Ownership & Funding
Transparency about who owns and funds a news organisation is a cornerstone of trust. Here is ours.
Ownership
AsiaDailyPost is published by AsiaDailyPost Media, an independent private entity. The publication is fully owned by its founder and editorial team. There are no controlling shareholders, no parent media conglomerate, and no government or political-party stake.
Funding
AsiaDailyPost is funded by:
- Advertising — Display ads served via Google AdSense and direct partnerships. Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers.
- Reader memberships (coming soon) — Optional paid memberships unlock premium newsletters, an ad-free experience, and exclusive events.
- Licensing & syndication — We license selected stories to other publishers and translation partners.
We do not accept funding from political parties, foreign governments, or sources that demand editorial influence.
Editorial independence
The editorial team operates under a published charter (see Editorial Policy) that gives final editorial authority to the Editor-in-Chief, independent of business operations. Advertisers do not receive previews of unpublished editorial content.
Sponsored content
Sponsored content is permitted but must be clearly labelled “Sponsored” or “Partner Content” at the top of the article, on every preview, and in the URL slug. Sponsored content is never included in our RSS feed, sitemap-news.xml, or Google News submissions.
Conflicts of interest
Any editor, writer or contributor who has a personal, financial, or familial stake in a subject must disclose it to the editor-in-chief before reporting. Disclosures are footnoted in the published article.
