NewsSearch (Asia)

Founded in 2006 in Nusajaya, Malaysia, NewsSearch (Asia) began as a media clippings agency at a time when the volume of news and public conversation was already accelerating. The founders recognized that businesses and communications professionals were struggling to keep up with the sheer pace and complexity of information. What started as a straightforward clipping service has since evolved into a comprehensive media monitoring and intelligence provider. Today, NewsSearch (Asia) helps organizations cut through the noise to identify what truly matters in the media landscape.
