A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Dear Readers,

Today is a special day for The Jakarta Post and we want to share this with you. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary, a milestone in the history of any newspaper. To mark this important event, we thought we would relive the day we hit the streets -- April 25, 1983 -- by providing this cover, the front page of that very first edition.

As you can see from the stories that ran that day, the nation has come a long way. And we, as a newspaper, have also come a long way. Thank you to the nation, for making it possible for the Post to report on its journey, and thank you to all our readers, past and present, as well as advertisers, news agencies and all other stakeholders, for the continued loyalty and support that makes this newspaper as relevant today as it was 25 years ago.
