About CNA

Public Broadcaster Government-alignedRead with context

CNA (Channel NewsAsia) is a Singapore-based multinational news channel owned by Mediacorp, Singapore's state-owned media conglomerate. Mediacorp is ultimately owned by Temasek Holdings, a state investment firm of the Singapore government.

CNA has been noted for its pro-government bias in Singapore and has been labeled the 'voice of the Government'. While Media Bias/Fact Check rates CNA as 'Least Biased' with 'High factual reporting', Reporters Without Borders ranks Singapore low on press freedom (123rd in 2026) due to government control over media, self-censorship, and restrictive laws. Freedom House also notes that all domestic media are government-linked and self-censorship is common.
