Post, Politico announce groundbreaking partnership to expand expert coverage of US-China ties
Collaboration will provide distinctive coverage on interplay between US and China, a relationship that impacts entire world, Post CEO Gary Liu says
A partnership was announced on Tuesday that will see the South China Morning Post team up with top American media company Politico to expand authoritative coverage of US-China relations.
The newsrooms of the two media organisations will share content and collaborate on reporting opportunities and events in the United States and Asia.
The Post has a fast-growing global readership and has been reporting on China and Asia for more than a century.
Politico, launched in 2007, has publications in Washington, New York and Brussels, and is highly regarded for its specialised coverage of politics and policy.
“The groundbreaking partnership represents a major alignment of two prominent news organisations with complementary geographical reach and editorial expertise, and also represents milestones in both Politico’s ambition to establish a deeper foothold in Asia and SCMP’s growth in the US market,” the two companies said in a press release.
Tammy Tam, editor-in-chief of the Post, said: “This content partnership represents a milestone for SCMP by expanding our coverage to new audiences, and allowing us to leverage our breadth and depth of expertise on China with Politico, one of the world’s most innovative and ambitious digital newsrooms.”
