CHANNEL NEWSASIA

"Established in March 1999, Channel NewsAsia positions itself as an Asian TV News channel that provides news and information on global developments with Asian perspectives." Channel NewsAsia touts itself as an objective, balanced Pan-Asian news source for professionals in Asia.

Written by Asians for Asians, Channel NewsAsia delivers free, personalized news alerts directly to your email inbox. Pick an e-mail topic, format, date, time and frequency of the alerts and whether you would like just headlines or headlines with summaries.

There is no cost except for the very personal and lengthy registration form (one researchers would like to see completed by all their major prospects).
