Reporting Asean

Reporting Asean is a homegrown, independent venue for the discussion and analysis of news and issues around regionalism, and for storytelling that highlights voices and views from within Southeast Asia.

It encourages greater editorial investment by the media in the story of regionalism. This includes covering the idea of an Asean community, one that goes far beyond the regional association of states that is ASEAN. Started in 2014, the series also follows conversations around the news media and journalism in the region.
