From Readers
"Great – and welcome – initiative by Nithin highlighting what’s happening in #Asia that is often diluted by noise from elsewhere."
— Rajnesh Singh, Internet Society
“This little gem of journalism covers all of Asia and gives insights into the countries' politics, culture, current events and much more. I found Asia Undercovered by chance and haven't found anything as good as Asia Uncovered for stories on Asia. It has greatly increased my appreciation and understanding of Asia.”
— Eileen, subscriber since 2018.
“Nithin Coca, [has a] newsletter promising no-Trump stories, and will instead try to remind everyone that there are just as important issues in our own backyard. I love this guy. Please subscribe.”
— Alan Soon, Splice Media
“A weekly newsletter covering topics the author feels to not get enough coverage in the mainstream press. Covers all of Asia, not just Southeast Asia. A good one for quirky and interesting stories.”
— Stuart McDonald, TravelFish

Asia Undercovered has become my go-to source for critical English-language journalism about Asia. The special thing is that care is taken to give local outlets and Asian journalists more space. Check it out, it's free (donation-based) and very insightful.https://t.co/UUnZtwr3hU

For anyone curious about lesser-covered topics across Asia, I highly recommend Nithin Coca's (@excinit) excellent Asia Undercovered and Green Echoes newsletters. One of the few I look forward to reading each week.https://t.co/uHymSigaXohttps://t.co/PsRwIPCwph

About a month ago I signed up to a bunch of newsletters, and have unsubscribed from nearly all of them. (too much navel gazing) However, two really deserve reading:@billmckibben's climate change newsletter:https://t.co/B2RMKy26ZV

Shout out to @excinit and @findingsen and their conversation on Asia Undercovered today. Learnt a lot from it, especially on the importance of seeing a reporter as a part of an ecosystem and the danger of ‘trapping’ Asian countries in old stereotypes.

in the Global North, a climate catastrophe is often talked about as an incoming future state. but in Asia and most of the Global South, it has been a present reality. it's been time for Western media to comprehensively cover that. great media analysis on #AsiaUndercovered: https://t.co/ILLR2tZERx
