Template:Short description Template:Italic title Template:Use dmy dates Newsbrief was the working title for a planned international news magazine, developed under the codename Project Phoenix by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).[1][2] The project was to be BBC Magazines' largest-ever investment when released in 2007.[3] The original 2006 release date was pushed back. The magazine was to be tied closely with the BBC's flagship current affairs programme, Newsnight.[4] In 2006, BBC Magazines' sales director Ashley Munday moved into a new development role in preparation for the launching of the magazine.[5] Peter Phippen, BBC Magazines' managing director had planned on the release of a news-based magazine since mid-1990s.

PATA was expected to correspond with BBC World for Project Phoenix on a subproject, Travel Profiles, to promote Asian-Pacific travel.[6] Other promotions were to be done by CNN International and National Geographic, and in print titles such as Time, Fortune, and Newsweek.[7] Australia, Canada, Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore were to be the biggest contributors to the project.[8]
