Except for advertisement bulletins, there is no free newspaper in this city. But that doesn't mean you can't read newspapers for free. You can certainly read them for free at the libraries, hotels, office lobbies. But here, you can also read the newspaper on certain bulletin boards on
Jalan Asia Afrika street. These bulletin boards are located on the side walk in front of
Pikiran Rakyat newspaper office. And as you may have expected, the board only carries
Pikiran Rakyat newspaper.

West Java,
Banten, dan
DKI Jakarta,
