BIO
Wahyu is the editor in chief of Tempo Magazine, Indonesia. In 2015, he led the
Panama Papers reporting in Indonesia, the collaborative cross borders
investigative project initiated by the International Consortium of Investigative
Journalists (ICIJ).

In that project, Tempo managed to expose links between several prominent

names in Indonesian business and political landscape with the hidden offshore
financial structure in Panama. That story was soon followed by other leaks from
ICIJ, such as Paradise Papers, Implant Files and Mauritius Leaks.

Now, Wahyu is developing collaborative investigative projects with several media

in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. He is also instrumental in fellowship programs
for journalists and students across Indonesia to work as investigative reporters in
Tempo’s newsroom.

In 2017, with several other editor-in-chiefs of independent media in Indonesia,

Wahyu initiated IndonesiaLeaks.id, a platform for whistle-blowers so they can
securely send documents or insights of possible hidden scandals to newsrooms
across the country.

Realizing Indonesian general election is under attack by massive

mis/disinformation campaign, in 2018, with the support of Google, Mafindo, and
several other newsrooms, Wahyu involved in the creation of CekFakta.com, a
collaborative fact-checking initiative.

Wahyu is also on the board of the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI)

Indonesia where he is in charge of partnership and international relations. He is
also the Secretary General of Indonesia Cyber Media Association (AMSI) a newly
formed organization for digital media in Indonesia.

Wahyu believes in journalism as a conversation between the public and the

newsroom. That is why he is always excited to experiment with different forms of
citizen reporting (crowdsourcing) in various digital platforms to find a better way
for journalism to serve the public interest in the digital age.
