Indonesia Enforces Publisher Rights To Protect Journalism

Indonesia's Deputy Minister Nezar Patria said at the 2026 PWI Retreat that rapid AI advances have reshaped journalism and driven a "zero-click" trend, reducing digital media traffic by more than 40 percent. He cited Reuters Institute and Oxford research, warned that tech firms use journalistic content to train models, and urged stronger copyright protections, Presidential Regulation No. 32/2024, and a National AI Roadmap.
Key Points
- 1Warns that AI-driven platforms reduce editorial control and cause zero-click consumption, cutting traffic by over 40%.
- 2Highlights technology firms training models on journalism content, raising copyright and fair-compensation concerns for publishers.
- 3Calls for stronger copyright, Publisher Rights regulation, and a national AI roadmap to support sustainable journalism.
Scoring Rationale
Official regulatory action increases credibility and national significance, but novelty and scope are limited to the journalism sector.
