Tony reports on politics and major policy issues as he covers the Indonesian presidency for The Jakarta Post. A major reporting assignment was the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, where he filed some of the Post's best stories combining straight news with human interest features. One of the paper's most promising and reliable journalists, he has also covered human rights issues, poverty alleviation programs, the collision between the interests of business and environmentalists, the Finance and Environment Ministries, police headquarters, and the House of Representatives. In addition, Hotland coaches new reporters and edits articles from correspondents. Strongly compassionate about his profession, Hotland says that his main objective for his fellowship is to bring home "a greater understanding of this key international gathering where the frameworks of international relations are set up, evaluated or revamped."
