Example :

Ki Hajar Dewantara was born with the name Raden Mas (R.M.) Suwardi Suryaningrat. He was born on Thursday Legi, May 2, 1889 in Yogyakarta. Ki Hajar Dewantara comes from a noble family of Puro Pakualaman Yogyakarta.

His father is Kanjeng Pangeran Ario (K.P.A.) Suryaningrat and his mother is Raden Ayu (R.A.) Sandiah. K.P.A. Suryaningrat himself is the son of Paku Alam III. Ki Hajar Dewantara's nickname when he was a child was Denmas Jemblung (bloated) because when he was a baby his stomach was distended.

Being a noble family, made him get an adequate education. Ki Hajar Dewantara attended Europeesche Lagere School (ELS), a Dutch-owned elementary school in the village of Bintaran, Yogyakarta. After graduating from ELS, Suwardi Suryaningrat entered Kweekschool, a teacher's school in Yogyakarta.

Ki Hajar Dewantara also received an offer of a medical school scholarship. Precisely at a Javanese medical school in Jakarta called STOVIA (School Fit Opleiding Van Indische Artsen). Unfortunately 4 months later his scholarship was revoked because Ki Hajar's health was not good.

A few days before the revocation, he also received a message from the Director of STOVIA. This was because Ki Hajar Dewantara was considered to have raised radicalism against the Dutch East Indies Government. This radicalism is said to have been spread through a poem he brought at a meeting.

    

After graduating from STOVIA, Ki Hajar Dewantara received a Special Certificate of Proficiency in Dutch. Ki Hajar also became a journalist at the Javanese language newspaper "Sedyotomo", then the Dutch language newspaper "Midden Java in Yogyakarta, and "De Express" in Bandung.

Thanks to his good writings, in 1912 he was asked to take care of the Daily "De Express" Bandung by Dr. E.F.E. Douwes Dekker. His first writing was entitled "Indonesian Independence". He even became a member of the Daily Editor of "Kaoem Muda" Bandung, "Oetoesan Indies" Surabaya, "Tjahaja Timoer" Malang. Likewise, in 1912, Ki Hajar Dewantara accepted an offer from HOS.

The peak of Suwardi Suryaningrat's career in journalism was when he wrote Als ik eens Nederlander was on Buletin Bumi. This bulletin printed 5,000 copies and became famous among the public. This is because the writings in the form of criticism are considered very scathing. Until finally Ki Hajar Dewantara, dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, and Dr. E.F.E. Douwes Dekker was arrested and then imprisoned.

The world of journalism that Suwardi Suryaningrat is engaged in has made his social circle wider and his political views more developed. He can express the thoughts and problems of his people through writings in various newspapers, magazines, and brochures and give light to his people who are in darkness.
