According to a Reuters Institute survey, Indonesian citizens' access to news has decreased over the past five years.

In 2021, 89% of Indonesian respondents used online media as a news source. However, this proportion dropped to 79% in 2025.

The same trend occurred with social media, television, and print media.

Here's a breakdown of the changes in the proportion of Indonesian respondents accessing news through various sources from 2021 to 2025:

1. Online media (including news websites/apps/podcasts and AI chatbots)

2021: 89%
2025: 79%

2. Social media

2021: 64%
2025: 57%

3. Television

2021: 58%
2025: 44%

4. Print media

2021: 20%
2025: 10%

This decline coincides with a decrease in public trust in news. In 2021, 39% of Indonesian respondents almost always trusted the news. This decreased to 36% in 2025.

A similar phenomenon appears to have occurred in other countries surveyed.

"In most countries we find traditional news media struggling to connect with much of the public, with declining engagement, low trust, and stagnating digital subscriptions," stated the Reuters Institute in Digital News Report 2025.

"An accelerating shift towards consumption via social media and video platforms is further diminishing the influence of ‘institutional journalism’ and supercharging a fragmented alternative media environment containing an array of podcasters, YouTubers, and TikTokers," they added.

The Reuters Institute obtained this data from surveys conducted annually at the beginning of each year from 2021 to 2025.

Approximately 2,000 Indonesian respondents participated each year, representing a diverse range of ages, genders, education levels, and domiciles.

However, this survey was conducted using online questionnaires, thus limiting its results.

"Some of our survey-based results will not match industry data, which are often based on different methodologies, such as web-tracking," the Reuters Institute stated in its report.
