Djaja magazine was a weekly magazine in the 1960s, with its editorial office located at Jln. Pintu Besar Selatan 86-88, Jakarta-Kota. The magazine was owned by the Jakarta Special Capital Region Government and had been managed since 1962. During the reign of President Soekarno, Djaja magazine had no competitors, but since the New Order came to power, when various magazines and other publications began to gain popularity, this magazine experienced a decline in popularity. One of the main reasons was that Djaja served as a public relations tool for the government. Because of this, Djaja employees took the initiative to write a letter to DKI Governor Ali Sadikin requesting that the magazine be privatized. As a result, the management of Djaja was transferred to the Jaya Raya Foundation, which was under the control of the DKI Jakarta Government. A deputy editor-in-chief of Djaja, Kho Tiang Boen (Harjono Trisnadi), later became one of the founders of Tempo magazine.
