Number 01 – 06 refer to the following letter

Dear Readers,

We would like to start this message by thanking you for your continued support of The
Jakarta Post. Your support is something we will not forget as we celebrate our Silver Jubilee
this year. We know we would never have come this far, becoming the leading independent
English language newspaper in Indonesia, without you.
Over the past few years, we have expanded the newspaper to 24 pages everyday,
including our Sunday edition. In 2007, we launched the Weekender magazine, which is
currently a monthly, and we started the Youthspeak tabloid in October as part of our
newspaper in Education program, in which copies of The Jakarta Post and the tabloid are
distributed to school for use in English language instruction.
In recent years, however, the costs of newsprint, printing and delivery have gone up
tremendously. We have refrained from passing the cost increases on to our readers for as
long as possible. The current subscription and retail rates came into effect in October 2005.
This takes us to the sad but inevitable news that The Jakarta Post has to increase the
prices we charge for subscription and street sales.
Beginning March 1, the monthly subscription rate will increase from 90,000 to 105,000
for reader in Greater Jakarta and from 99,000 to 112,500 for readers in the rest of
Indonesia, and retail price will go up from 5,000 to 5,500 per copy.
We assure you that we will continue to improve our products and services, and we will
provide you added value for your money. We know from our long experience that we must
work hard to earn and maintain your support and loyalty. We aim to work even harder as we
celebrate our silver Jubilee with you.
--The publisher
