The front page layout of the morning newspaper Tribun Jogja, as displayed in Tribun 1 2.jpg, features a prominent, full-color investigative infographic titled “Skema Penyaluran Air Limbah di DIY” (Wastewater Distribution Scheme in DIY). This editorial asset serves as the visual centerpiece for an exclusive report addressing a critical public health and environmental challenge within the Kartamantul urban agglomeration, which spans Yogyakarta City, Sleman, and Bantul. By placing this complex infrastructure breakdown directly alongside the primary headline, the publication bridges the gap between a massive IDR 53 billion government budget and tangible community awareness.

The detailed diagram inside infographic structurally contrasts standard, environmentally hazardous residential habits with the region’s official sanitation pipeline project. On the left, it maps out how unregulated household systems directly pollute local river ecosystems (Sungai). Conversely, the right side of the graphic traces a multi-tiered, properly managed pipeline system (Saluran Limbah yang Semestinya), illustrating the shared civic responsibilities between individual household connections (Saluran Rumah Tangga), city/district management (Saluran Servis), provincial oversight (Saluran Lateral), and central government infrastructure (Saluran Induk) that funnels waste to the IPAL Sewon treatment plant.

To make this municipal policy immediate and practical for everyday readers, the infographic integrates a transparent breakdown of the tiered monthly sanitation retribution fees based on household size. It clearly presents a structured, easy-to-read price index ranging from small families of 1–5 people paying Rp 4.500 per month, up to larger households of 11–15 people paying Rp 13.500 per month. Through this combination of technical mapping, clear economic data, and bold front-page placement, Tribun Jogja delivers an exemplary piece of public-interest visual journalism that transforms abstract public policy into actionable civic knowledge.
