The ABU News Department brings together broadcasters to support credible, responsible, and forward-looking journalism across the Asia-Pacific. In an era of rapid change and increasing pressure on newsrooms, it provides a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development.
ABU News leads the Global News Forum (GNF), its flagship event, which convenes news leaders, editors, and journalists to explore critical issues, exchange insights, and shape the future of journalism in an evolving media landscape.
A key pillar of its work is Asiavision (AVN), the ABU’s news exchange. Delivering more than 16,000 stories each year, Asiavision offers a steady stream of breaking news, headline coverage, and in-depth content, alongside human interest and cultural stories from across the region. Available to subscribing members, it serves as a vital resource for broadcasters seeking timely, diverse, and high-quality news content.
At its core, the ABU News Department is committed to strengthening journalism, ensuring its members are equipped to deliver trusted news that informs, engages, and serves communities across the region.Sports Committee Vice Chair 1:
