Letter from the publisher: Bringing you the language of global business

The International Herald Tribune, the global edition of the New York Times, is rightly regarded as the gold standard of journalism. We are proud to inform our loyal readers that this venerated institution of journalism has embarked on an editorial co-branding partnership with The Jakarta Post.

The partnership, the only one of its kind in Indonesia, speaks volumes on the trust laid upon the Post. More importantly it is a recognition of the quality of readers that this newspaper represents. This cooperation further elevates our own aspirations to raise the quality of journalism in your favorite English-language daily. A burden of trust that the Post, with your support, is confident of carrying.

As an information source for the country’s decision makers, we recognize that today’s business is no longer a local endeavor alone. The demand for international business insight is a requisite evident to the community of the 21st century.

For that reason starting today, we bring you World Business with the International Herald Tribune. A four-page spread covering international business issues every weekday to enhance the Post’s own insight on local and regional business issues.

We believe this to be more than added value for a premier audience, it represents a way for the nation’s crème de la crème to partake in a conversation with their peers around the globe.
