De Java-Bode was a newspaper that was published from 1852 to 1957 in Batavia in the Dutch East Indies.
Under editor-in-chief Conrad Busken Huet, the Java-Bode became a daily newspaper as of December 1, 1869.
From March 1942 to 1949 publication was suspended due to the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies.
[3] From 1932 onwards, under Henri Zentgraaff, who remained as editor-in-chief until 1939, the course even became very "right-wing", which was heavily criticized by the writer E. du Perron.
