Q. Do the articles have to be only about the matters in Asia?
A. We do intend to cover affairs that are related to or/ happened within Asia. However, since nothing is purely domestic in today’s society, what you think is worth sharing can also be submitted, regardless of the geographical area that the news is concerned.

Q. What is the political stance of this media, and should I follow it when writing a piece?
A. Since our writers are coming from different regions, different societies with different political regimes, we do not take single stance to follow in order for them to express their ideas freely. In addition, we intend to make this media to be a platform to exchange thoughts and have constructive discussions by using the methods of Constructive Journalism. Therefore, we ask contributing writers to involve at least 2 sides of the opinion, in which process our editorial team would be happy to help.
Q. How does it maintain the gatekeeping for articles?
A. Our editorial team makes sure that there is no discrimination in the article before it is published, including race, gender, sexuality, religion or beliefs. Also, if the article takes monolithic standpoint, radical or accusing tone for the entire article, it has the high possibility to be withheld to modify some of the content.
