Latitudes Media Foundation

Latitudes Media was founded in 2009 to stimulate young journalists from Indonesia and The Netherlands to write and discuss about subjects that matter both societies. ‘Write’ can be explained in broad terms: traditional copywriting, blogging, reports, travel stories. But also: videos, pictures and every other modern tool that is available.

The webportal Latitudes.nu is the first product. Other websites, magazines, events, gadgets etc. will follow. If you have a great idea that matches with the Latitudes concept, please contact Latitudes Media Foundation at info@latitudes.nu
