Digital News Asia (DNA) is a two-year-old tech news publisher started by three experienced journalists and operating with an editorial team of five. The site positions itself as “old school” ICT journalism, emphasizing B2B and trade aspects of technology rather than consumer gadgetry. DNA says it is not a blog and aims to provide localized, in-depth perspectives across multiple markets. It has expanded beyond Malaysia to add staff in Singapore and intends to staff up in Indonesia, with Thailand and the Philippines on its radar. DNA plans to widen coverage into consumer/personal technology with a focus on how technologies change society and business, and it has a website revamp planned. The company declined to disclose traffic or revenue figures; investor IdeaRiverRun has agreed to respect editorial independence.
