Asia Times Online (abbreviated as ATol) is a bilingual English‒Chinese, Internet-based newspaper covering geopolitics, politics, economics and business "from an Asian perspective"[1]. Asia Times Online was created in 1999 and sees itself as the successor to Sondhi Limthongkul's Asia Times that closed in 1997.[1]

[edit] Creation
Asia Times Online was created early in 1999 as a successor in "publication policy and editorial outlook" to the Hong Kong/Bangkok-based daily printed newspaper Asia Times, owned by Thai media mogul and leader of the People's Alliance for Democracy Sondhi Limthongkul, that closed in mid 1997,[1] a week before the devaluation of Thailand's baht kicked off the Asian financial crisis.[citation needed] Asia Times Online is incorporated and registered in Hong Kong[1] and is owned by Sondhi Limthongkul.[2] Its revenues come from advertisements, an advertisement-free subscription service, and from selling content.[1]
[edit] Readership
Asia Times claims to have about 100,000 unique readers every day[citation needed] and to be one of Asia's most popular news sites[dubious ]. The New York Times described Asia Times Online as "one of the most prominent of the [English-language] regional publications" covering Asia.[2]
