Association o f journalists is one o f the press freedom pillars. Up to 15 years after the collapsed o f New Order regime, there has been no comprehensive studies related to the performance o f journalist's association in maintaining the press freedom, professionalism o/j their members and engagement in public issue advocacies. This paper describes the results o f research on the portrait of journalist organizations in Yogyakarta, using qualitative method throughout the months ofMay-June 2015. This research found that two models: formal and nonp-formal associations existed, with the tendency o f different solidity and independence. In addition to the lack of membership loyalty and funding, internal ego o f the organization in carrying out the mission is a serious problem in the future. i
