Bali Post Media Group

It is led by ABG Satria Naradha, the son of Ketut Nadha, and has diversified businesses and interests in the Bali media industry.

As a result, newspaper names and management changed, many of which had existed since the Dutch colonial era in Indonesia.

In 1946, one of the editorial team members from Bali Shimbun Newspaper, Ketut Nadha, established a library and bookstore to preserve and produce articles to document the history of Indonesia's independence movement.

Two years later, on 16 August 1948, Ketut Nadha published this work in magazine format under the title Suara Indonesia, with the help of two of his colleagues, I Gusti Putu and Made Arka Sarya Udaya.

Starting in 1972, the BPMG established a daily publication schedule with a license from the PT Bali Press (0359/PER/SK/DIR PP/SIT/71, dated 2 September 1971).

The media group also became part of the press company union, Serikat Penerbit Surat Kabar.

The collapse of the New Order, entering the Reformation Era, brought the emergence of Undang-Undang Pokok Pers No.

Nadha's only son, ABG Satria Naradha, led BPMG, serving as its current Vice Chief Editor and the Director of Bali Post Corporation.

During his decade of leadership, Naradha developed a media conglomeration to reach more diverse age groups.

Suluh Indonesia[2] was previously featured as an insert in Bisnis Jakarta newspaper, but it is now sold separately.

While in the tourism segment, BPMG published weekly English tabloids, Bali Travel News.

The variety of programs on Global Radio Kinijani is a mostly interactive dialogue with the audience about a particular topic, including discussions related to politics, economics, culture, and public service.

Bali Post claimed to circulate 100,000 copies per day in the advertising offers.

However, on 20 August 2003, SWA magazine countered that statement, attesting that Bali Post's daily circulation was 90,000 copies or Rp 64.8 billion per year.

The protestors believed that Bali Post no longer stood as an ideal mass media representation.
