What is it like to be a foreign journalist in North Korea, China and Thailand?
How is ease of access to information? Is there cooperation among local press and authorities? What’s the atmosphere in the office like?
Three veteran journalists from the AP will share their experiences and insights on working from Pyongyang, Beijing and Bangkok.
Topics to be covered include news collecting tactics, interview rights and amount of cooperation from local authorities and press.
We’ll have Q&A time. Bring your questions. We’ll also encourage everyone to share their own experiences.
