Asia Sentinel
The Asia Sentinel is an online blog focused on news, business, arts and culture in Asia. The site was launched in August 2006 in Hong Kong, and its assets were transferred to a U.S. registered company in 2017.

History 
The Asia Sentinel was founded in Hong Kong in August 2006 by four journalists from the United Kingdom and the United States who were based in Asia. The editor-in-chief, John Berthelsen, was formerly a correspondent with The Wall Street Journal Asia, as well as the Newsweek correspondent in Vietnam and managing editor of the Hong Kong Standard. Co-founder Philip Bowring was formerly the editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review and a former columnist for the International Herald Tribune. Executive Editor A. Lin Neumann, a reporter, was formerly executive editor of The Standard and also represented the Committee to Protect Journalists in Asia. Neumann left the Asia Sentinel in 2012. The fourth founder, Anthony Spaeth, was previously a Time Asia regional correspondent, and left the Asia Sentinel shortly after its founding to work for Bloomberg.

In 2017, the publication's parent company in Hong Kong ceased operations, and assets were transferred to a new company, registered in California, that owns all newly written stories. In 2023, access to the Asia Sentinel was blocked in Singapore after it failed to comply with a POFMA order issued by the Singapore Government.
