==History==

===New Order era=== On 21 June 1994, under the New Order of President Suharto (1921–2008), Information Minister Harmoko (1939–2021) banned the publishing of ''Tempo'' magazine, along with two other weekly news magazines, ''Editor'' and ''DeTik'', citing them as a threat to national stability.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="McCargo2003">{{cite book|author=Duncan McCargo|title=Media and Politics in Pacific Asia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V4tjkf39YMgC&pg=PA77|year=2003|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=978-0-415-23374-3|pages=77–}}</ref> In response to the ban, a number of journalists established the Alliance of Independent Journalists (Aliansi Jurnalis Independen), while others established the ''Gatra'' magazine.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rosgani |first1=Oki |title=Majalah Gatra: Pamit dan Tak Terbit Lagi |url=https://www.tintahijau.com/literasi/majalah-gatra-pamit-dan-tak-terbit-lagi/ |website=TintaHijau.com |access-date=August 17, 2024 |date=July 25, 2024}}</ref> Publication of ''Tempo'' resumed following Suharto's departure from office in 1998.

===Post New Order era=== The magazine has continued its independent position, and on 27 June 2010 published a story about police corruption, based on leaked documents showing that six senior police officers had bank accounts containing millions of dollars, in one case more than US$10 million, on monthly salaries of around US$1600. A few days later (6 July) the magazine's editorial offices in Central Jakarta were firebombed by two black-clad men on a motorcycle. Little damage ensued but the attack was widely presumed to be linked to the police.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |url=http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2580&Itemid=202 |title=The Test of Indonesia's Press Freedom |website=Asia Sentinel |date=7 July 2010 |access-date=10 July 2010 |archive-date=26 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126044224/http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2580&Itemid=202 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In the early morning hours on the day the story broke, officials presumed to be connected with the police vainly tried to buy up all the copies of the offending story. Although they purchased 30,000 copies in Central Jakarta, no other areas were affected, and vendors doubled the price of the much-in-demand remainder. ''Tempo'' simply printed and supplied its distributors with 30,000 replacement copies. The action only added to the publicity surrounding the story.<ref name=":1" />

''Tempo''{{'}}s previous editor-in-chief is Wahyu Muryadi. Since November 2012, the position has been filled by Arif Zulkifli, the youngest editor in ''Tempo''{{'}}s history.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-10-24 |title=Tempo Magazine Replaces Editor-in-Chief Wahyu Muryadi |url=https://en.tempo.co/read/524348/tempo-magazine-replaces-editor-in-chief-wahyu-muryadi |access-date= |website=Tempo |language=en}}</ref>

''Tempo'' has evolved its internet presence with Tempo.co.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tempo.co/ |title=Berita Terkini, Berita Hari Ini Indonesia dan Dunia |website=Tempo.co |publisher=Tempo |access-date=17 April 2018 |archive-date=3 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120203045424/http://www.tempo.co/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Besides the weekly magazine, ''Tempo'' also publishes a daily newspaper, ''Koran Tempo''. It provides semi-investigative news about political and economic issues. The newspaper is only published in Indonesian but foreign readers can read other versions, including English, at Tempo.co. Its style of journalism is different from other Indonesian daily newspapers. ''Tempo'' provides news in the style of what they call 'the story behind the story'. So, what is served to the readers is not only current events, but also the story following and behind the news.

==Magazine== ''Tempo'' magazine is published in Indonesian. Starting from 12 September 2000, ''Tempo'' has also been published in English. Since its inception, the deputy editor-in-chief of the English edition of ''Tempo'' has been {{Interlanguage link|Yuli Ismartono|id}}, who during ''Tempo'''s ban was the vice-president of corporate communications for Freeport Indonesia.
