Wong Yang
Unclaimed profileJournalist, New Audience, The Straits Times
Bio
Wong Yang is a journalist on The Straits Times' New Audience team, where the brief is to reach readers who don't necessarily start their day on the newspaper's homepage. Sitting at the intersection of reporting and audience development, Wong Yang works on stories built for short-form video, social platforms, and the next generation of news consumers who expect Singapore journalism to meet them where they already scroll. His work blends straightforward reporting with the creator-economy instincts that modern newsrooms now demand, from scripting and on-camera narration to pulling out the human angles that travel well across TikTok and Instagram. He has represented ST on panels and live events alongside colleagues including Christie Chiu and Isabelle Kumar, where the conversation has often turned to how legacy outlets adapt to platform-first audiences without losing editorial weight. Wong Yang is part of a generation of ST journalists rebuilding how a 200-year-old masthead shows up on the small screen.
