Reporting the ASEAN (three-part series)

My three-part series on media and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been published in Vol. VIII, No. 32 (September 14-20, 2008) issue of Bulatlat Online Magazine.

I would like to thank my friends at the International Institute for Journalism (IIJ) of InWEnt-Germany for allowing me to publish a slightly revised version of the paper I used in our two training courses last July and August in Jakarta, Indonesia.

For those who want to know the state of the ASEAN press and my thoughts on better ASEAN coverage, please read my three-part series with the common kicker Reporting the ASEAN:

If you want to know a participant’s thoughts about our recently held training course in Jakarta, please visit IIJ’s blog The Daily IIJ and read two posts titled “The ASEAN Media” and “On record: My InWEnt-ASEAN experience,” both written by Zamboanga Today Editor-in-Chief Frencie Carreon.

Your comments to my three-part series will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.
