Financial Media Firm Reorg Strengthens In Asia, Buys Dai1 Media

Reorg, a financial media and technology company, has announced that it has acquired Dai1 Media, a subscription-based provider of news, insights and analysis regarding China.

Though the terms of the transaction were not disclosed, it is part of the company’s global growth strategy where Reorg has invested heavily in Asia over the last 12 months.

“We are delighted to bring the Dai1 Media team and its clients into Reorg to amplify our quality coverage of China,” said Kent Collier, founder and CEO of Reorg.

The company has already grown its team of financial and legal analysts as well as investigative journalists in the region to 20, based in Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Australia.

“The Dai1 Media team will significantly enhance our offering to clients globally,” added Collier.

With a team of experienced financial journalists, many of whom are bilingual, Dai1 Media informs it diverse client base about deal-making for companies and assets based in China.
