The purpose of this research is to find out how news mapping about Smart City indicators in Indonesia. The method used is a qualitative research method by relying on data sources - secondary data. These sources include official news media reports for the 2019-2023 period. The results of this study show that the news site that narrates the Smartest City indicators is Republika news site. The most narrated Smart City indicator is the indicator of Smart Mobility, where the news that appears most often is about the development of internet networks in Indonesia. Smart Mobility is the most dominant indicator reported on the five news sites because in Indonesia itself, the internet network, digitalization is something that is experiencing significant development. With the rise of digitalization in Indonesia itself as a form of implementation of Smart City Indicators, Smart Mobility, of course, the government must begin to be able to implement other Smart City Indicators, such as Smart Environment, Smart Economy, Smart Living, Smart Governance and Smart People. There needs to be a policy from the Government of Indonesia itself to maximize the Smart City indicators.
