YOGYAKARTA: The Yogya Post daily, which stopped publishing in 1992 because of financial difficulties, has resumed as a weekly with a circulation of 10,000.

The paper, which is published on Fridays, has six editors and twelve reporters, he was quoted by Antara as saying.

It has two competitors, Bernas and Kedaulatan Rakyat. Yogya Post will focus on regional, sport and education news.
