AsiaNet,
a consortium of news organisations in the Asia Pacific region,
has launched a website - http://www.asianetnews.net. The
aim is to provide a regional resource primarily for media,
corporate, government and public relations professionals.
It
features daily content drawn from Asia Pulse, the real time
news service, and from the most prominent news agencies
of the region. Full text, unedited news releases from worldwide
clients - AsiaNet's core business - are also stored on the
site. Many of them are translated versions.
This
is an exclusive agreement among the region's top news agencies.
It brings together all prominent news points from India
/ Pakistan in the west, Japan/China/South Korea in the north
and Australia/New Zealand in the south-east, ensuring pinpoint
delivery - by wire, fax and email - to general and specialist
media in 34 countries and regions of the Asia Pacific.
The
website, highlighting the service and generating immediate
news content, profiles all the AsiaNet consortium countries,
and is also linked to affiliate news organisations in the
United States, Canada and UK/Europe.
The
AsiaNet consortium is: AAP (Australia), Antara (Indonesia),
Bernama (Malaysia), Infoquest (Thailand), Kyodo JBN (Japan),
NCN (Hong Kong), NZPA (New Zealand), PNA (Philippines),
PPI (Pakistan), PTI (India), UNB (Bangladesh), VNA (Vietnam),
