Asian Correspondent is an English-language Internet newspaper and aggregated blog website covering 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Launched in October 2009 by the Hybrid News Group and the brainchild of managing director and former GDS International CEO James Craven [1], Asian Correspondent combines syndicated news content from the Associated Press, articles from established bloggers, correspondents from across the region and user contributions in its news delivery format [2]. The website covers politics, economics, new media, green and society issues, among other subjects.
