Shanghai, China, June 3, 2016 /Xinwengao.com/ - Pitch.Asia, Asia’s leader in connecting journalists with industry experts, has created a new licensing partnership with Xinwengao (Xinwengao.com) for the use of Xinwengao’s database of more than 30,000 media records.

The partnership leverages and connects Xinwengao’s focus over the past decade on media monitoring, press release distribution, and media database building with Pitch.Asia‘s services across Asia. Pitch.Asia will use the database to help update its own records and assist industry experts and public relations firms in reaching out to a broader group of reporters, editors, and social media influencers inside China.

“Our China Media Database services have been sculpted by over a decade of use by our clients, and we continue to maintain a high level of integrity for this service,” says Rose Gao, Media Manager at Xinwengao. “Expanding licensing to more companies like Pitch.Asia ensures we continue to connect with every record in our system to ensure freshness and availability. Pitch.Asia already has a large journalist database for Greater China, and we will complement this for a win-win partnership.”

The Chinese online news and media sector has witnessed many business movements and much growth in the past few year as Alibaba has purchased partial or entire stakes in Shanghai-based China Business Network, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post; and video-sharing website Youku Tudou. And U.S.-based Time Magazine just announced the purchase of CCI Asia-Pacific Ltd., the Hong Kong-based publisher of Fortune China. Forbes.com was also sold to a Hong Kong-based investor group nearly two years ago.

Pitch.Asia currently provides a news dashboard covering business, political, and social news from across Asia from Afghanistan to Japan and down to Malaysia; online job boards for journalists; a query service for reporters to seek comments from registered industry experts; and online forums for journalists to exchange knowledge. Utilization of Xinwengao’s database is also assisting Pitch.Asia in its beta testing of a full Chinese-language media service that will be soon rolled out.
