The TIFA Foundation's report shows that the majority, or 72%, of journalist respondents in Indonesia will receive insurance in the form of BPJS Employment by 2025. This is followed by 48% of respondents who receive BPJS Health insurance.

"This indicates that most companies use mandatory protection mechanisms to meet the basic needs of financial and health security for journalists," wrote the TIFA Foundation in the report "Journalist Safety Index 2025 - Self-censorship as a Structural Problem: Critical Notes on One Year of Prabowo-Gibran."

In addition, 27% of respondents have life insurance, 6% have private health insurance, and 21% do not have insurance at all. The research team also highlighted the vulnerability of those who are not protected by insurance.

"This indicates economic vulnerability for some media workers, especially those who face high job risks or depend on irregular income," wrote the TIFA Foundation.

Among those who have private insurance, only 59% of them cover all family members. While the remaining 41% only receive it for themselves.

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

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

The respondents are spread 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 in-depth interviews with a number of stakeholders in the media field.
