A survey by the TIFA Foundation and Populix shows that 67% of all journalists surveyed in Indonesia have been involved in risky reporting in 2025.

Risky reporting refers to journalistic activities that involve physical, psychological, or legal danger to journalists.

By type, reporting on demonstrations is the most common risky activity undertaken in the past year, experienced by 67% of respondents.

Other risky reporting activities undertaken by journalists include reporting in conflict zones (60%), crime reporting (59%), reporting in natural disaster areas (47%), and others as shown in the chart.

"These findings indicate that the journalist safety system is still partial and not fully integrated," wrote the TIFA Foundation and Populix in the report "2025 Journalist Safety Index - Self-Censorship as a Structural Problem: A Critical Note on the First Year of Prabowo-Gibran".

According to the TIFA Foundation, a more comprehensive approach is needed through strengthening media internal policies, enhancing journalists' individual capacity, and standardizing health protocols.

"These efforts are essential prerequisites to ensure sustainable protection for journalists in the face of an increasingly complex spectrum of risks," wrote the TIFA Foundation.

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%).

Respondents were 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.
