Coconuts Jakarta Features

Although Coconuts is known for offering quick takes on the latest and craziest news, we also endeavor provide more in-depth looks at Jakarta through feature stories. Whether examining a new trend on social media, taking a closer look at one of the capital’s intriguing subcultures or offering you a guide on how to better enjoy life in the capital, our features aim to show our readers a side of the city they’ve never seen before. For our longform features, our in-staff writers and talented contributors do deep dives into the most unique aspects of living in the Big Durian. We also rely on contributors for regular columns that offer their fresh and juicy takes on the latest trends taking over Jakarta. As opinionated as our regular news can be, we can get really politically incorrect in our opinion pieces which tackle the toughest and most controversial issues facing Jakarta and Indonesia. We also offer up interviews with some of the capital’s most intriguing figures, from creators to leaders to analysts, that go way beyond the surface. We also regularly feature photo essays showing off some of the best, most amazing work from the incredibly talented photographers working in Indonesia.
