How the Four Tiers Work
Tier is about reach and publisher type, not about which one is worth buying. A tier three regional newsroom often beats a tier one national title for a launch in that province.
National Flagship
The titles most Indonesians can name. Highest authority, strictest editorial gate, longest lead time.
National and Industry
National reach in a defined lane: business, technology, automotive, lifestyle. Often the best value for a specific audience.
Regional and Vertical
Provincial newsrooms and single-subject titles. Where most press-council verified outlets sit, and where local launches land hardest.
Guest Post and Niche
Not press. Niche sites, contributor platforms and single-subject blogs that accept paid articles. Useful for link work, labelled so nobody mistakes them for newsrooms.
Not Sure Which Outlets Fit?
