Jawa Pos (lit. 'Java Post') is an Indonesian national daily newspaper based in Surabaya, East Java. Jawa Pos was launched by Suseno Tedjo or The Chung Shen on July 1, 1949. The parent company, "Jawa Pos Group", is owned by Indonesian media tycoon Dahlan Iskan. The newspaper's motto is Selalu Ada yang Baru! (There's always something new!). It is one of Indonesia's oldest newspapers. In 1982, when its circulation had declined to under 10,000 copies, the newspaper almost went bankrupt and its ownership changed to PT Grafiti Pers, the publisher of Tempo. After the acquisition, the circulation of Jawa Pos increased and by the 1990s, circulation reached 350,000 copies. During that time, Jawa Pos was one of the largest-selling newspapers in Indonesia.
