About Journalists Asia

A professional cross-border association dedicated to ethical investigative reporting, reporter physical and digital safety, and combating disinformation across Asian newsrooms.

Founding Mandate

Journalists Asia was founded to provide an independent, non-governmental sanctuary and collaboration hub for Asian journalists, editors, and photojournalists. In a rapidly shifting digital landscape, the platform defends factual objectivity, investigative depth, and cross-border solidarity.

Strict Non-Governmental & Civil Character

Journalists Asia is a civil professional association. It is not a statutory press regulator, does not issue state-sanctioned press permits, and holds no governmental regulatory authority. It operates with profound respect for freedom of expression and the rule of law across Asian jurisdictions.
