Inside Indonesia

Inside Indonesia was set up in Melbourne by the Indonesian Resources and Information Program (IRIP) in 1983. This was a time when the mainstream media in Australia included very little information about Indonesia. The diverse group of academics and activists involved in the establishment of Inside Indonesia wanted to provide an antidote to that situation. In particular, they wanted to provide information about the growing numbers of people and organisations in Indonesia who were involved in attempts to bring about social and political change amidst the very repressive conditions at that time under the Suharto regime. (Click on the following links for articles about the history of Inside Indonesia…‘Twenty candles for Inside Indonesia ’, and ’Looking back …’ both by Gerry van Klinken.)
In its print form, Inside Indonesia was published quarterly until March 2007. Throughout those years, Inside Indonesia provided a unique source of high quality and original reportage and analysis about issues in Indonesia which were rarely covered by other media sources. All of our past editions since we first went online (in 1996) are archived on this website. In 2007, Inside Indonesia made the transition to an internet-only format.
