A survey by the TIFA Foundation and Populix shows that 67% of journalist respondents admitted to having experienced violence during the first year of the administration of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, 2025.

By type, the most common form of violence experienced by journalists was the prohibition of reporting, with 96% of journalist respondents encountering it.

This practice includes attempts to stop publication, withdraw content, and pressure editorial teams not to report on certain issues.

"The prohibition of reporting directly weakens journalistic independence and restricts the public's right to information," wrote the TIFA Foundation and Populix in the 2025 Journalist Safety Index report—Self-Censorship as a Structural Problem: A Critical Review of the Prabowo-Gibran Administration.

The next form of violence experienced by journalists was the prohibition of coverage, with a proportion of 62%.

The TIFA Foundation noted that this prohibition indicates the persistence of restrictions on journalists' access to certain events or locations, particularly on sensitive issues such as public policy.

Here are the forms of violence experienced by journalists in Indonesia during the first year of the Prabowo-Gibran administration:

Prohibition of reporting: 96%
Prohibition of coverage: 62%
Verbal harassment (terror, intimidation, abusive language): 8%
Physical violence: 3%
Digital attacks (hacking, accessing personal data, etc.): 2%
Deletion of coverage: 2%
Death threats: 1%
Legal prosecution: 1%
Destruction/confiscation of equipment: 1%
Sexual harassment/violence (physical or verbal/speech): 1%

The TIFA Foundation conducted this survey in collaboration with Populix, involving 655 active journalist respondents.

The majority of respondents were field journalists (80%), followed by editors/editors (12%), managing editors (8%), chief editors (6%), and others (2%).

The respondents were distributed across Java Island (47%), Sumatra (18%), Sulawesi (11%), Kalimantan (8%), Bali-Nusa Tenggara (7%), Papua (5%), and Maluku-North Maluku (4%).

Data collection was conducted in 2025 using two methods, namely quantitative and qualitative. In addition to the survey, they also collected secondary data on violence against journalists compiled by the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) Indonesia, as well as conducted in-depth interviews with a number of stakeholders in the media field.
