Pos Kota

Pos Kota was founded by the former Minister of Information during the New Order, Harmoko, and several partners, including John Surjawinata, Tahar S. Abiyasa, and Pansa Tampubolon.

[1] Before that, Harmoko made a survey in several places in Jakarta, such as Tanjung Priok, Jatinegara, Tanah Abang, and Senen.

The survey found that people want the news relating to the real problems in their daily lives.

In its development, Pos Kota also covered political issues in its news coverage.

In May–June 2005, Cakram magazine published the results of Nielsen Media Research survey, which puts Pos Kota as the Indonesia's biggest-selling newspaper, with a circulation of 600,000 and 2,551 readers, thus defeating the national daily Kompas.
