# KarirAman editorial policy

Written by KarirAman editorial team Approved by [Kaiser Khan](https://kariraman.com/en/authors/kaiser-khan/) (editor), 8 October 2026 Updated 8 October 2026

How KarirAman writes and checks content: AI-assisted drafts, every fact checked against official sources, editor approval, review dates, corrections.

## Summary

- Every fact about law, money, process, statistics and official channels needs a source that we opened ourselves, with the date recorded.
- A page is published only after it passes every automated check and an editor approves it. A named expert reviewer can be added, but never replaces those checks.
- Drafts are prepared with AI assistance and always flagged. Every fact is checked critically against its official source before the page goes to the editor.
- We take no money from employers, agencies, platforms or advertisers, so our content cannot be bought.

## What standard does KarirAman content meet?

Every KarirAman page must help its reader complete one real task, such as checking a job ad, finding the minimum wage or understanding the legal routes to work abroad. The answer comes on the first screen and is then explained in sections headed by questions. We do not write to a word count.

Every page also needs something original from KarirAman: verified data with its sample size, a dated status check against an official source, a working tool, a practitioner interview given with consent, a redacted real scam example, or a verification walkthrough we carried out ourselves. A page that adds nothing beyond other websites is not ready to publish.

## Which sources do we use?

KarirAman relies on primary sources first: regulations from peraturan.go.id and the JDIH legal databases, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) data, and the websites and announcements of Kemnaker, KP2MI, OJK, BPJS and the governments of destination countries. We record every source with its address, the date we opened it and a note on what we read.

We use news reports only for facts not yet available from a primary source, label them "official statement via media" and check them again against the official source. Third-party sources are labelled as such. Facts we cannot confirm are not shown at all. For high-risk pages, every fact goes into a claims ledger with the article or page it came from.

## How is content reviewed before publication?

Every page starts as a draft prepared with AI assistance. The draft is then checked critically, deliberately looking for mistakes: every fact about law, money, process, statistics and official channels is matched to its official source and recorded in a claims ledger with the article or page it comes from. A fact we cannot confirm is removed, not guessed.

Automated checks then reject a page that cites an unverified source, types a money figure into the text, has an empty claims ledger on a high-risk topic, or breaks our writing rules. A page that passes every check is approved for publication by Kaiser Khan (editor). A page that fails stays a draft. An approval covers the exact text: if the text changes, the page goes back to draft until it is approved again.

An editor's approval is not an expert review, and we never call it one. A named expert reviewer, such as a labour-law practitioner or a migrant-worker advocate, can be added to a page. They are named only when that review really took place, and are shown next to the editor.

English pages are localisations with the same facts and the same warnings, approved only together with their Indonesian page. When the Indonesian page changes, the English page also goes back to draft until it is approved again. KarirAman never uses fake profiles, pen names or AI-generated photos for writers or reviewers.

## How often is content updated?

How often we check depends on how fast the information changes:

- Provincial and district minimum wages (UMP and UMK): updated after each governor's decree, usually from late November to December.
- Routes to work abroad: status monitored regularly and fully re-verified at least every 120 days; pages past that limit are not indexed.
- Scam patterns: reviewed every three months, and straight away after a new official warning.
- Official numbers and channels: checked every month; unverified channels are not shown.
- Workers' rights and regulations: updated whenever the law changes.
- Role guides: reviewed every six months.

Every page also records its next review date. A page past that date joins the re-check queue, and pages about fast-moving topics, such as the new labour law or government programmes, get an earlier date.

The "Updated" date changes only when the content changes in a meaningful way, not just because a page was checked again.

## How does KarirAman use AI?

KarirAman uses AI to help with research, outlines and first drafts. Every AI-assisted page is flagged, and a human editor checks the content, title, description, structured data and image alt text before publication. Approved pages carry the line "Prepared with AI assistance. Checked against official sources and approved for publication by" followed by the editor's name and the approval date.

AI is never used to create people, quotes, reviews, testimonials, photos of people, vacancies or figures. Images on KarirAman are icons and illustrations, not stock photos of people.

## How do we write about money, law and scams?

Wage, salary and cost figures are never typed into the text. They come from data files and appear with their unit, period, source and date. Legal pages cite the article they rely on and carry the note "Not legal advice".

On the cost of working abroad we always follow the same order: Law 18/2017 (UU 18/2017) Article 30(1) says Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) cannot be charged placement costs; Permen P2MI 17/2025 makes the employer bear placement costs and lets the worker be charged only for costs written and itemised in the placement agreement (Perjanjian Penempatan); any other request for money is a red flag.

We never call a company a scammer without an official list, such as the list of sanctioned placement agencies (P3MI) on SISKOP2MI or the Satgas PASTI list of illegal entities, or a court decision. Scammers' phone numbers, links, QR codes and bank account numbers are always redacted. We never present discriminatory criteria, such as an age limit with no objective reason, as normal, in line with Ministry of Manpower circular SE Menaker M/6/HK.04/V/2025.

Terms we use: PMI for Indonesian migrant workers (not the old terms TKI or TKW), KP2MI, OPP (pre-departure orientation), E-KPMI, UMP and UMK with their year, and "loker bodong" alongside "fake job ad".

## How does KarirAman stay independent?

KarirAman is a free initiative of Kode Nirlaba, an independent initiative that is not a registered foundation. We take no money from employers, placement agencies, job platforms, advertisers or anyone we write about. There are no ads, affiliate links, sponsored content or paid listings.

Some pages link to other websites connected to Kode Nirlaba's founder, such as CariTalent, PanduanHewan, Panduan Warga and The Cast Index. Those links appear only where they genuinely help, are limited in number, and always come with a note explaining the connection.

## What happens when we get something wrong?

Send the page link, the part that is wrong and the correct official source to the editors through the [contact page](https://kariraman.com/en/contact/). We check the report against primary sources. If we were wrong, we fix the page, update its date and record what changed and why on the [corrections page](https://kariraman.com/en/corrections/).

Organisations or people mentioned on our pages can ask for a right of reply in the same way. We review any response backed by evidence, then publish it or use it to correct the page.

## Frequently asked questions

**Does KarirAman use AI to write?**

Yes, to help with research, outlines and first drafts. Every AI-assisted page is flagged, every fact is matched to its official source, and the page is published only after a human editor approves it, including the title, description, structured data and image alt text. AI is never used to create people, quotes, reviews or photos of people.

**Why doesn't KarirAman name scam companies?**

We only name a company as a problem when an official government list says so, such as the list of sanctioned placement agencies (P3MI) on SISKOP2MI, or when a court has ruled. Otherwise we explain the scam pattern so you can recognise it, without harming companies whose names scammers have stolen.

**How do I ask for a correction or a right of reply?**

Send the page link, the part that is wrong and the correct official source to the editors through the contact page. We check it against primary sources, fix the page if needed, and log every correction on the corrections page.
