What We Cover
Jewish Times Asia is dedicated to telling the stories of Jewish life, enterprise, and creativity across the Asian continent. We focus on four core categories that reflect the breadth of our community and interests: Community Spotlight, Business News, Arts, and Festivals. From emerging startups and heritage preservation to galleries, film, music, and holiday celebrations, we bring readers timely, human-centered stories with regional depth and global relevance.
How We Work
Our editorial process prioritizes clarity, accuracy, and relevance. We plan coverage around regional calendars, diaspora milestones, and market shifts, publishing a balance of breaking news, interviews, profiles, explainers, and features. Each piece is reviewed for factual accuracy and editorial coherence before publication. We consult primary sources, community organizations, subject-matter experts, and official records where available. When stories evolve, we update them with clearly marked corrections or notes so readers always have the most current information. Our headlines, images, and summaries are optimized for fast loading and clear presentation, helping readers discover what matters quickly and confidently.
Our Mission
We aim to connect Jewish communities across Asia and around the world through rigorous journalism and uplifting storytelling. Jewish Times Asia serves as a bridge—celebrating tradition while exploring innovation—so readers can better understand how culture, business, and community life intersect across borders. We champion coverage that is respectful, inclusive, and forward-looking.
Editorial Standards
We adhere to strict standards of accuracy, fairness, and transparency. Reporters and editors independently verify claims, attribute information, and distinguish clearly between news, analysis, and opinion. We avoid conflicts of interest, label sponsored content, and comply with applicable media and advertising guidelines. Our commitment to integrity includes a clear fact-checking process and an open corrections policy.
