Initial Research
As a foreign journalist covering a story on international soil, initial research about the news topic, individuals and key characters in your report will go a long way in shaping your story. Our Fixer Indonesia team can help you get a good head start with free initial research.
Fact Checking
Despite their importance for foreign journalists working remotely on a news piece, online platforms cannot always be relied upon. Which is why you need the help of our local Indonesian fixers to help you get to your facts right. Collaborating with our sources spread all over the country, we can easily check facts with reliable local media which will help your reporting.
Local Access to Contributors
Reliable contributors who are willing to speak to the press are important parts of every reporting. For foreign journalists relating to locals to get facts out of them might be difficult given the language barrier and other factors. With local fixers, you can get access to relevant places, book important interviews and speak to contributors even in remote communities for a complete news piece
Production Support
We are always on the ground to assist directly with production and provide all the needed technical and non-technical support.
Logistics
Fixer Indonesia will handle all your logistics needs through the help of our local partners and suppliers. We will get your production supplies and gear at an affordable fee and work with you to keep your work within schedule.
