I took the title of this opinion piece from a book I wrote with F. Harianto Santoso (Kompas R&D) in 2016. The title refers to the legacy of idealism contained within the journalistic ideas and works of Jakob Oetama, who is 88 years old today.

It represents the many commentaries of various styles that have become classics and cited by many, their original meaning often defined, developed or parodied. It represents what Jakob Oetama has achieved over 65 years (from his time as reporter at the Penabur weekly in the 1960s) in launching and developing Kompas with P.K. Ojong, which was followed by other businesses under the Kompas Gramedia group.
