IDFC2022 Second Online Event
[What a Journalist Wants to Tell You About Myanmar Today]
Held January 29, 2022
For this event, we invited 北川成史, a journalist with Tokyo Shimbun, to give a lecture.
They spoke about “unforgettable moments” from their reporting career and “stories about reporting on the coup.”
The event was also packed with valuable insights that could only be heard there, including “the gap between reporting and reality” and “the impact on the Rohingya issue.”
From a journalist’s perspective, we were given an explanation of how we can address and engage with international issues, beyond Myanmar alone.
