It would be really difficult to focus on all the media organizations in Asia, as the list is incredibly long. But, we can definitely focus on some of the major countries and their media organizations in Asia. India is the largest democratic set up in Asia and so it is quite obvious that India allows freedom of press. Hence, we notice an impressive growth of media in India. India is presently running more than 45 thousand press houses. Some of the most significant media organizations in Asia especially in India are Times of India Group, The Indian Express Group, The Hindu Group and The Hindustan Times Group as far as the newspapers or print media are concerned. Indians expect to impartial views from the media organizations for various economic, political and social issues simply because Indian government tries its best to secure the freedom of press for the formation of healthy public opinion.
Media organizations in Asia cannot be discussed without the mention of China and its press houses or electronic media agencies. Television broadcasting is still controlled by Chinese Central Television and this popular electronic medium is entertaining the Chinese with its 16 program channels. Chinese government is not encouraging foreign produced animation since 1st September 2006 because, the people were getting addicted to such foreign cartoons and this addiction was definitely affecting the Chinese animation cartoons. The number of newspapers in China has increased and this is definitely a major change in the history of media organizations in Asia. But, it would be very wrong to assume that Chinese media organizations enjoy the same degree of freedom of expression as the Indian media agencies do. Media organizations are very much controlled by the Chinese government. In the recent years, one would observe the growth of political and intellectual journals in China along with more than 25 thousand printing houses. The change is quite impressive.

If we are discussing the media organizations in Asia, we cannot really ignore the significance of the media agencies in Singapore. Singapore is considered to be the hub of media centers in the entire Asia- pacific region. The Singapore government has taken enough initiative to establish Singapore as the media hub of the world. Thus, there is no dearth of IT media sectors, broadcasting, publishing and print media agencies in Singapore.
