ChinaTechNews.com today announced an agreement with CNET Networks Asia Pacific, a subsidiary of CNET Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ; CNET) which currently operates CNET Asia, ZDNet Asia and CNET Direct, to deliver daily China-related technology news to ZDNet Asia. ChinaTechNews.com's English-language news is currently deployed and already available on ZDNet Asia.
ZDNet Asia is a comprehensive online resource for enterprise and SMB technology decision-makers in Asia, featuring 400 fresh pieces of original content per month from its Asia and global editorial teams, including tech news and insight with regional perspectives, and over 60,000 whitepapers, case studies and webcasts in its IT library. Business professionals in charge of technology rely on ZDNet Asia to deliver deep insight into IT planning, vendor consideration, and product selection.
ZDNet Asia reaches IT professionals and business influencers throughout South East Asia and Hong Kong. It also helps audience stay abreast of the latest technology developments, and provides marketers access to an engaged audience and opportunities to "interact" with them through effective online strategies and campaigns.
Operating online since 1999, ChinaTechNews.com distinguishes itself from other technology information providers through the diversity and accuracy of its IT and industry news briefs; contextual and background information; and expert commentary, all of which is processed on a daily basis. It has a registered subscriber database of over 30,000 readers — more than double any other similar technology publisher in Greater China — and over 150,000 hits each day. ChinaTechNews.com is the top destination for business executives, technology investors, and netizens who crave daily news about China's booming technology sector. ChinaTechNews.com currently has syndication agreements with many other information providers, including Dow Jones, China.com, iResearch, and the Internet Society of China.
ChinaTechNews.com is owned and financed by BDL Media, a Hong Kong-based multimedia direct marketing company owning dozens of online and offline direct marketing database assets.
"BDL Media is happy to partner ZDNet Asia, the leading online technology media house in Asia, to provide daily syndicated full-text news," said Danny Levinson, CEO of BDL Media and publisher of ChinaTechNews.com. "ChinaTechNews.com is the only independent English-language daily technology news source solely covering China, and we are confident of providing strong China-focused technology business news for ZDNet Asia's audience. This deal also extends ChinaTechNews.com's brand equity and will help grow BDL Media's marketing database. In our view, it is a perfect fit to work with ZDNet Asia because this deal highlights both companies' strengths."
In addition, ChinaTechNews.com will set aside a special section called "Asia Tech" on its own site to showcase technology news from outside of Asia that is provided by ZDNet Asia. This will broaden ChinaTechNews.com's ability to supplement its own China-focused research and news with ZDNet Asia's high quality news covering the rest of Asia.
