Diversity Policy

Indonesia’s craft is diverse; our newsroom must be too. We commit to fair representation, accessible language, and equitable opportunity.

1. Coverage commitment

• We cover artisans and communities across Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and Papua — not just major cities.
• Gender, age, disability, religion, and ethnicity do not determine who gets quoted. Expertise does.
• We avoid stereotypes in headlines, images and examples; we prefer precise, person-first language.

2. Hiring & team

• Open roles publish clear criteria; outreach includes craft schools, disability communities, and outer-region networks.
• Interview panels are diverse; accommodations are provided on request.
• Pay bands are documented and reviewed annually for equity.

3. Language & accessibility

• We write in plain Indonesian and English — Bahasa Indonesia baku yang jernih and clear English — max 65ch, alt text for every image, captions for every video.
• All images require width, height and alt; color is never the sole signal.

4. Sourcing

Source lists are audited quarterly for balance. If a beat is repeatedly one-sided, editors commission stories to fill the gap and note limitations where balance was not achievable.

5. Feedback

Tell us who we miss: hello@tasgroup.id. We log suggestions, respond within 7 days, and publish an annual diversity note.

6. Accountability

The Editor-in-Chief owns this policy. Progress is reviewed annually and reflected in the Masthead and public note.
