producers in Asia, its rank in various kinds of
printed matters has declined.
Although it may not be the dominant player, it is still a major player. Both the value and quantity of export has been rising steadily. Between 2002 and 2006, annual growth in dollar value has
risen in double digit. Even with the influx of foreign publications, Indonesian trade balance in
various categories of printed matters is positive.

Indonesian Source of Exports
Jakarta is the main gateway of export, followed by the province of East Java. The disparity between the two provinces and other regions are so striking. This can be explained by two factors:
First, the two main cities (Jakarta and Surabaya) are the centers of a large manufacturing region.
Second, the two cities operate Indonesia’s largest ports (Tanjung Priok in Jakarta and Tanjung
Perak in Surabaya). Many expotrs from nearby areas are channeled through these two ports.

HS 4901 : PRINTED BOOKS, BROCHURE, LEAFLETS & SIMILAR PRINTED MATTER
Shipment of this category mainly headed to Indonesia’s traditional trading partners: USA, the
Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Singapore. However, the appearance of Nepal on the top of the
list for HS 490199000 (Other brochure, leaflets and similar) is a sign that Indonesia’s has the potential to enter other markets. This is proven by the ability of JawaPos Group to receive an order
of around 50 million set of books from Afghanistan. Undoubtedly, complete data for 2008 will
show some surprises.
