Asian, U.S. journalists to address making news
By Gerry Everding "Asia in Print: A Dialogue With Asian and American Journalists on Making the News" will be the focus of a University-sponsored public forum to be held from 2:30-6 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Chase Park Plaza, 212-232 N. Kingshighway Blvd. Sponsored by the Visiting East Asian Professionals (VEAP) Program in Arts & Sciences, the event features Asian journalists from China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, as well as American journalists with extensive experience reporting on Asia.
Roundtable panelists, all seasoned veterans reporting on East Asia, will discuss not only the issues that shape the news emanating from the region, but also the factors that contribute to making what they report "newsworthy." Topics to be discussed include cultural perceptions of the role of journalism; governmental controls on access to information; the role of international journalists in creating a portrait of East Asia; the impact of news on regional politics; and implications of the Internet and globalization on cultures, media operation and government policies. Panelists include: • Sang-Hun Choe, a reporter for The Associated Press in South Korea who shared the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting on the U.S. massacre of civilians at No Gun Ri during the Korean War. •Nozomu Nakaoka, a free-lance journalist specializing in economics and finance and a longtime editor at various Asian media and Reuters. • Man-peng Tiao, a senior writer for Common Wealth magazine, now reporting on preventive health issues and the environment in Taiwan. • Ernest Yuyan Zhang, deputy director of Guangzhou Daily Press Group, China’s largest newspaper conglomerate. • Leslie Helm, a longtime Japan correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and Business Week, now a columnist for the Japanese magazine Sapio. • Repps Hudson, a St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer and editor who traveled to Japan on a fellowship and teaches courses on journalism and international affairs in University College in Arts & Sciences. • William Steven Jones, an editor with Dow Jones Newswires who spent 13 years in Asia as a reporter, news editor and managing editor of The Asian Wall Street Journal. • Judy Polumbaum, a journalism professor at the University of Iowa who has consulted for English-language media in China and written extensively on Asian issues. • Ellen Soeteber, award-winning journalist and editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch since January 2001. • Joyce Barnathan, an assistant managing editor of Business Week magazine, who recently completed a seven-year assignment as Asia regional editor and Hong Kong bureau manager for the magazine.
