Content

Asian Correspondent is a combination of news stories, analysis, and blog content, a format which has earned the website comparisons to the Huffington Post.[2] The site is divided in sections including News, Politics, Education, Media, Environment, Culture, Travel, and Technology.

Less than a year after its creation, in May 2010, Asian Correspondent hit the millionth visitor mark,[3]

In the media

Asian Correspondent is often quoted in other media. Qz.com has cited its content on multiple occasions, most recently in May 2014 for its coverage of the military coup[4] in Thailand, as well as in July 2013 for a story about bitcoin.[5]

gollark: I should improve that.
gollark: Oh hey, it is still PotatOS 6.2 TuberOS.
gollark: If your disk actually *does* have full potatOS source... then when you boot it up it would just autoupdate and overwrite that copy with the pastebin installer, if I had that feature turned on.
gollark: Most potatOS install disks just have `shell.run "pastebin run rm13ugfa"`, which downloads the latest copy off pastebin.
