Asia/International Newspapers/IHT


MarketWatch: Oreskes tries to keep the IHT relevant

"I think the Trib has really taken its game up a notch in Asia," Brian Bremner, the Hong Kong-based Asia Regional Editor of BusinessWeek, pointed out. "The coverage is generally more original and enterprising than in years past," Bremner said, "when it was primarily a repository for foreign copy out of the New York Times and Washington Post, without a great deal of thought about what readers in Asia really wanted or needed."

"The IHT is printed at 30 sites and is sold in 180 countries. Its circulation has dipped from 269,000 in 2002 to about 241,000. According to the IHT, 157,000 are represented by its Atlantic edition and another 83,000 stem from the Asia/Pacific paper."
