Today marks another evolution in the digital engagement of The Jakarta Post community. For too long the media industry has been arrested in a dichotomy between print and digital. One or the other!

We do not believe it is an '€œeither or'€ choice. The two are complementary to each other. The digital world is a medium that offers a broader reach with more diverse content. No matter how impressive a portal, it still requires quality content, in this case good journalism.

Journalism is the foundation on which society thrives. And to that end we at the Post remain unwaveringly committed to it.

The Jakarta Post Mobile app launched today is part of our efforts to extend the reach of journalism and provide our community with a handheld companion to keep abreast of local and international developments.

Available for iOS and Android devices, the app also offers travel features on Indonesia. In the coming months we will be adding new features to the app, including exclusive Asia News and a Where To Go section.

But what differentiates Jakarta Post Mobile from other apps is the JSnap feature that offers additional multimedia content on the most interesting stories of the day.

Just look for the JSnap logo on stories and advertisements to see unique content by snapping with your mobile device.

We are proud that in the last six months we have continued to make leaps in bringing our community to the digital fore. After the revamp of our website thejakartapost.com with a host of new accompanying sites, the launch of our epaper and now being the first publication in the country to adopt this type of augmented reality daily.

Join us on our digital journey. Download, get the latest news and snap away...
