Clear, Flowing, Enlightening with Tirto.id

Tirto.id translates the vision of enlightening as the necessity to present news that is clear, enlightening, insightful, contextual, in-depth, and factual.Amidst the competitive currents of the media industry, Tirto.id exists as clear water, flowing and enlightening at the same time. That philosophy will be our face as we navigate the days ahead.We take water as our philosophical foundation, as did Thales, one of the seven Greek philosophers, who popularized “water is the source of life.” Modern science proves that all life on earth needs water. Humans are no exception. Water fills more than half of our organs.The element of water also symbolizes positivity. Its nature is refreshing. It moves to fill empty containers. It is even adaptive, blending with other substances. That is roughly the inspiration for the name tirto.id.Like water, Tirto.id aspires to have flowing and purifying qualities. Its writings should flow through reading spaces, enjoyable in any atmosphere, refreshing, and nourishing the mind and the mind. Therefore, Tirto must continue to purify with its precise journalism concept supplemented by valid data.Thus, the term “flowing and purifying” is important to reaffirm as a manifesto. Tirto.id’s journey as a media platform has not been easy; it has been tested by various challenges. However, Tirto.id continues to adapt, improve, and maintain a consistent approach.Moreover, Tirto.id exists amidst the challenges of media disruption, such as the current era, when the essence of the media/press as a ” 

clearing house ” is being uprooted by the social media (medsos) epidemic. The impact is that people are beginning to doubt the validity of news data, finding it difficult to distinguish between factual news, falling into a quagmire of misconceptions, issues of hoaxes and fabricated news, and failing to understand what misinformation and disinformation are. This issue has emerged recently. In the past, when discussing onlinemedia, people focused on three strategies: content, technology, and distribution. It is in this distribution context that the problem arises. Social media was considered the single most effective medium for distributing news content. While this is a double-edged sword, recent research has shown that social media can also be dangerous. This impact was tested through a Global Reuters Institute poll. The results showed a shift in audience behavior patterns , with people beginning to migrate from social media to chat apps. Despite this, many people still use social media for news research, but further discussions usually take place on messaging apps. They argue that the freedom and privacy offered on messaging apps are better than on social media. Another problem is that social media is also prone to endless debates and even persecution due to its overly open nature. Take doxing, for example, or the unauthorized sharing of personal information. Furthermore, social media is also considered vulnerable to the spread of hoaxes and

fake .So has Tirto changed? Not completely. But it has adapted, yes. For example, in terms of spirit, it is no longer solely focused on names and historical romance (regarding the great name of Tirto Adhi Soerjo), but rather on a vision and ambition that are not simple, which need to be redefined as a media industry.On the one hand, Tirto.id still agrees that talking about online media is not only about speed, but also requires accuracy, orderly verification, and the ability to “clear things up.” However, more than that, at the same time—speaking of works—it also wants to set targets in their portions, perfecting methodologies, and building technology slowly in line with Tirto.id’s vision and mission as a media industry.Therefore, going forward, Tirto is solidifying its steps hand in hand with readers, together sifting through the various anxieties caused by the increasingly worrying disruption of 

onlinemedia. But even so, Tirto.id remains above and for all groups, and is non-partisan. Tirto.id also remains subject to the code of ethics of 

the Indonesian Press Council . For this reason, readers can enjoy Tirto.id reports on
