<h2 id="digital-transformation-for-news-media">Digital Transformation for News Media</h2>
<p>93% of adults in 18 advanced economies own and use a smartphone. In the digital era, the decline of the print news industry is old news, while online platforms for news and media consumption are already a part of our everyday lives. For companies originating as traditional newspapers, adaptation via digital transformation seems inevitable if they are to continue existing. </p>
<p><strong><u>What is digital transformation?</u></strong>
Digital transformation refers to the process of <strong>using digital technologies</strong> to create new or better business models, culture, and customer experiences to meet the demands of the ever-changing market.</p>
<p>With the inclusion of Video-On-Demand (VOD), live streaming, discussion forums, and news publications about various topics, online news platforms now offer news updates in various accessible forms to entice and serve their readers. Yet, as every news platform goes virtual, how can one stand out from the crowd? </p>
<h2 id="introduction-to-tribun-network-and-tribunnews">Introduction to Tribun Network and Tribunnews</h2>
<p><img src="https://assets.hicloud.sg/gringotts/tribun_network_logo_0447fc75eb.png" alt="tribun network logo.png"></p>
<p>The Tribun Network is the leading online media platform in Indonesia, managed by PT Tribun Digital Online under the parent company of Kompas Gramedia.</p>
<p>First appearing as the Tribun Kaltim Daily Newspaper, the Tribun brand was introduced in 2003 by the Kompas Gramedia Group of Regional Newspapers in East Kalimantan and soon spread across the country. </p>
<p><img src="https://assets.hicloud.sg/gringotts/Peta_Tribun_4885dfbc53.png" alt="Peta Tribun.png"></p>
<p>With more than 1,500 journalists from 34 provinces, the Tribun Network is widespread across Indonesia today, with a total of 66 news portals and 22 newspapers in the country.</p>
<p><img src="https://assets.hicloud.sg/gringotts/Frame_18303_75f3845cad.png" alt="Frame 18303.png"></p>
<p>Their tagline is Mata Lokal Menjangkau Indonesia, translated as <strong>Local Perspective, National Reach.</strong></p>
<p>Priding themselves on being <strong>&#39;Hyperlocal&#39;</strong>, they maintain a close presence to readers among the different provinces of Indonesia to remain relevant to their needs, and by delivering a local perspective, preserve regional values and perspectives throughout the country. </p>
<p>Tribunnews has earned many awards and accolades, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Numerous awards from the 2020 Indonesia Print Media Awards and 2020 Indonesia Young Readers Awards</li>
<li>2020 Best Online Media Award from the Indonesia Ministry of Education and Culture</li>
<li>2021 Adam Malik Award for Best Online Media</li>
</ul>
<p>Tribun Network has remained current in the age of digital disruption. In 2010, they went online with the release of their website <a href="https://bit.ly/4bl7kiz">Tribunnews.com</a></p>
<p>Tribun took the next step in digital evolution in 2023, releasing their Super App TribunX on August 18th.</p>

<h2 id="what-is-a-super-app">What is a Super App?</h2>
<p>Apart from engaging real-time news content, cloud technology enables a publisher to offer what their competition does not, such as diversified products and personalized services on the next frontier of the app: the <strong>Super App.</strong></p>
<p>A superapp is like a building made of Lego blocks - one massive app made out of modular components (miniapps) that the user can use and remove as needed. First coined to describe Tencent Cloud&#39;s <a href="https://bit.ly/3UlWanA">WeChat</a> app, it serves as a one-stop location for daily needs, offering features such as food and grocery delivery, e-commerce, ride-hailing, digital payments, social media consumption, financial services, and many more. A few other super app examples include Uber, Revolut, Grab, and Tata Neu.</p>
<p><img src="https://assets.hicloud.sg/gringotts/Online_News_Media_Vs_the_Super_App_14b5023295.png" alt="Online News Media Vs the Super App.png"></p>
<p>Instead of requiring users to juggle multiple separate platforms like print newspapers, web browser sites, video platforms and mobile apps, the super app allows news media companies to offer both news updates and diverse services to their users in one convenient app, ensuring that they never need to go somewhere else to meet their needs.</p>
<p>TribunX is a one-stop platform that combines the news reporting Tribunnews is best known for, including the other Tribun Network platforms, namely their video news platform <a href="https://bit.ly/42tv8gb">Tribun Video</a> and e-commerce platform for second-hand goods <a href="https://bit.ly/3OpPrp2">Tribun Jual Beli</a>.</p>
<h2 id="tribunx-super-app">TribunX Super App</h2>
<p>Tribun Experience - TribunX with the tagline “Menghadirkan Lokal, Menjadi Indonesia” translated to <strong>“Presenting Local, Becoming Indonesia”</strong> is born to deliver a thorough local experience across Indonesia. </p>
<p>As a super app, TribunX is so much more than a news source. It is a platform to access all sorts of video content, entertainment options, and social networking opportunities instantly delivered to the user, with convenience at its core.</p>
