media - Preparing for the next flashpoint


Only a few days ago I was pondering how Chinese journalists could be prepared for a next crisis, after hearing some of their experiences about reporting in Indonesia. For most Chinese journalists working abroad in crisis situations is really very new.
Well, those thoughts really helped. A Shanghai-based paper has asked me to make a proposal for a training for twenty of their journalists. Of course I know that media organizations should prepare their journalists and try to avoid unnessary risks. Still, I was pleasantly surprised when I was asked to think about a set-up.
