Indonesia Formulates New Copyright Policy for Journalistic Works
What happened
The Ministry of Communication is currently formulating a new copyright policy for Indonesia. This policy recognizes journalistic works as copyrightable material, which is considered a significant step toward protecting journalistic output. However, the specific mechanism for royalty distribution, including the potential establishment of a Collective Management Organization, has not been decided and will be addressed in implementing regulations.

Why it matters
Recognizing journalistic works as copyrightable material is intended to leverage the economic value of such works. The policy serves as a foundational step before technical regulations are established, affecting how media output is monetized within Indonesia.
