Asian Correspondent is an English language news website launched in October 2009 by Hybrid (media company) that combines articles by professional journalists, bloggers and news wire content in one website.[1] Asian Correspondent is the online partner for the Associated Press in Asia and provides breaking news, opinion pieces, and analysis for the Asia-Pacific region.
Content
Asian Correspondent is a combination of news stories, analysis, and blog content, a format which has earned the website comparisons to the Huffington Post.[2] The site is divided in sections including News, Politics, Education, Media, Environment, Culture, Travel, and Technology.
Less than a year after its creation, in May 2010, Asian Correspondent hit the millionth visitor mark,[3]
In the media
Asian Correspondent is often quoted in other media. Qz.com has cited its content on multiple occasions, most recently in May 2014 for its coverage of the military coup[4] in Thailand, as well as in July 2013 for a story about bitcoin.[5]
