	Foreign Correspondents' Club Hong Kong - The Correspondent - April-May 2002
		It was on such a simple and basic premise as this that Asiaweek was founded in 1975 and on which it based much of the claim it made in its mission statement.
		Little Asiaweek must have seemed a progressively smaller cog in the giant empire, and one that hardly could be called a serious profit centre.
		It would be the exact opposite of the Asiaweek that just died: heavy on commentary, politics and, of course, Asian-owned.

	H-Net* Hadi Awang is Asia's 7th powerful man
		According to Asiaweek's Richard Hornik, the "sea change" in Asia has shaped the selection process for this year's ranking of 50 personalities "we believe are changing not just the face of Asia but its mind and soul".
		Asiaweek note that "opponents paint Hadi 53, as a dangerous zealot determined, they say, to hide women behind veils and to ban alcohol, karaoke, gambling and everything else that smacks of decadent fun".
		Asiaweek view them as the "thorn in the side of of the establishment" in a Malaysia where "the truth hurts, the mainstream media rarely publish articles critical of the powers that be".

	AsianWeek.com: Business: Asiaweek Magazine Closes
		Asiaweek said the issue released on Nov. 29 would be its last, leaving Asia with just one big regional newsweekly, the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER), which recently saw its editorial staff merged with the daily Asian Wall Street Journal for a loss of 36 editorial jobs.
		Asiaweek was launched in 1975 and the company had attempted earlier this year to rejuvenate the magazine with a new focus on business news.
		Asiaweek ended with a circulation of 120,000 but was closed along with other Time Inc. magazines that have been hit by hard times in the global advertising industry.

	AsiaWeek's Power 50 puts reformers in the spotlight
		Now according to Asiaweek, if last year was the year of the falang/gweilo/Mat Salleh, and in Soeharto's time it was the year of the authoritarian politician, this year it is the year of the Reformer.
		Asiaweek seems also to agree with the Rat's Indonesia election analysis, in nominating Abdurrahman Wahid, who we know more affectionately by the more friendly and less tongue-twisting name of Gus Dur, as the most powerful man in Indonesia right now.
		Here is Asiaweek's index to the special issue, including the methodology and editorial as well as the full detailed rankings.

	The Burning of Asiaweek - Kagyu Asia News
		Copies of Asiaweek with the cover story "Lama Wars" published late last year are said to have been torched.
		The reason was my questioning of the circumstances surrounding the recognition of Urgyen Trinley as the reincarnation of the Karmapa and leader of the Karma Kagyu sect, and the Dalai Lama's role in the affair.
		Asiaweek was not the first to publish the story of the controversy, laying bare the "political" interference in the centuries-old Tibetan practice of searching for the reincarnations of high lamas.

	Asiaweek practices Crony Journalism
		There was a time in the world when one could rely upon credible media to give two sides of the same story.
		The most recent Asiaweek's coverage of the Malaysian story is a case in point.
		Unless Asiaweek wants to move its headquarters to Malaysia and become a corporate citizen here, please do not overstay your welcome when you are only a guest.

		The popular weekly Asiaweek has come under heavy fire from Sri Lankans over a feature 'Asia's Power Fifty' in its website in which LTTE leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran is included at number forty nine position.
		The protest note states: 'We are writing in regard to the article you have on the 50 most powerful people in Asia on your website, and to protest against the choice of the known terrorist Vellupillai Prabhakaran as one of the 50 most powerful people in Asia.
		But in spite of all this, those in charge of Asiaweek have chosen to nominate him as one of the 50 most powerful people in Asia.

	Karmapa News 9/25-12/16
		Asiaweek's analysis assumes that the Tibetan people themselves are unaware of these conflicts and have taken no steps to address them.
		The Asiaweek article focuses on the political implications of being a major reincarnate lama living in Chinese controlled Tibet, suggesting that because the Karmapa returned to his traditional seat in Tibet, he capitulated to China.
		Asiaweek presents a distinctly contrasting tale of politics and manipulation, and argues that the Tibetan people have been duped into supporting His Holiness Karmapa.

	Indian universities don't figure in Asiaweek charts
		NEW DELHI, May 19: Indian universities were conspicuous by their absence in Asiaweek's survey of the region's best multi-disciplinary institutions, carried in its latest issue.
		But as Asiaweek pointed out, the fact that three Indian IITs, China's Huazhong University of Science & Technology, and Pakistan's Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering figured in it indicates that developing countries can build world-class universities if they put their minds to it.
		The magazine also quoted cynics who maintained that most of these schools were primarily instituted to service the defence requirements of their respective countries.

	Tamil Tigers and America's Founding Fathers - Sachi Sri Kantha
		Well, ten years ago in the Readers Forum pages of the Asiaweek magazine (Hongkong), I enthusiastically took part in a debate with an anonymous correspondent (about whose identity I was not informed; and he could have been an anti-LTTE Tamil or a Sinhalese or a Muslim) on this issue.
		Value judgement or not, in this acrimonious exchange of words, which lasted for nearly 8 months in the Asiaweek magazine, I persisted in putting forth my point of view in approximately 200-words despite heavy odds (especially mangling of submitted text by the editors and the uneasiness of having a debate with an anonymous guy!).
		But as long as the Asiaweek was interested in hearing my view I didn't give up, since I felt that at least I could educate the editors of Asiaweek and some unbiassed readers.

	archive: [BJP News]: Vajpayee heads Asiaweek's 'Dream Cabinet' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		TitlVajpayee heads Asiaweek's 'Dream Cabinet' Author: Publication: Rediff DatSeptember 28, 2000 As the prime minister gets ready for what is a crucial knee surgery, Asiaweek has nominated him as the head of its 'Dream Cabinet'.
		As well, its population has just passed the one-billion mark.' Despite these handicaps, what motivated Asiaweek to nominate Vajpayee was that the 'serene and honest (so far as we can tell) Vajpayee has run this behemoth with extraordinary restraint and astuteness'.
		Add his sheer political moxie and PR skills and he shows himself to be the perfect partner for Vajpayee', the duo forming what Asiaweek calls 'an exquisite yin-and-yang power-complementary duo from Asia's two largest nations -- and that would augur well for the cabinet's stability'.

	Torn and frayed in Manila: Far Eastern Economic Review, RIP
		An excellent account of the Asiaweek debacle by a friend and former senior editor of the magazine can be found here.
		It was mismanagement, from the top to the bottom--I wrote a couple of book reviews for it in the late 1990s and was amazed at the incompetence with which the staff dealt with authors(including losing a signed copy of a book that I lent them for an illustration).
		The failure of FEER (and Asiaweek before it)was as much about commercial realities as it was about the quality of journalism.
