Media coverage and ethical tourism in Jakarta
This media archive documents how journalists, documentary teams and public storytellers engage with Hidden Jakarta and the kampung communities we partner with. We share these publications to provide transparency, context and a broader record of how community-based tourism is represented in public conversation.
Media interest often starts with tourism, but quickly expands to urban inequality, local leadership and community resilience. By preserving these stories in one place, visitors, researchers and partners can trace the long-term narrative of our work, not just isolated moments.
If you are a journalist planning a Jakarta field story, this page also helps you understand our standards before requesting access. We prioritize resident dignity, informed consent and community benefit in every media collaboration.
