  Message from the Chairman
As the newly elected SOPA Chairman for 2008/2009 taking the baton from my predecessor Alan Lammin since April 1, I am extremely proud of the opportunities SOPA has been able to create for local and international media brands in Asia since its founding in 1982. Over the past 27 years, SOPA has dedicated itself to preserving freedom of the press in the Asia region and to ensuring that independent, quality journalism is observed, encouraged and acknowledged.
