Asia Sentinel

Asia Sentinel is a web-based publication covering Asia founded in 2006 by a group of experienced editors and correspondents who formerly worked at prominent publications.

The site was founded in part as a counter to the trend by many regional publications of dumbing down and slashing their coverage of Asia.

Those involved in the launch included John Berthelsen, a former correspondent at the Asian Wall Street Journal who serves as Editor of Asia Sentinel; Philip Bowring, a former editor of the Far Eastern Economic review and columnist for the International Herald Tribune; A. Lin Neumann, the former Executive Editor of Hong Kong’s Standard newspaper; and Anthony Spaeth, a former Time Magazine Asia regional correspondent who left the Sentinel to work for Bloomberg.
