Atmakusumah Astraatmadja (20 October 1938 – 2 January 2025) was an Indonesian journalist who was a recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay Award for his formative role in laying the institutional and professional foundations for a new era of press freedom in Indonesia.

[3] Atmakusumah's career as a cub reporter began after graduating from high school at the age of 19, working for Sunday Indonesia Raya in 1957.

[4] After the fall of Sukarno, in 1968, editor-in-chief Mochtar Lubis invited him to help republish Indonesia Raya newspaper.

However, in 1974, the paper was once again shut down, this time by Suharto's New Order government, due to its reporting on the Malari incident.

In 1999, after the fall of Suharto, Minister of Information Yunus Yosfiah appointed Atmakusumah as a government expert to assist in drafting the press bill and discussing it with members of parliament.
