 Asia
Times Online, http://www.atimes.com and http://www.asiatimes-chinese.com
, is a quality Internet-only publication that reports and examines
geopolitical, political, economic and business issues. We look at these issues
from an Asian perspective; this distinguishes us from the mainstream
English-language media, whose reporting on Asian matters is generally by
Westerners, for Westerners. Our Chinese-language edition presents our articles
to Chinese readers around the world.
We are served by more than 30
correspondents and contributors in 13 Asian countries, the US, and Europe.
Additional content is provided by news services and renowned think tank and
investment analysts and academics.
Asia Times Online was founded at the beginning of 1999
and is incorporated and duly registered in Hong Kong. It derives its revenues
from advertising and the resale of original content to other publications and
news services.
Historically, in our publication policy and editorial
outlook, we are the successor of Asia Times, the Hong Kong/Bangkok-based daily
print newspaper founded in 1995 and associated with the Manager Media Group,
which had to cease publication in the summer of 1997 as a result of the Asian
financial crisis. Like its predecessor, Asia Times Online gives its readers
worldwide an overview of Asian news events, looking behind the headlines that
are the stuff of the news agencies and networks.
We reach a global readership that is rapidly increasing. Readers are
people of influence - investors, company executives, politicians, diplomats,
academics, analysts, journalists - who need to know about Asian affairs. One of
our aims is to become a "must read" for Westerners and Asians who do business
with each other.
