Nikkei Asia, known as Nikkei Asian Review between 2013 and 2020,[1] is a major Japan-based English-language weekly news magazine focused on the Asian continent, although it also covers broader international developments. It is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan and was originally launched in 2013.[2]
Ownership
Nikkei Asia is owned by Nikkei, Inc., Japan’s largest financial news group and the publisher of the country’s leading business daily, The Nikkei. In July 2015, Nikkei, Inc. acquired the London-based Financial Times from Pearson PLC for £844 million, marking a significant expansion of its international media portfolio.[3]
Since the acquisition, editorial collaboration between Nikkei Asia and the Financial Times has deepened, including content sharing, joint reporting on major regional developments, and cross-posting of selected articles. Journalists from the Financial Times are occasionally seconded to Nikkei Asia as part of staff exchange programs aimed at promoting international best practices in financial and geopolitical journalism.
