The year of 1994 was marking in the newspaper as an important milestone with the launching of a project nickname "Go International". Five global companies providing database services from three different parts of the world have signed agreement with The Jakarta Post to make the paper accessible 24 hours a day to tens of thousands of their subscribers around the world.
Under these agreement, The Post is transmitted every morning in digital format via modem to five main computers belongs to Financial Times Information in New York (NY, USA), Reuters in London (UK), Dialog in Palo Alto (CA, USA), ……… in …….., and Newslink in Singapore, thus making the Post the first newspaper in this country to go international without the heavy burden of transportation cost.
Financial Times Information is a German based company set up by the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce. It has installed a computerised database in New York, USA. It provides information services for thousands of German companies in Europe, North America and Asia. The Agreement to provide The Post on daily basis to this database service was signed on May 1994 in Jakarta.
A similar deal was signed on July 1, 1994 with Reuters Limited, a world-renowned information services company based in London. Reuters operates computerised services for retrieval of information around the world, collated and stored on its databases which are also available to Reuters third party distributors. By transmitting The Jakarta Post daily to Reuters main database, the paper is also accessible through similar equipment hooked up to other database services across Europe and North America such as Data Star, FT Profile, Global Scan, Maid Mead Data and BT Telecom Gold.
The agreement with Dialog Information Services, Inc., was signed in Mid July 1994, and brings The Jakarta Post greater exposure across United States of America. Dialog is Palo Alto base company owned by the Knight Rider group, which controls a large network of media companies across the USA. It has been serving users since 1972 and now has more than 450 databases from a broad scope of disciplines.

The "go international" project is a direct response to The Jakarta Post's mission to bring forward an Indonesian perspective on national and global issues amid the deluge of Western viewpoints dominating the global flow of information. It stands up to the expectations raised by the commitment of The Post to become "The Journal of Indonesia Today". It is simultaneously a strategic step to challenging the future of blurring lines separating the up to now distinctly different media types providing news and entertainment to the global audience.
