of THR-Asia.com reflects the increasingly
global and interconnected nature of the
entertainment community. This move further
advances our goal to be first in taking
the global pulse of the business of entertainment
– and serving readers and advertisers
across the world with the most relevant
information and insight delivered on every
platform.”
HollywoodReporter.com
editor Melissa Grego says, “THR-Asia
is the newest innovation among The Hollywood
Reporter’s growing suite of editorial
products designed to super-serve entertainment
business readers around the world.
“As
we expand our coverage of the international
entertainment community, we are pleased
to offer our audiences in Asia with a source
of information designed specifically for
them.”
The
new THR-Asia.com site features breaking
news, reviews, analyses, video, charts and
polls from Asia and around the world. It
includes contributions from across the Asian
region as well as Asia-related coverage
from The Reporter’s Los Angeles

The
home page offers content relevant to Asia
at large. From there, users can navigate
to locally-targeted pages with content focusing
on seven Asian regions: China, Hong Kong,
India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand.
THR-Asia.com
also features Q&As with influential
Asian entertainment figures. Current interviews
available on the new site include prolific
