media - Phoenix TV(2): still underfunded

Luqiu Luwei

We are still greatly underfunded, said Luqiu Luwei, "especially compared to the Western media." While able to build on an experience of half an decade, their operations are both short of equipment and the people are poorly trained.
"We had one satellite phone in Indonesia, that broke down after two days," she says. "We have equipment we cannot use and have not real training." Investing in these operations will in the end reflect on the quality, Luqiu says.
