Asia Press International - Any aspiring TCK journalists?

Posted by Ayako on January 29th, 2008 | Categorized as Articles | 331 views and 7 Comments

This isn’t an article but didn’t know where to put it. If there are any aspiring journalists in the Asia region who are still unsure of what they want to do they might try contacting Akihiro Nonaka and having a chat with him. He’s an old friend of mine and I’ve helped their organization with interpreting/translating sometimes.

If I remember correctly, I think the basic premise of this organization was for helping journalists report the truth as they see it without being controlled by mega corporations. I’m not 100% certain but I believe journalists from this organization have covered news from South Korea as well as Afghanistan.

When you write Akihiro Nonaka, you might say you saw the link to his organization posted here by me (Ayako Nakamura). He should remember me. :)

And here’s a related article (?) about what they’ve done:

    i want to study journalism later in when i get to uni, and i think a organization like that is what i dream to work for, because i believe that the truth should me told, and not be controlled by mega corportations afraid that it the news will hurt the or put the in a bad light.

    I never became a journalist myself but it will be nice to see some real TCK journalists out there who are more likely to have a balanced perspective of the world than mono-cultural people in my lifetime!

    If you’re interested it’s worth having a chat with Mr. Nonaka. Maybe after talking to him a bit you’ll know whether it’s really for you or not? :)
