Newsreel Asia
Newsreel Asia is a one-of-its-kind news platform that does storytelling in the form of docuseries and long-form video stories, and features news briefings and commentaries, with a focus on generating empathy and bringing common people’s needs to the centre of public discourse. We passionately cover a wide spectrum of issues from society and governance to democracy and economy while following a proactive and fiercely independent editorial policy.
We keep our ears to the ground. We remain focused on common people’s needs irrespective of what politicians, political parties and high officials are doing or saying to distract people’s attention away from issues that concern their wellbeing.
True to our tagline, “News is best told in stories,” we believe that narrative journalism generates empathetic and conscientious responses to local, national, regional and global affairs.
