On August 19, 2026, Jun Zhang, Chief Technology Officer of the South China Morning Post (SCMP), emphasized at the INMA Asia-Pacific News Media Summit that news publishers must prioritize rethinking how journalism reaches readers with AI, rather than merely using the technology for workflow efficiency. Previously, on August 11, SCMP signed three memorandums of understanding (MOUs) in Kuala Lumpur, aiming to deepen regional cooperation and serve as a bridge connecting Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the broader Asean region. This follows an announcement on August 2, informing readers of SCMP's commitment to adapting its print and digital experience amid the profound transformation of the media industry by artificial intelligence.
