This study discusses the life journey of Rusli Marzuki Saria as a journalist and poet in West Sumatra during the period 1969–2018. Biographical studies of regional press figures who contribute to the development of literature remain limited, so their roles in strengthening local literacy and preserving cultural identity have not been widely revealed. This research aims to describe the contribution of Rusli Marzuki Saria in strengthening the press and literary sphere, which supports the sustainability of Minangkabau culture. This study employs a qualitative approach with a narrative design, using biographical interviews, document analysis, and archival research as data collection techniques. The results show that Rusli Marzuki Saria was actively engaged as a journalist and maintained a cultural column in Harian Haluan, while also producing poetry containing local values. His role as a journalist strengthened the mass media as a space for public literacy, whereas his role as a poet helped preserve the cultural identity of the Minangkabau through literary works. These findings illustrate the role and experiences of the figure in a narrative manner, making them relevant to the applied qualitative approach and narrative research design. The study also finds that the presence of Rusli Marzuki Saria influenced the emergence of young writers in West Sumatra. These findings are expected to enrich the literature on biographical studies of Indonesian press and literary figures and serve as an educational reference for young generations in understanding the role of media and literature in building local culture.
