What the grant funds

1. Project Background, Goals, and Objectives With over 270 million people and one of the world’s largest social media user bases, Indonesia’s citizens consume media content from a wide array of traditional and digital sources. As the country continues to expand its regional leadership role, Indonesian journalists must develop their capacity to report accurately and comprehensively on critical issues, including democratic governance, foreign policy, transnational security threats, economic development, and emerging technologies. For purposes of this solicitation, activities that involve identifying false or misleading information should focus on objectively verifiable factual claims, coordinated information manipulation, or manipulated digital media (including deepfakes and coordinated inauthentic behavior). Applicant should not classify policy disagreements, political viewpoints, or criticism of governments as misinformation or disinformation solely because they differ from official positions. This program addresses Indonesia’s growing demand for professional capacity building in journalism across multiple strategic domains. By equipping journalists with advanced skills in media literacy, fact-checking, data journalism, policy analysis, and critical thinking on issues that shape Indonesia’s future and role in the Indo-Pacific region, the United States strengthens the capacity of journalists to deliver accurate and in-depth coverage on domestic, regional, and international issues. The program amplifies credible local voices, expands audience access to independent sources of information, and empowers the public to better navigate Indonesia’s increasingly complex information environment. Primary Audience: Journalists from print, broadcast, and digital media working across Indonesia Newsroom editors and managers News content creators Participants must be Indonesian citizens or residents Secondary Audience: University students majoring in mass communication University students who are part of campus media Indonesian media organizations and journalism associations Project Goal Strengthen the capacity of Indonesian journalists to deliver accurate, in-depth, and credible coverage of democratic governance, security issues, economic affairs, and emerging technologies that empowers an informed citizenry.
