South China Morning Post

What the app is for

South China Morning Post is a news and magazine app for reading reporting on China, Hong Kong, Asia and international affairs. It suits readers who want an English-language view of regional business, technology, politics, culture and daily developments, rather than a general headlines-only feed.

Reading and discovery

The app brings together written news, explainers and longer-form coverage in one place. Readers can follow topics or authors through myNEWS, helping them build a more focused selection of stories. Navigation can also be adjusted so frequently used sections are easier to reach.

• Coverage includes business, technology, lifestyle and other news sections.
• Focus View supports browsing by topic and finding stories beyond the newest headlines.
• Additional formats include podcasts, films and infographics alongside written articles.

Who may find it useful

This is a good fit for people following China and Asian markets, regional politics or Hong Kong news, as well as readers who prefer analysis and background alongside breaking coverage. The range of sections may also suit households where different people use the same phone for news, business and lifestyle reading.
