An independent publishing house covering Asia in eight specialist titles.
Asia Press Corporation was founded in 2023 in Singapore by a group of veteran correspondents and editors who shared a single conviction: the most important business, technology, and policy stories of this decade would be reported from Asia, by reporters who live in it, and they deserved a publisher built for that work from the first day.
Today the group operates eight independent publications across technology, finance, geopolitics, climate, healthcare, industry, consumer affairs, and research. Each title runs under its own editor; the corporation provides infrastructure, legal protection, and a single set of editorial standards that every title signs.
We are privately and employee-held – no advertising network owns us, no platform pays for placement, and no state has a stake. Our complete revenue breakdown, governance structure, and ownership chart are published every quarter in our Transparency Report.
We hold ourselves to the principles set out in our Editorial Standards and our AI Disclosure policy. These are public documents – nothing internal-only, nothing aspirational. If we fall short of them, we say so on the record.
The newsroom is led by an editor with over two decades on the Asia beat.
